I remember using those pre-cloud versions. I loved them. Sketchup was so intuitive (as a 3D modelling noob) it was ridiculous. My tool of choice for making 3D levels for my various OpenGL projects.
I tried to do some rudimentary modelling with modern day Blender and failed. Itβs quite the juggernaut to learn.
What software today do people recommend as an alternative to Sketchup? Is the cloud version any good?

onshape (web; free to use unless you want to protect your designs) and fusion (autodesk; free license available) are both really popular right now. they work differently than sketchup. i never really made friends with sketchup but the parametric modeling system used in fusion and onshape clicked with me and i really enjoy using them.
I remember running Sketchup for the first time. I had zero experience but in less than 20 minutes I was drawing large complicated machinery, tractors, buildings.
They made a 3d drawing application without a learning curve O_O
