SketchUp

 Simple yet powerful tool for conceptual design and visualization.

 Enhances presentation skills with walkthroughs and photorealistic renders.

 Provides practical modeling experience for architects, engineers, and designers.

 Acts as a foundation for advanced BIM and CAD tools.

 3D Modeling Made Easy – Create buildings, interiors, furniture, and landscapes quickly.

 2D Documentation – Generate floor plans, sections, and elevations using Layout.

 Rendering & Visualization – Produce realistic images and animations with extensions.

 Extensive Libraries – Access 3D Warehouse with millions of pre-built models.

 Cross-Industry Applications – Used in architecture, interior design, construction, urban planning, and product design.
