Overall Satisfaction with SketchUp

I use SketchUp for quickly developing 3D models of ideas. It has been useful for demonstrating machine aspects, home projects, and conveying the general idea for the customer.
  • Easy to pick up and use.
  • Intuitive buttons and menus for tools.
  • 3D that is available to anyone.
  • Measurements are limited.
  • Great if including a renderer application.
  • More file export options.
  • Not used for sales purposes.
CATIA, NX, AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS - all are higher level than SketchUp but have a high learning curve to use.
SketchUp is great as an introduction to 3D for education, home projects and a very useful tool for how easy it is. Higher level CAD systems (such as CATIA or SOLIDWORKS or NX) are needed for professional applications.
