Be prepared to waste a lot of time.
For all the hype it is buggy as heck- things that are rendered perfectly fine suddenly 'vanish' when uploaded to Shapeways- hours of tweaking is hours wasted; trying to get someone from Sketchup to help is also time consuming- and they expect me to pay for the 'pro' version with all of these errors?
Pros: easy to use.
logical.
Cons: buggy as all heck when uploaded to shapeways.
awful communication from Staff More

SketchUp Make 2015 (32-bit) 15.3.330
Powerful yet accessible 3D modeling software
SketchUp bucks the trend of expensive 3D modeling software such as 3DSMax and Cinema4D and presents a free, easy-to-use alternative with which you can even post your creations onto Google Earth for the world to see.
Pretty good.. Never heard about it previously, but the software seems to be pretty decent. I recommend. Pros: Does everything what's needed. Cons: Occasional bugs
Love it!. Great design software. Easy to use and very helpful. It is a real benefit to be able to layout your design before cutting wood. Pros: Ease of use. Cons: More tutorials for woodworking
Its a pretty good way of designing your objects and really helpful.. Its a pretty good way of designing your objects and really helpful. Pros: The 3d modeling you can do. Cons: I think it can improve on little stuff like if it were possible to make a curved circle pop out
Sketch-up is great for projects. I use sketch-up for a lot of projects, and It's GREAT! I get As on my projects when using Sketch-up and I love it. :) Pros: All of the choices. Cons: A little bit laggy. Somewhat difficut to understand
Awesome-I use it for homework.. Awesome-I use it a lot for homework, and it works for architecture, which I love. Pros: The ability to design houses. The possibilities-endless! Cons: NOTHING :3
Amazing for a free software and good enough for beginners & experts alike.. As someone who is used to advanced CAD software, Google SketchUp was a step back. I found it quite disconcerting for the first hour of use which is nothing but expected with trying different CAD software, but I soon got to learn how it worked and from there made leaps and bounds of progress at what I wanted to accomplish including things I found impossible even in autoCAD Civil 2014 which costs £5000+. It became very easy to use once I understood the follow me tool. Is it better than the expensive CAD softwares? No. But for a free software it is amazing and gets a good rating from me.
Pros:
Can import Google Earth map data.
Follow me tool is very useful.
Cons:
Convoluted methods for achieving simple objectives MoreTerrible. Zoom is flawed... Limited drawing options... Effectively zero editing options... Overall usability?? Irritatingly useless... Pros: Looks - Purely aesthetic funtions. Cons: No functionality as a real drawing programme
Interesting App. Cool App. I love using it. But it is quite slow. I wish it was faster. Pros: You can use your creativity. Cons: Quite slow
It is very laggy. It is extremely laggy, and i have tested this on multiple computers. It is really annoying to use because of this lag. Pros: You can create a lot of things. Cons: It is extremely laggy and won't let me do things easily
very powerfull and easy to use software!. very powerfull and easy to use software! you dont have to be experienced used to start using it!
looking forward to more simple value addition.. amazing....awaiting for more simple rendering looking forward to more simple value addition.
Easy to use and is free which is very helpful for students who are training. Easy to use. It is free which is very helpful for students who are training their skills. Also very good for 3D presentations. Cons: its adaptability to smaller resolution laptops or net books. Common Bugs which causes it to lag.
Top 3D Software. Wanted to let you know that Google SketchUp made the top 5 3D Modeling Software list! Congrats! http://techmarketingbuffalo.com/3-best-free-3d-modeling-software/
my review of sketch up pro 8. ive used sketch up pro 8, its like pro 7 but i cannot install the podium 1.7.3 in pro 8 un like in pro 7 i can use plug ins like podium...pls help me solve this problem..thankx
good COULD BE BETTER. I think it was OK but it never made me want to stay on it like other software does. Building was fun but when you are done there is nothing to it all you have to do is send it to google earth. Altogether a ok software needs a little work. Pros: building was fun OK software good for beginners. Cons: there are no cons about it, it just needs work
Great thing!. I thnk It's great! Only, as the other person said, It takes too long to download! But I think It's awsome, because you can create stuff, and after put them on your Google Satelite! Isn't that awsome? And I think It's this big to download because It has many things to do, and It is very cool. Pros: Nice appereance Cool things to make Perfect usability Easy-to-use. Cons: Big to download
Hard to make some things MoreFun stuff. Played around with the application and had some fun with it. Pros: Some fun features, quite easy to use. Cons: I don't really need it.
Very Nice. This software is fun and easy-to-use. it allows you to create buildings easily like a professional architect. The best part is that after you draw a building you are allowed to put it into Google Earth. This allows you to customize Google Earth. Pros: Allows you to sketch professionally Easy-to-use Lots of Tools Put sketches into Google Earth. Cons: Large Download
