Google SketchUp? any opinions

(OP)
  I use solidworks for everything. I'm starting to see a need to insert my designs into a photo to sale to clients. Most of my friend that do this use Google sketch and skin it. My designs are mechanical designed, does anyone use sketch up and can give me limitations on it?

RE: Google SketchUp? any opinions

I use it for quick projects and simple animations. Google has a Free Version for download, give it a try. I don't know if the free version will import or export as many file types as the Pro version. I purchased SketchUP a few years ago, before Google took over, and the version I use will import and export the files in the attachments.

Dassault has their own version of this kind of program.  Haven't tried it, but maybe it may be more usable for SW users.
