"requires a bit of reading to use"
Version: Google SketchUp 8.0.4811
Pros
can do modelling
Cons
as a cad app was not particularly intuitive or functional
Summary
if one wants a cad app then look elsewhere...but if one wants a visual view of an object and is prepared to invest the time into learning the application then it might be useful.

"great program, useful, tutorials are welcome and easy"
Version: Google SketchUp 8.0.4811

program downloads, installs as should, great for first time user of such a program, as tutorials are available, easy to find and use, and using program with that guidance is a snap. How every program should be offered for use, not assuming that all will be self-evident, making possible for anyone to get started
Cons
none i have found worth mentioning
Summary

"Great for beginners! Takes a little practice though."
Version: Google SketchUp 8.0.4811
Pros
Its free and you can always find helpful video tutorials online (google SketchUp site and Youtube).
Its fun and easy to use once you know what the tools do and how to use them.Cons
It doesn't seem to be able to export images to order programs.
Some features of the move tool are hard to use (maybe it's just me and I need more practice)Summary
It's great! Try it! Go ahead and experiment on new stuff.

"Fiddly and hard to understand"
Version: Google SketchUp 8.0.4811
Pros
Free, powerful, fast
Cons
Fiddly to use and hard to understand
Summary
I couldn't get my head around this application after giving it a good go and watching the tutorials. Particular issues were that in designing a room, you design the outers walls and ceiling but then it's hard to work inside the room because you can have only one section plane allowing you to see inside one wall only. The rotate protractor is hard to position and use
-

Cons
A bit of a learning curve to be precise but worth the time spent
Summary
Hard to believe such a great product is freeware
