    Completely different scope. SketchUp is a general modeller with a hard surface / architecture focus while MakeHuman is strictly for creating realistic human models.

    Makehuman makes 3D human models only whereas sketchup is intended for 3D objects like furniture or buildings.

    LibreCAD is a 2D CAD software. Sketchup is a 3D software.

    Not 3D. Otherwise, fine program.

    Good 2D drawing, has isometrics as well, reads DXF but isn't an alternative to a 3D CAD software assembling blocks. FreeCAD is better but a difficult to make the parts.

    The manner in which you draw a shape, enter dimensions, and push/pull a flat plane shape are the most similar to the SketchUp workflow of any 3D/CAD program I have used.
