Does SketchUp influence your designs?

Posted by Craig McGibbon on March 13, 2011 at 2:48pm in Design

Hi all,

In the last few months after the buzz on LJN l have started to use SketchUp to produce my garden designs; the professional output is impressive for clients, easy to modify and tweek without redrawing and the last client l sent the file too so they could have a spin around the design which they loved!

So l'm very much in favour of this free download but have noticed it has influenced my designs.  It's very easy to design in a very linear style or basic shapes and more difficult to create intricate shapes or curves.  Additional challenges occur if your site is on slope etc...

Do you feel these programs have influenced your designs?
