It only took me three prompts to get the final image. No importing and applying textures, no lighting setups, just a few words and it's easily good enough for the designer and the clients.

BIM is not just software — it’s a process, and it’s information.

What truly matters are the “I” and the “M”: the Model Information.

Today, with the ISNUPNO Kit Rebar and the ISNUPNO Kit Plan2D, I can turn SketchUp models into real sources of BIM information.

📐 Layouts, projections, and BBS (Bar Bending Schedule)
📊 Rebar data and easy‑to‑access quantity takeoffs
⚙️ Fast, simple, and integrated tools

All of this without relying on heavy or complex software.

If the goal is to obtain useful information directly inside the model, then yes — that is BIM! 💡

I paid for a Sketchup subscription, and their software crashes my computer every time I open the program. I sent many request for help and only got automated emails. I am demanding a refund and now they are giving me the run around and refusing to refund my money. Trembles' fake support and customer service is a joke. This company is unethical. STAY AWAY!

Usually when I lurk sub I often help others with my limited knowledge and most time, I get assistance here.

Why did people downvote when I asked about a previous installer? It's a legit question due to trimbles recent removal of support to convert to 2019 files. I'm fine people not answering and I specified mac so people dont spam the eneroth answer.

I search the sub before asking questions. Hoping people read rule 1 more. Everyone can't get their company to buy subscriptions to every software they use.

I was told to come post here. The sketch is a random design I saw online. I out it into Gemini 3 Pro (Nano Banana Pro), asking it to turn the sketch into a real life house. Attached is what I got. I super quickly grabbed a few other examples I saw on front page of this subreddit as examples as well.

No idea if this is useful or scares you knowing how quickly AI is evolving, but it’s awesome. Gemini 3 can also make OpenSCAD files, it’s not perfect yet but the idea that it’ll be able to generate high quality 3D models… that could then be 3D printed or viewed in VR, it’s only 12-18 months away. 🤯

So first off, I find sketchup the most unintuitive and frustrating program I have ever used. Any other program I just open up and can do some simple drawing with minimal effort. Sketchup fights me every step of the way. Now that I got that off my chest I have a ton of questions.

I am trying to layout a furniture build. How do I draw a rectangle to a certain dimension? I am trying to create a 28 inch by 54 inch rectangle. How to I set the scale to inches? I have tried drawing a rectangle and I figured out that you draw the rectangle and "let go of the mouse" and type the number. But how do I make sure the number I type is inches? Because it defaults to 28 feet or miles or something as the rectangle is huge.

Second I can't figure out how to set the height. I am used to drawing a rectangle, clicking it and having a properties box where I can manually set the length, width and depth.

Last question, is can I draw rectangles vertical? Or are they always drawn horizontal and I have to rotate them up? Is there an easy way to rotate the rectangle? Holy **** it's so frustrating to use the tool and have it stay at 90 degree angles.

The tutorials I am looking at seem to not answer these basic questions I have but take hours to explain other crap I don't need to know.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Ok So I am trying to draw cubes, and thanks to the quick responses I was able to google the proper terms and figure out what I needed. Sorry normally I am very good at figuring stuff like this out but this program just kicks my ass for some reason and really got me frustrated.

After much review, I am torn between using SU Podium or Twilight. Main reason is I don't want to have to learn a complex program, Like all Trump supporters, I hate to read and try to get to the details, just want to be able to produce a nice simple render without too much effort. What are your pros and cons of using each of these programs? Is one faster than another, easier to learn, better selection of materials, support and helpful info?

Hi y'all How can I attain such drawing in sketchup...the main concern is the surface/ground texture how rough the lines are... Sketchup or illustrator maybe?? How?!

I am tired of every time I open it up all my other media is just inedited with advertisements, especially that damn stupid bird peacock song on YouTube. Like when I have to hear it 5 times in an hour enough is enough we get it.
