"As an interior designer and custom furniture builder, SketchupPro has become an essential tool for me, the same as any power tool that I'm using every day. Whether I'm pitching a concept or an idea, design, technical drawings or paperwork, photorealistic renders for a presentation, it's my go-to software. In combination with V-ray, it definitely helps me sell my ideas and present my desingns in a very professional way. I love the simplicity of the interface, it makes my workflow uninterrupted and fluid. In my case, SketchupPro + V-ray was definitely a smart investment, I can't imagine doing my job without it."
Hrvoje Ljubičić
"Really like SketchUp and V-Ray, but one minus I would give for SketchUp Warehouse because there are still some really bad models with lots of hidden geometry and have an inappropriate name so sometimes you can find bed among flowers for example."
Vedrana
"Excellent, fast workflow, great new features, and attributes!"
Ana
"SketchUp is great and only one tool, that I’m drawing with around 10 years…combined with V-Ray it is pure joy to see results after sketching! As a Production Designer, sometimes I’m finding SU to become very slow when my model becomes more than 150 MB, even if I have a pretty good configuration on my computer and taking care of the number of polygons and cleaning up model. Files more than 300 Mb takes a lot of patient and time to manipulate with !!!! In those situations, sometimes crossing my mind, to switch to another application! So, finding a way to speed up (besides, turning off and on layers …) is my main goal to improve this great application. V-Ray itself is perfect 10!"

TOP RECOMMENDATIONS from top experts
Ivan Borov
Interior Designer | 3Dea Design Studio
SketchUp is my “Swiss army knife” for Design. In our studio, we use it every day. It simplifies work-flow in many ways. We use it for plot & survey, design ideas, concept sketches, mock-ups, etc. I’m using a licensed product because I really respect the work of the SketchUp team, besides – you have great customer support.
Stoyan Nachev
Landscape Architect | Viridis Landscape Architects
In our practice, we use SketchUp on daily basis. It allows us to execute our ideas with great quality and speed. Thanks to LayOut we create documentation, based directly on the 3D model. Furthermore, V-Ray for SketchUp is an amazing addition when we need photorealistic renderings.
Teodor Rachev
Interior Designer | Creative Industries Academy
Simple, efficient, powerful, and with no quality compromises. SketchUp is the ultimate creative machine. It gives you the opportunity not only to be as precise as you need to be in your architecture work but also can help you unleash your creativity.

Designing Innovative Workplace Interiors with 3DEA Bulgaria
Ivan Borov got the 3D bug at fourteen when he collaborated with a friend on a project using SketchUp and Google Earth. He was fascinated by SketchUp’s accessibility and technology as a whole. Whilst studying interior design in Milan, a short film submission that combined his love for graphic design, video, and photo editing won him a scholarship.

From concept design to construction with SketchUp
When you walk through the entrance, you have a view of our manufacturing unit. Everything made there is designed in SketchUp. You can see the steel being welded together. Northpower Stålhallar builds steels halls so our building is, of course, built with a steel frame. Find out more in the blog below
