I have minimal knowledge of SketchUp, but even I can see how you discredit this program with your deliberately clumsy examples. That means your comparison is worthless!
It’s funny how in another video you talk about the usability of a tablet for CAD modeling. Sitting in front of the TV or lying on the bed? It’s ridiculous! If you want to do your job quickly and well – you need SpaceMouse, mice and proper workstation. And what you do is pampering and show-off.

Shapr and an ipad made all the difference for me actually doing a model. SketchUp just never worked for me. Shapr is rendering in different materials now too which is cool.
I absolutely love your stuff on Shapr3D. I have used Sketchup but personally did not find it very intuitive. Maybe that is just my age. I really appreciate you doing the video on wood working joints, it was the clincher for me switching to Shapr3D. I have a wood working CNC machine on order to help me accelerate and broaden my wood working offerings. The machine is an Infinity One Elite Journeyman. The Manufacturer has a lot of videos on how to do projects on the equipment and always references the fact that he uses Shapr3D. That is what made me look at your site and then after seeing your extremely helpful demonstrations I was hooked. I have of course subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the great content. Cheers John
I found your comparison between the two products very educational and beneficial and helping me decide which one to go with in the near future
You do not use the push/pull tool in sketch-up to lengthen/shorten a plane that is not perpendicular to the x, y, z axes (red, green, blue axes) – highlight the perimeter of the non-perpendicular plane and use the <move> tool to move the highlighted perimeter of said plane – everything attached to the perimeter (surface only) will follow. 1D lines make 2D planes, and stacking 2D planes (at the perimeters) makes 3D (hollow) objects. Hence, Sketch-up likes to build its 3D (hollow) objects by stacking/unstacking 2D plane-perimeters, and because 2D planes must have a perimeter you <move> (stack/unstack) your 2D plane-perimeters by highlighting and moving the 2D perimeters. I am guessing here, but the likely reason Sketch-up uses 2D plane-perimeters to make 3D hollow objects is to minimize files sizes (bytes). A hollow 3D cube comprised of six infinitely thin 2D surfaces uses 99.9% less storage capacity and cpu’s than a completely dense one.
Thank you for this video!!!!!!!
Would be better if you compare it with Sketchup for iPad
Yikes… it doesn’t look like there’s a way to import Sketchup into Shapr3D. That’s a show stopper for me… I have a large library of common components that I’ve built in Sketchup. I know DXF, etc could be used as a go-between, but I would lose all of my groupings of sub-components.
Thanks for the walkthrough. I just started using Shapr3D after using Sketchup for over a decade and am trying to get familiar with it. I appreciate the video.
And what do you think about WOODEXPERT?
and thats why the app is very expensive!
I love shapr3d…almost everything I want 🤣 sketchup 😮💨😮💨😮💨 and I use autocad in the past…but so many option and guide directly from shapr3d
Great video and quite a rare find for a fellow furniture designer maker! Subscribed!
U simply doesnt get sponsored in comparison video
That not comparasion anymore
9:20 – he missed a big thing here. You can seled the FACE of the 45 degree angle and use the MOVE tool to move it in and out. No hack or tricks to get it to work and it’s bloody easy.. thumbs down on this missup
HI from Spain. Thanks for this comparation. I was just wondering, are you working for a manufacturing furniture’s company? Can I ask you for the brand? KR.
Love the videos! I have a question about downloadable 3d files. I know SketchUp has available files for laying out your woodshop, with scale models of real tools. Im probably going with Shapr3D for furniture design but wondered if I can use it to layout my future shop upgrades.
Hi. The pencil you use doesn’t look like an Apple pencil …. what is it, I am looking for an affordable pencil that works with Shapr. Thanks for you’re reply.
To me it’s the pricing model, I can’t justify paying that per month, they need a once off pricing and maybe make you pay to upgrade it
can you do a cut list form this also can it do interior design loved your video
Great video! I’m a little late to the party, since I *JUST* heard of Shapr3D. Looks like they’ve increased their price, though, so it’s now the same price (per year) as Sketchup Pro. I wish it were possible to merge parts of these two programs. The modeling looks great on Shapr3D, but I’ve come to rely too much on extensions like OpenCutList in Sketchup. Incidentally (and someone else may have mentioned this in another comment)… the part where you said it’s difficult to resize the piece with the 45° bevel cut in Sketchup…. would actually be really easy: just select the four lines that make up the end of the piece, and then use the Move tool to shorten/lengthen the piece as needed. It’ll preserve the angle.
Love this how you went in details on the two programs, exactly what I’ve been looking for.
What an excellent review, well done. I want to create models for 3D printing various parts. What would you recommend? I have some Sketchup experience but found it frustrating in some ways.
I wish they didn’t do the subscription model. I don’t know if I’ll buy them because of this. I don’t like the idea of renting their program.
Which monitor do you have? That thing is nice
Thanks for this great help on the two of these
Hi Do you have a video how to convert 2D images to 3D?
im usig sketchup 8 and iˇve made a lot ´´mini´´ ‘cities for my friend who is making city models for our school
In the area of 3D graphics social media would only be talking about Shapr3D if there was a more accessible version for amateur users.
Pencil ? Where can I buy it?
Nice video, very informative. If I designed a ski rack in Shapr3D and then wanted to show it rendered with actual skis. Would I have to create the skis as well, or does Shapr3D have a sort of Library I can download incidentals from? Or even basic environments I can place my designed parts/products to display them in a more realistic way?
You are a spokesperson. You ignore the way SketchUp work to sell your product. So much for impartiality.
What an absolutely horrible interface. I’m guessing this is another sponsored video, like the rest I have seen for this program.
Hi Alex, me again (GreyDesignwoodworking) Certainly feels like Shap3r3D is the design software of choice for modelling. I have 20 years experience in AutoCAD so you’d have thought i would just design my projects in that… Shap3r looks to me as though it would be easier and quicker. As for sketchup; I found that programme infuriating, having to make components and the if there was a change in dimensions having to redraw it. Anyway, as always. You ar great at what you do. I have nearly caught up with your back catalogue of content 🙂
Im from Shapr3d but looking at Sketchup for its "wrap" features which shapr3d doesn’t have.
i’ve been ssing around on a friends soft soft for years, finally bought it. I found your videos and instantly subscribed and have been
Is it possible to do everything nessecery to do a cnc project on tablet?
Cad,cam and cnc?
You got me at 10:00 mark, sketch up is not my option!! 🙏😌
Is there any plugin or workaround to be able to edit multiple objects at the same time? The feature to edit a component and all of it’s copies is what I like most from Sketchup.
Love your vids, very simple and basic comparisons
I’ll start with that I pay for Shapr3d and Sketchup and am not paid by either one like this guy in the video. He does have a lot of great videos for shapr3d though, but clearly biased.
Sketchup is overwhelming at first but it also wasn’t designed for the ipad. The simplicity of Shapr3d is amazing, virtually no learning curve, and it’s so easy to sit and design with the pencil.
Now I use both for woodworking, as a hobbyist mostly, and often in conjunction when I’ve done bigger projects like my kitchen. I’ve spent a decent amount of time on both now and there is a reason you never see actual woodworkers using Shapr3d but instead using Sketchup. THE CUTLIST capability on sketchup, without it shaprd3d doesn’t cut it (see what i did there) leaving it as concept drawings! **talking about woodworking here** Until the create that function sketchup will always be the best for woodworking and now they have an app for the ipad (haven’t tried it).
Shapr3d is best used for 3d printers and/or my Shapeoko CNC router; where high precision really maters, CAM applications. Most casual woodworkers, like myself, just want straight lines, don’t need to spin a cabinet around to see if its perfect, and simply don’t need that high level of detail that Shapr3d offers nor want to drop 1k on an ipad and ipad pencil (I did though). I just tried the desktop version of Shapr3d and it’s a joke next to sketchup, if you have to use a laptop get the free 2017 version of sketchup. All that said, I use the free 2017 version of sketchup and it’s great.
Sketchup used to be great back when you could use extensions and off the desktop even with the free versions, before Trimble turned it into a cashgrab. I’ll keep rockin 2017 for as long as I can
Yo, thanks for the nFo. Thanks for the comparison, it’s useful. Peace.
what kind of pen is that ?
Watched this to see if there are any good alternatives to SketchUp. The way you tried to extend the surface in SketchUp at around 9:00 is completely wrong. Just select the edges and move them. It couldn’t be simpler. SketchUp is extremely easy to draw with and modify your drawings, especially if you use components. This does not give an accurate impressions of it’s simplicity.
¿How to compensate in Shapr3d the SketchUp flexometer tool ?, I have used that tool to make guide marks to help me in modeling.
