SketchUp’s ability to plop a building down onto a location in While Google promotes SketchUp as an all-purpose 3-D modeling package, I suspect that the folks who will put the time and energy into mastering its features will likely be generating architectural renderings. SketchUp is for drawing models, not blueprints-the drawing features don’t support the level of precision scaling available in CAD programs, or in Adobe Illustrator, but are sufficiently precise for creating models, mock-ups, and demonstrations. Google recommends SketchUp for all kinds of 3-D drawing projects, and its available libraries (from Google’s 3D Warehouse) include objects for plumbing, interior design, industrial design, and more. If, for example, you want to create a set of printed displays for a kiosk, or to present to a client, you need SketchUp Pro. You’ll need LayOut if you want to print 2-D views of a SketchUp 3-D model (or if you want to project a 2-D slide on a computer screen). The other is the bundled LayOut program (still in beta). One is an expanded set of export formats that allow SketchUp modelers to work closely with architects using CAD software. The free version features the application’s powerful 3-D functionality, while the pro version adds two main features necessary for professional modelers.
Google’s SketchUp Pro 6 is an enhanced version of its free SketchUp 6 program.
