I reviewed some of their videos and carefully looked through their website. Recently, I came across a company call Modumate…warning, I know nothing about this company.

As most professionals know, Revit is an animal and is very hungry for money, time, and learning curves are out of control.

I then only continue with SKUP as needed but will never update the model as the project is in full documentation mode in Revit. After SD is complete, I transition the Owner’s final approved plan into Revit. All of these projects get started in SKUP from Existing Conditions to SD.

My firm focuses mostly on Hospitality, Retail, and custom Residential. I can handle 1/4' off, but any further and the type of work I do just does not work for me.įor what it is worth, here is my current set up. I completely agree about the accuracy of snaps and dimensions. I have been using SKUP Pro for years and working around all the problems associated with Layout and the way it handles the modeled information. I much more enjoy modeling in Shapr3D to Sketchup on IPAD.īoy I have been in the exact place you are in right now. I have sent CAD to my drafters to add into their drawings - which amazed my collegues becasue if there is one bad thing about Sketchup, importing to CAD is lacking. Although not so customisable right now, but I think its another thing on the radar. They improve it every month and I am lead to believe more material will be added, maybe even we can add our own soon.Ĭreating 2D drawings is a bit like Layout, but fast. But I use it to develop details and millworks which its perfect for. No scenes, no cameras, limited materials. Amazing!īut it does not have all that an architect or Interior Designer would want - yet. Its fast and works on the Ipad with the pencil and you can use a PC sto continue your project. It even converts your 3D model into a 2D CAD or PDF drawing!! The tools are very good for modeling as far as I can see. I have been using Shapr3D for design work instead of Sketchup these past months (Interior Design type work).
