If you don't know the difference between drawing software and CAD
software, you don't need CAD.

SketchUp is actually "3D modeling software", not a "drawing package".

It is true that SketchUp is not "CAD" in the traditional sense, but
SketchUp is much easier to use for what it does _using faces and edges
to model in three dimensions_- than a traditional CAD program.

They both have their strong points and, as with any tool, the choice and
use depends upon the job.
