Is it advisable to make the detail in sketchUp or should be in autocad and the sketchUp is just for presentation only?

SketchUp has come a long way since its inception. 

Now with additional plugins SketchUp can be used for all purposes.

There is no other tool in industry that would help you build a quick presentation model other than SketchUp.

AutoCAD on the other hand has been used for such a long period that most people will not think twice while going for detailing.

If you make a good detailed model in SketchUp printing out all kind of details are more of a quick task.

AutoCAD has also grown into multiple branches that it has specialised software for each discipline now.

 

Choice is ours! :)

It depends, if the detail for presentation only you can make it with sketchup. If the details for somthing that will be fabricated for example the autocad is the best solution.
