So, the ease of use is the main features that I like about SketchUp. Other thing is, it is easy to install and use plugins in this software. The true version of architectural design is visualized using this software. > > **Cons**: I don't like having to use same command for different use. For example, you have to use M command for both moving and copying albeit you have to use control sign for copying. Still, if there were independent command for each use, it would have been so much easier like AutoCAD > > The overall experience is fantastic. This is the software I started my journey in 3d modelling and it has been handy ever since. I can easily add and use plugins for various use. Also, the software update is getting better every time. ----- ### "Sketchup is a Designer's Best Tool" — 4.0/5 > **Colleen** | *17 April 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to create detailed, creative 3D models. > > **Cons**: Challenging learning curve, technical issues at times that causes crashing of software. > > Overall Sketchup provides features that meet my design needs. ----- ### "Sketchup breathes life into our renovation plans." — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *3 July 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sketchup Kitchen and Bathroom Design sketchup sketchupdrawing plan their kitchen or bath design. I can deliver 3D images to clients without having to wait for full CAD renders, which means approvals happen faster. > > **Cons**: The learning curve on model precision was a bit steep, and it’s not free to export in some important formats. > > It’s expedited us in our design-to-client sign-off cycle. When clients can see the space in 3D before we build, they feel more comfortable advancing. ----- ### "SketchUp Review" — 5.0/5 > **Harrison** | *27 January 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is user friendly, efficient and has a lot of different tools. Having used it for more than 5 years I've become proficient and are able to create interior design layouts with ease and efficiency. > > **Cons**: It sometimes freezes when using it on Mac. I'm not sure how the experience differs on Microsoft but it can be frustrating when the program freezes on Mac (this would also depend of course on the spec of your computer) > > It is a fun, easy to use and versatile program that is the perfect application for my profession. ----- Page: 1 / 43\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/211798/sketchup?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/211798/sketchup) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
