“Easy to use”
Pros
It is fairly easy to use and I really love how realistic the renders look. They are so lifelike that sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between our renders and a photograph.
Cons
Sometimes it can be slow especially when I am importing SketchUp models with a lot of detail.
