I've found Sketchup to be perfect for our needs. I'm usually doing low-cost solar pool heating system presentations, so speed is critical. 15-20 minutes is usually enough time for a great 5-page presentation in Sketchup Pro with Layout. On more complex roofs and for higher value projects, an hour may be required for a stellar proposal that blows away the competition.</span></p>
