I also hear of four-five man shops running it as their dedicated software, although I imagine they would do a lot of repeat work as custom drawing can be slow. I know a couple of big shops who have a copy of standard handy on their computers to quickly draw up small details or fiddly parts that would take them three times as long on their $60,000 worth of cabinet making software. It probably won't be long till you want to shell out the $500 to go Pro. No parametric components out of the box.īasically the standard version is a great entry point and will serve you well for starting out. Doesn't 'think' like a cabinet maker as some of the better dedicated cabinet making products do (cabinets don't snap together). Can be fiddly when getting into close up details. 3D warehouse makes it easy to add in appliances etc.

with the free version that are 'acceptable', but for architectural stuff you would want SketchUp Pro with layout. Fantastic and easy to navigate 3D views that are worthy of customer presentations without rendering Easy to learn the basics and can do very complex things as you become more proficient. I have been using for two years now (Pro). I wouldn’t bother with AutoCAD unless I were using CNC, in which case you need the CAD. I use this program for everything including design, presentation, and cutlists. I used it for the first three years, then shelled out the cash for pro. Ninety nine percent of the drawing program is in the free version.

All the pro version gives you is a presentation program (Layout) that as noted can beĭone with other outside programs.

I would also download the free cutlist program and if you need higher resolution drawings you can also download the free Kerkythea program into SketchUp for photorealistic renderings.įor what you describe SketchUp can do easily in the free version. Your average customer will be thrilled with a well designed SketchUp drawing. I usually draw the picture then turn it to a jpeg and email it to the customer. I use SketchUp all the time for presentations. All I wanted to do is a layout of stud walls with the electric and plumbing showing, and it looks like I would have to spend $500.00 for SketchUp Pro (not doing that). However, it all still needs to be redrawn in AutoCAD to actually build the house faster and better because SketchUp is not supported by Google in ways that I feel are required. One person throws together fast 3D models of complex building and houses, does animations, etc. I work with people using this program all the time. If you want to complete serious submittal drawings it is not the one you want to use, but if you intend to use it for presentation/conceptual/preliminary design sketches it's great. It’s very easy to learn, actually no learning needed at all, and very intuitive. It has tons of glitches and creates exceptionally heavy (mb) files that are hard to email due to excessive size.

If you try you can achieve more or less precise drawings in it. It’s a simple program, and does decent conceptual drafting.

If anyone has any to share that would be appreciated. I would like to hear pros and cons about SketchUp.
