Shapr3D is a 3D modeling and design software for Windows 10, Linux and macOS users. But I just feel this will never happen.Softonic review Take on your own private business adventure I am writing this post because I really hope that Trimble actually invests some effort into making sketchup a seriously better version of itself. It however does not have the community that sketchup has though which is a little sad.

I am looking at moving to Shapr3D which has an affordable subscription model and also has the ability to solid model product and furniture too. I think the best thing about sketchup is the community behind it and all of the wonderful plugins that have been made by you all.

I have also found the progressive improvements of the software over the years to be very minimal, not much has really changed in the 17 years I have used the software, yet Trimble have moved to a subscription model which locks you into continuously spending money on a program that just never evolves and really gets any better.

It is a terribly slow program and I have had the worst time with snapping just not working, which makes creating accurate dimensioned drawings impossible. I have been trying to use it as my sole architectural software (for modelling and documentation) but I have found layout to be the bane of my existence. I use sketchup for architectural modelling, visualisation and documentation.

I have been professionally using sketchup for over 17 years and am coming to the realisation that I am going to have to leave this software behind for another one that actually just works.
