At this rate with how bad the web version is, I’m even struggling to justify renewing my “Go” subscription when the time comes later this year. I know I could fork out an extra couple hundred bucks a year for the Pro subscription to get access to the desktop app, however as a hobbyist I have no use for any of the “pro” features so I cannot justify that extra cost. How does this behaviour pass UAT?!Īs a web developer by trade, IMO Sketchup is not a tool that should be bound to the web browser. Even the “Allow cookies” message comes up every single time. search for something, choose a model, open 3d Warehouse again to try a different model but now my search is gone and I have to start again. Every time you open it it starts from scratch. The 3d Warehouse “portal” (I guess you’d call it) is next to useless.If I sleep my machine or don’t go back to the tab for a few hours, when I do I need to refresh the app (which takes you back home) to get it going again. I can’t just leave a model open in the background.just today I toggled the guides visibility… “Ah snap!” The app will randomly crash the tab when using different controls in the sidebar.I never had performance issues like this with even very complex models on the desktop version 15 years ago. My computer is no slouch - a 2021 M1 Pro MBP with Google Chrome (always up to date), but it routinely locks up for 10+ seconds at a time when there’s a “complex” model in my project that I dare try to move or rotate.
Some of the main gripes I’ve had include: It’s slow, buggy and really frustrating to use especially in regards to 3d Warehouse and cloud storage. Given how much I’ve used Sketchup through the years and have certainly got value from the product personally, I had no hesitation in paying for a subscription to get the extra features over the free version.Īfter six months or so of using the web version, I am so dissapointed at how terrible it is and how much of a backward step it is in terms of usability, flexibility and reliability. Up until about six months ago I was using Sketchup Make 2017, however when I got a new laptop and could no longer download the 2017 version, I decided to finally subscribe to the “Go” plan with access to the web version. I have been using Sketchup for 15+ years (from the days of Google) non-professionally for various hobby, woodworking and home renovation projects.
