In this video, I review SketchUp Pro 2023 from my perspective, that of a residential designer who uses SketchUp Pro for every phase of the design process, even construction documents. Unfortunately the new tools, features, and products don't actually improve my efficiency or bottom line. I'm frustrated that Trimble is diluting SketchUp with peripheral products that should be plugins. While sometimes impressive in their own ways, these new features and products aren't useful to the core customer base of architects and interior designers. I wish they would turn their focus back to the core offering, SketchUp and LayOut for desktop. Easy 3d models linked to beautiful 2d drawings... That's the problem to solve!
