![]() I am writing this post because I really hope that Trimble actually invests some effort into making sketchup a seriously better version of itself. It however does not have the community that sketchup has though which is a little sad. ![]() I am looking at moving to Shapr3D which has an affordable subscription model and also has the ability to solid model product and furniture too. I think the best thing about sketchup is the community behind it and all of the wonderful plugins that have been made by you all. If that doesnt suit you, our users have ranked more than 50 alternatives to SOLIDWORKS and five of them are available for iPad so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. I have also found the progressive improvements of the software over the years to be very minimal, not much has really changed in the 17 years I have used the software, yet Trimble have moved to a subscription model which locks you into continuously spending money on a program that just never evolves and really gets any better. Its not free, so if youre looking for a free alternative, you could try Shapr3D. It is a terribly slow program and I have had the worst time with snapping just not working, which makes creating accurate dimensioned drawings impossible. ![]() I have been trying to use it as my sole architectural software (for modelling and documentation) but I have found layout to be the bane of my existence. ![]() ![]() I use sketchup for architectural modelling, visualisation and documentation. I have been professionally using sketchup for over 17 years and am coming to the realisation that I am going to have to leave this software behind for another one that actually just works. ![]()
