What is SketchUp?

SketchUp is a deceptively simple, amazingly powerful tool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly and easily. SketchUp was developed to combine the elegance and spontaneity of pencil sketching with the speed and flexibility of todays digital media.
Available in English, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Español.

Why Buy Sketchup Pro

Note: SketchUp Make is a free version of SketchUp, for non-commercial use ONLY. If you are using SketchUp commercially, you will need to purchase a licence of SketchUp Pro to be compliant.



Developed for the conceptual stages of design, this powerful yet easy-to-learn software allows for quick and easy 3D form creation - the result is an interface that supports a dynamic, creative exploration of 3D form, material and light.

SketchUp Pro combines a compact yet robust tool-set with an intelligent guidance system that streamlines the 3D drawing process.

Who uses SketchUp Pro? Everyone.

Hundreds of thousands of professionals in architecture, construction, engineering, commercial interiors, light construction, landscape architecture, kitchen & bath design, urban planning, game design, film & stage, woodworking and plenty of other fields use SketchUp Pro every day. Its the sensible alternative to complicated, expensive CAD software.
Many architects use Sketchup in combination with Archicad, VectorWorks and Autocad Lt.

A smarter way to think about 3D modeling

SketchUp Pro is like a pencil with superpowers. Start by drawing lines and shapes. Push and pull surfaces to turn them into 3D forms. Stretch, copy, rotate and paint to make anything you like. More advanced? Start modeling from CAD and terrain data, photographs or even hand sketches. Build models with custom behaviors and attributes. SketchUp Pro is as simple and as powerful as you want it to be.

Turn your models into drawings with LayOut

LayOut is an extra application that comes with SketchUp Pro allowing you to create professional presentations of your SketchUp Pro models in an instant. With LayOut you can place SketchUp Pro models in multiple views on a template and provide graphic elements such as titles, arrows, dimensions, logos and photos for printing or screen presentations. LayOut brings the “feel” of SketchUp into 2D space in an incomparably beautiful way.

At some point in every project, you need to produce a set of drawings that shows your model: plans, sections, elevations, perspectives. LayOut in SketchUp Pro lets you add model views to pages, choose drawing scales, adjust line weights and add dimensions, callouts and graphics. Changes to your model are reflected automatically in LayOut. When its time, export PDFs, images and CAD files.

3D Warehouse

3D Warehouse contains millions of models created in SketchUp that you can import straight into your own model. Need an oven for the kitchen you’re designing? A car for your driveway? A rhino for your zoo? Find it all in 3D Warehouse, the world’s biggest library of free 3D models. You can also find a model from a trusted manufacturer. With manufacturer partners like Herman Miller, Formica, Thermador and many others, 3D Warehouse is the best place to find a model of a specific, real-world object.

BIM ready, from the first click

Where does building information modeling begin? In SketchUp Pro, start by tagging groups and components with industry standard classification types. Then, geo-locate your model for shadow studies and site context. Continue on, further enriching components with data attributes or programming functions. Build smart spreadsheet reports, or wrap up your entire project in a tidy IFC file, ready for further modeling and analysis with the next instrument in your BIM tool box..

A world of context—literally

In about two minutes, you can choose a section of the world to bring into your SketchUp Pro model—up to a square kilometer at a time. For free, youll get aerial imagery, a 3D terrain model and lat-long data to produce accurate shadow studies. From there, you can import pre-modeled buildings for site context and use Google Maps Street View imagery to model anything else you need.

A place for everything and everything in its place

Your mother always told you that the key to 3D modeling success was tidiness and organization. Make your models easy to work on and easy to present. Use groups and components to divvy up your geometry into logical chunks. Layers come in handy for separating big pieces of your model, and the Outliner is a way to see everything at once.

SketchUp LayOut

Eventually, some 3D models grow up to become professional 2D drawing sets. LayOut in SketchUp Pro helps you showcase your models and create drawings you'll be proud of.

LayOut is used for generating presentation documents. With LayOut, you're equipped for page design, drafting, vector illustration and slide presentations: everything you need to explain everything.



After you insert a SketchUp models into a LayOut document, you can design the document to highlight your 3D model's best features. If you ever need to change or update your original SketchUp model, you can update the model in LayOut so that all the details are synched automatically.

Model and Document

With LayOut, insert SketchUp model views wherever you want in your document. These "viewports" are living, breathing views of your project. When your model changes, all of your viewports update too.

Make beautiful drawings

LayOut brings the feel of SketchUp into 2D space in an incomparably beautiful way. Line work, shadows, textures, text, dimensions, title blocks: all exactly the way you want.

Intuitive vector drawing

LayOut's drawing tools are just like SketchUp's: simple, smart, and fun. And everything you draw is vector smart, so scaling and rotating can be done with the utmost precision.

Dimension, detail, explain

Use dimensioning tools that snap to the edges of SketchUp models and quickly set the format, scale, and precision of displayed measurements

Whats New in Sketchup?

Named Sections

Just like components, section planes have names and symbols, making them easy to find, organize, and edit in Outliner. Now, it's easy to access and manage sections whenever you need to.

SketchUp - Filled Section Cuts

Filled Section Cuts are now baked into SketchUp Pro. Select a color for your fills via the Styles dialogue and bake them into templates.

SketchUp - Fast Sections

Fast Sections SketchUp features improved performance for models that use section planes to hide large amounts of geometry. The more geometry you section off, the more youll benefit!

Scaled Vector Drawing

Need to add linework thats not in your model? Create a scaled drawing in LayOut and sketch over a 3D model to flesh out your project. Or draw from details to scale from scratch directly in LayOut.

DWG Import

Import a DWG into LayOut and find illustrations already scaled to paper size. Now SketchUp projects can live side by side with CAD linework and take advantage of DWG libraries everywhere. LayOut A+: plays well with others.

Drawing Better

Inferencing, chamfering and filleting, arcs, offset arrays, selections: LayOut is even better at everything you need to draw details or create beautiful illustrations at scale.

Got BIM? Advanced Attributes

SketchUp now features Advanced Attribute fields for a components Price, Size, URL, Type, Status, and Owner. So now it's even easier to embed projects with useful information.

SketchUp - Aggregated Reports

Generate Report now aggregates component data so you can do things like configure reports to sum parts and quantities for schedules and cutlists, or create detailed estimates by adding up prices by layer. Its time to crunch model data!

SketchUp - IFC Import/Export

BIM works best when information moves freely between applications. You can rely on IFC in SketchUp to transfer the attributes you assign and manipulate in projects.

SketchUp

With the release of SketchUp 2023 weve removed support for MacOS 10.13 (High Sierra) as well as Windows 7 and 8. We have added support for MacOS 11.0 (Big Sur).
