SketchUp wins in 5 dimensions over other software!
How SketchUp is better for 3D design
Google SketchUp lends wings to your concepts and empowers you to create a marketing masterpiece with intuitive tools and simple interfaces. No need to spend on sophisticated software and expensive consultants anymore.
SketchUp positions itself as the perfect tool to visualize concepts. When you have to construct a form out of a vague concept, you have to draw and redraw, correct and repair. SketchUp gives you this freedom and allows you to change any which way, with simple, easy tools.
If you like to draw, SketchUp lets you do so. If you have a basic design to build upon, Photo Match lets you superimpose on an existing design with a variety of embellishments from simple lines to weights, colors, shadow, sunlight and a host of other features. Sketchy Effects gives your design the look of hand drawing, in different styles.
Would you like to redesign something that has been built in another software? Simply import it into SketchUp. The format does not matter as SketchUp supports all formats. Once done, measure it, turn it around, get a different perspective or go for a walk around your construct. Test it till you are satisfied.
You have built your design. Now, how would you like to present it? Will a print do for you? SketchUp converts your design into perfect 2D prints. Add text, annotation, measurements, anything you like, to make your presentation look professional.
How about high-resolution digital presentations? The LayOut feature can create a multi-page document with different styles, perspectives, measurements and views, all from one model. Not only that, your entire document gets automatically updated on modifying the original model. This is a unique feature because you get both print and digital documents from one LayOut. Still in beta stage, this feature will only get better.
SketchUp is simple to use and support is easily accessible. Simply email Tech Support. The SketchUp blog has user experiences in every aspect, so help is always at hand. The software is open to developers who would like to add value; for example, the Demeter program aims to provide energy analysis for your designs.
Apart from extensive use by architects, designers and realtors, the education sector has adopted the SketchUp software to make innovative projects; the models have also found applications in fields as diverse as medicine and gaming.
