Posting a few images generated in Sketchup. There was some discussion on one of the VW mailing lists regarding SketchUp and some felt it isn't capable of anything but very simple tasks.

I disagree. It is a quick modeling and rendering tool. Sure, VectorWorks may have more power but sometimes that power comes at a price. That price is usually speed.

The model in these images is completely drawn to scale. I find it takes me at least half the time to create a SketchUp model as the same task would take in VectorWorks.
