Low PC requirements for 3D CAD of any Structure.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates SketchUp from other similar products?

If you had tried a lot of 3D CAD software, you can feel how light this software is. It does not require a high-end desktop to have a realistic render of your structure.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The best thing that SketchUp has is the drag and drop feels of its components. It is very easy to use compared to its counterpart produce by Autodesk if you know what I mean. And most of my Architect friends use this software.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Though this software is great. We can't deny that its collaboration is not that great.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Price-wise and feature-wise, just be comfortable using it. Make it your main 3D CAD software and you will have a big advantage in using it.
