### Pros

"As an audio visual company, it allows us to map out layouts, staging, screens, lighting and room setups in a clear and professional way."

"The plugin compatibility with rendering softwares like Vray and Enscape makes it very easy to do live updates and see the test render before producing final."

"The fact there is a free version, which although limited compared with the paid version, it is a very powerful tool for early concept design for architecture or building development that can turn ideas into real."

### Cons

"Complex or larger files can slow or crash Sketchup, especially if you are using a standard Laptop or computer to run it, if you are using it professionally or often you really need a powerful device to run it"

"Although it has is tools for layer management, they are not as easy to use as in AutoCAD, Photoshop or almost any other graphic software."

"I'm not sure how the experience differs on Microsoft but it can be frustrating when the program freezes on Mac (this would also depend of course on the spec of your computer)"
