Software
SketchUp
https://www.sketchup.com
SketchUp is a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) tool that is easily accessible to students starting their first designs in CAD software. It is easy to learn, navigate and draw in. The browser-based version is free and accessible regardless of computer platform. I have found that complicated drawings with lots of components seem to cause the program to struggle a bit, so I still utilize the SketchUp Make version, which runs locally on my computer. My team visualizes all of our drama production scenic designs in SketchUp, as well as creating construction drawings that we can give to our students crew to build.
