SketchUp
Architectural modeling software
SketchUp is 3D modeling software designed for architectural, interior design, and construction visualization.
Known for its intuitive interface, it lets users create buildings, furniture, and landscapes without advanced CAD training.
The free web version serves hobbyists; the paid Pro version targets professionals.
I mocked up the kitchen renovation in SketchUp.
