    <description>&lt;P&gt;One other thing that we ran into when we did very detailed things in sketchUp to show clients. Clients get tunnel vision on one element that really has no bearing on the project and literally will care about nothing else but that one thing. Yes the drawings look great but I really find that on small projects it just causes more problems than it fixes at presentations. Maybe it's just me and my experiences.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Example: Let's say I do a nice detailed and maybe even I render it of a lobby of a community center. The township manager will be like it looks great but I really don't like those chairs. I'd say those are just example chairs. He says well I like it just don't use those chairs. I'd say those chairs don't even exist I made them up in my head and drew them. Two weeks later at a meeting 2 other people that have nothing else to contribute bring up that the township manager mentioned that he didn't want those chairs used and if we corrected that and found other chairs. Then a month later at a meeting maybe time tables are being set up and someone will be like lets move forward on this project but I just want to make sure the chair issue is resolved. /face palm&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We laugh about it all the time. I could paint the walls candy cane stripes in the mock up in those later meetings and the only thing they'd say is you haven't changed to other chairs yet once they get fixated on them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;That is why I try to keep it simple. The more detailed I seem to make mock ups the more people nitpick dumb stuff in them.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Does anyone use Sketchup along side autocad, from what Ive seen it would be good to show clients the paper drawings &amp;amp; a 3d model of the work&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Instead of Sketchup, have you had a look at Inventor, which is another Autodesk product?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>SKETCHUP PRO (costs money every year as a subscription, not the freebie) and AutoCAD work well together (you need to save your files down to 2013DWG file format for the transfer), if you simply cannot 3D model from inside AutoCAD for whatever reason and chose to ignore that ability.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;We use sketchup just to show clients a few things. Say we are doing a fire station and it's being built already. The client wants to get a sign for the front. I might draw a very basic shell of the building in sketchup and use that to put some different sign options on. That way the client can see how different sizes look and I'll throw some brick or whatever textures on the building that belong on it. They can get an idea of how the sign will look with what is actually on the building. They do play pretty well together but I try only to use sketchup for some basic things probably because although it is a neat software, I just hate using it for anything detailed. We are doing mostly everything in autocad in 2d also so occasionally if I need something 3d I'll mock it up in sketchup.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Autodesk has Formit that is their answer to sketchup. I've played with it a tiny bit. It's pretty close to sketchup, but more things are built in, instead of you needing to get a extension for everything you want to do.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
