I think you wrote some good interesting things here.ДЄfter posting my question last night, I downloaded the free software and I Now, having said all of that, I honestly don't understand why a firm that owns BIM software would use SketchUP to go through the DD phase of work only to start again once a design has been approved by the client(s). And, if nothing else, you can export your high-dollar BIM work to the free SketchUP so you can take advantage of its superior 'Visual Styles' (which Revit doesn't even offer and ACA can't match). The presentation tools, alone, will make you start to question other products.

It is well worth the time because, quite frankly, it's fun - far more fun than AutoCAD Architecture or Revit. You should definitely download the free version and spend a couple of hours playing with it.

With Dynamic Components and emerging plug-ins like, for architecture, SketchUP Pro appears like a product that could eventually challenge current BIM offerings. These days I am encountering small residential (mostly one person) offices that have dumped AutoCAD or AutoCAD Lt and are doing everything with SketchUP. Now, after that bit of rambling, I find it interesting to learn that more and more AEC firms are using/requiring SketchUP when there are several BIM products on the market that can do so much more and far more productively. Autodesk, however, looked farther out and found another product to imbibe: Revit. 'Autodesk Attention Deficit Disorder' or 'It's not making us money so let's dump it'). It actually had a far superior GUI but as is often the case with Autodesk, there was no steam behind it (yet another victim of A.A.D.D. Autodesk attempted to compete by purchasing a French product that they included with Architectural Desktop I believe it was called 'Architectural Studio'. I believe SketchUP came out in 2000 or early 2001. It is totally enigmatic isn't it? And then again, perhaps it totally makes sense and questions the logic of products that cost four or five thousand dollars.
