FreeCAD VS SketchUp
Is FreeCAD a good alternative to SketchUp?Comments about FreeCAD as an Alternative to SketchUp
Comment summary: SketchUp is praised for its ease of use, making it ideal for quick 3D drawings. However, it is not suitable for detailed blueprints or parametric modeling, unlike FreeCAD. Users acknowledge FreeCAD's capabilities in creating professional mechanical designs, despite its steep learning curve and lack of intuitiveness compared to SketchUp. Some comments highlight the difficulty in comparing these tools as they serve different purposes and audiences.FreeCAD is a rich program for mechanical components or structures. There is more of a learning curve than Sketchup but can create professional drawings, analysis, simulation, assemblies, and more.
3Love this software for 3d printing.
6ph softSketchup is for quick drawing, to think in 3D. Not for blueprints or super accurate things. Freecad can resolve constraints but is anything but intuitive of fast. They can't be compared.
5FreeCAD is a lot more difficult to use
5I use both and they are not alternatives. Sktechup excels at drawing things realtime (to think in 3D). Freecad is cumbersome for that. Sketchup cannot do easily parametric modelling (with constraints, etc) or print blueprints. It only deals with triangles. Sketchup is easy to learn while Freecad has a steep learning curve.

Is LibreCAD a good alternative to SketchUp?Comments about LibreCAD as an Alternative to SketchUp
LibreCAD is a 2D CAD software. Sketchup is a 3D software.
36Not 3D. Otherwise, fine program.
6Good 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.
2LibreCAD is only a 2D CAD software

Comments about Sweet Home 3D as an Alternative to SketchUp
If you are looking for something related to home design, SweetHome3D is an excellent solution. But it is not a general purpose cad suite.
Very easy to learn. Has a huge library of "furniture" and other assets developed and shared by users. Has 3D photo's and video virtual tours. May not be that great for detailed framing plans and elevations.
Sketchup is far more generic and can be used for creating 3D printing models. Sweet Home 3D is a targeted application designed for laying out house designs.
Its not general purpose, its to specific to be an alternative to virtually any other CAD program
Not a general purpose CAD program
