I am new to 3d modeling in general. So far I love Sketchup for iPad and will be getting pro for pc very soon. It is relatively easy to learn the basics and the support staff is always quick to respond with any questions or problems I have. I cannot compare to other modeling platforms because I don’t have the knowledge or experience to do but I have tried a couple others and Sketchup has been the least frustrating to learn and one of the only ones I have been able to get a response from in a timely manner. Definitely recommend trying if you are looking to get into 3d modeling.

I really want to love this app. And it does many things very well. The potential of designing in 3d on an iPad with pencil is all that. But in practice, every time I use this app, I’m deeply frustrated. Tools seem to randomly switch to bizarre modes. I’ll select an object , choose the move tool and constrain to an axis, then start to move it, only to find that it’s decided I’m trying to rotate my object. Or I pan back a bit too far, and suddenly, I’m stuck “in” a wall and can’t pan or zoom back out. Things like this happen all over the place. So I give this an honest 3 stars. At the end of the day, it’s better than the alternatives I’ve tried, and it gets the job done. But man, it’s just never easy or fun to use.

It’s great that SketchUp came to iPad but it is impossible to use with pencil, very unintuitive and finicky, and even if you learn the new way to use the tools it’s a pain to draw anything but the most basic things. Some tools are tap, some tools are hold, half the time you don’t know what the next step is for the tool you’re using, half the time the tool workflow ends by touching with a finger or the pencil hovering near the wrong thing, it’s insane. Then the tooltip menu to enter dimensions follows the pencil on hover, meaning you can’t use it because it keeps shifting and shaking. It’s ridiculous, I don’t think anybody in this company has actually tried to use this app. Am I using it incorrectly? Probably! Are the help videos or documentation useful? Not at all! They describe trivial steps and don’t clarify anything that helps make this usable. Forget it if you’re a power user looking for precision, your best bet is to get a mouse and keyboard for the iPad, which means just keep using it on your laptop…
