Sketchup is way more powerful than you realise, yes its a fast way of putting together buildings n shapes etc but its capable of more than just for visuals, its used by professionals worldwide as it exports .obj files compatibile with Maya and 3D Max.
Your assuming what you see is the best it can do, its certainly not. When combined with the vray plugin, it looks FANTASTIC. If you doubt me, youtube it ;-), its photo realistic.
I"m going to guess you are neither a college student nor a practicing professional by your comments. I've been designing for more than 19 years and have been teaching CAD based systems at the college level for more than 10 years. Revit is most definitely not a trend and with the BIM requirements of local, state and Federal agencies it is one of the most complete tools in the market place. The parametric qualities that Revit offers is unsurpassed.
@nrcadman Well you didnt read my comment good I see. I sad that it is a good program for architects and designers. That doenst mean its also good to make technical drawings with it.
I hope that you dont need no 19 years do see the difference between design and engineering.
@hopala007 BIM is here, 3D BIM is the only way forward and will be the norm for years to come. You'll be a dinosaur in a few years if you don't open your eyes !
good example but I'm afraid you'using sketchup pro. I think its features are good and dpersonally I find layout usefull, though I'd never pay 500 or more euros to download and definatelly would not bother to find a cracked version. You see I'm a student so my budget is limited. Try incorporating cad, photoshop and sketchup. You'll get even better results
@kwstikos Hi thanks for the comments. You are right about using SU Pro. I should have mentioned that. I am very much in favour of the student having access to low cost software which is very much part of why I have such an interest in this great technology. You can purchase a Pro student license for $49/yr!
@sketchupireland thank you too. $49/yr sounds tempting but personally what I do is to cobine SU with CAD via photoshop. Sometimes though I use the version 7 of SU with the dwg importer plugin free from google. What is of great help too, is the SU Podium and V-ray renderers. All these softwares are free to use, or have a pretty desent free version, perhaps the only one that worths buying is the SU podium which costs $79 but offers a great deal of rendering formats and image resolutions.
Wow, so nice! Terrific! This is so stunning. Impressive.

Absolutely shocking if you think you can product a full set of technical drawings from Sketch up. Its a basic visualization tool, that is it ...

Its a good program for architects and designers. But if you need detailled technical drawing its better to use autocad.
And dont try revit because its crap and expensive. And the productivity is really low.
Revit is just a trend nothing more. You can do the same and more with autocad.
