“Amazing extension”

SketchUP is an awesome tool for planning out a 3D space quickly, without needing much 3D design knowledge. The SketchUp Warehouse is also an amazing extension that allows users to use pre-built assets from other users, speeding up the design process even more.

“Quick designing”

It allows users to design quickly and encourages to think fast. The software permits users to import google maps images with the altitude data which is very helpful for large scale projects.

“Easy to learn”

Sketch Up is a great animation platform to project architectural and interior design ideas. It is easy to use and easy to learn. It also offers free online tutorial for beginners. It allows users to do multiple projects in a week and need a program where one can import cad files or jpeg floorplans, quickly select walls and build up.

“Good for designing objects quickly”

I needed a program that would help nurture my creativity in designing an object that was technically sound as well as innovative. SketchUp helped me do this. Apart from creating designs, it also lets me edit designs, which really helps.

“Ease of use and recognition – important benefits”

The various types of tools and colors that this program offers are the best for me. Plus, since it easy to handle, it saves a lot of time that otherwise would be spent on trying to learn and understand it. Also, it is compatible with autocad, which improves its credibility and functionality to a great extent. It does, however, require a strong system to work on, so keep that in mind.

SketchUp Presence in 3D Animation Software
Trimble has offered its animation program SketchUp with two versions, SketchUp Make and SketchUp Pro. SketchUp Make is a free-of-charge version for home and personal users. The company offers a 30-day trial of SketchUp Pro for free and later users can either switch to Pro version or continue with SketchUp Make with no extra cost. To tap the growing trend of software available as mobile applications, Trimble developed multiple applications for Android and iOS operating systems, namely, SketchUp Mobile Viewer, Cubits, IrisVR Prospect, and Kubity. The company has implemented both organic and in-organic strategies for its growth. For instance, Trimble SketchUp partnered with Umbra, a leading graphics software technology company, to bring refined building information models (BIM), 3D data visualization, mixed reality, and the HoloLens. Umbra can process 3D BIM models allowing Trimble clients to work with voluminous 3D content on virtual devices by producing enhanced content.
