SketchUp Free is the simplest free 3D modeling software that lets you bring your SketchUp projects everywhere you go. More, it has intuitive tools so that users can easily navigate and sculpt accurately in 3D-view. The basic principles are simple to grasp, allowing you to create a simple printable model from scratch in just a few minutes. There are not many buttons that can boggle beginners as they try to understand the process of 3D modeling.

SketchUp Free comes with a neat and tidy interface. First-time users will need to review and agree to the provided Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Privacy Policy supplement. After that, you can tap the Start Modeling button to access the workspace. Alternatively, you can also use your Google account. Partial evidence of this is the wide range of plugins/extensions available through Sketchucation and the 3D Warehouse.To access the program, you simply need to register to receive a Trimble account. I think Trimble (the makers of SketchUp) is wise to leave rendering to others. Thus, adding rendering to SketchUp would represent both significant investment and, more importantly, a tangent away from their core expertise. In programming terms, reading this forum has led me to understand that rendering is very different from modeling.

At the same time, they allow extensibility through plugins/extensions. One of the things that continues to impress me about SketchUp is that, for the most part, they’ve striven to keep to the basics, which for SketchUp is to be an incredibly powerful surface modeler. Wondering why Sketch Up doesn’t include a rendering engine w/ it …Ĭount me as one who is thankful that SketchUp doesn’t include a rendering engine!
