Hard for me to give a price, but you could work it out by the number of projects users have on average compared to professionals. Yes I mentioned above a pay per project may be good. Everything is subscription based these days instead of a purchase price so it’s not feasible to subscribe to everything unless it makes you money back or you use it all the time. I’ve got no problem paying a home user price for software but it’s not offered. Pay when you need it - subscribe one month then cancel?Īlternate software? Sketchup for iPad is less than half price of this (but more complicated to use in my opinion) So what do you hobbyists do to get around this? It’s a great tool for hobbyists/diy but missing a plan. My 9yr old son wants a 3D printer but I guess he won’t be able to export the designs? The price is aimed at professionals who can make the money back.Īs a hobbyist who just plans a couple of diy projects at home per year I can’t justify the cost. I would also like to plan a new loft conversion we have to view in my VR but I guess I won’t be able to export it. I can’t render nor have more than 2 projects. I’ve used it to plan my new decking DIY project.īut there are limitations in the free plan of course. But now I’ve an iPad I wanted to use that with pencil instead. I used to use SketchUp Free on the Mac and it’s great.
