Advantages: Its free, great features and very easy to use!

Disadvantages: None.

I really do find Google sketchup a wonderful tool I use it so often to help me with design work. I used to use other CAD software however, it was really difficult to use. That is why I love Sketchup so much, I find it so easy to get the finished product that I intended. The interface I find is really simplistic with the tools really well layed out making it ideal to use. There is also an impressive amount of tools that allow you to

The finished object son skecthup are of a high quality which I find to be really good. I also love how there is a walking mode which allows your model to be walked around. The models can also be easily looked at from a variety of different angles which I really liked because it makes it possible to analyse your model more easily. Its great for getting detailed models created because there are so many measurement tools that I found great to use.

Overall I found the software to be really responsive and I really liked how it didn't take forever to render the image. There is a push/pull feature that is just brilliant, all you have to do is pull up a flat 2d image and it will become 3d, proving its simplicity! My favourtie part about Google sketchup is the sketchup warehouse feature which allows you to download pre done models. I found this so useful because it saves so much times when you don't have to create unessesary models. There is such a choice that it is great fun to just look at what there is available. For me the fact that this software is free is just exceptional and I really do love it for that!

Summary: Superb CAD design software that is ideal for all users.
