Create visualizations that move your design forward
Win work, inspire stakeholders, and find project alignment with help from SketchUp.
Using SketchUp for visualization
Explore your creativity
Ideate and iterate with visuals to get a clear picture of your design choices — and unveil surprising possibilities.
Jump-start productivity
Get designing fast with AI-driven, time-saving solutions that help you zoom from the first sketch to the final design.
Craft a compelling
design story
Clear visualizations move your project from design to done by maintaining the alignment needed to keep work flowing.
Professional, robust, and accurate.
Visualize your project quickly and clearly in 3D with SketchUp for Desktop, our most popular 3D modeler.
John Clemons,
Preconstruction Manager,
Monteith Construction Corp.
“We used my SketchUp model in a presentation with a client, and it was the best thing ever. They loved being able to see exactly what they were getting. We had total buy-in from the time they accepted our proposal to the construction of the building.”
Enhanced realism
Add a new level of depth to your 3D models with the click of a button when you use Ambient Occlusion.
Joe C.,
Architect
“Ambient Occlusion is the single most exciting feature in recent years! Most of my models are achromatic, so this really makes them pop, particularly architectural interiors.”
Breathtaking visuals in seconds
Explore design concepts through AI-generated imagery with Diffusion for quick iteration and ideation.
Daniel Tal,
Digital Studio Manager, Confluence
“SketchUp combined with Diffusion is a full cycle design tool, not just rendering. For example, using this for exterior rendering is amazing. I knew this would be possible, but I expected it in 10 years.”
Integrated rendering engine
Use the combined power of V-Ray and SketchUp to create photorealistic renderings that bring your design vision into reality.
Matthew Valero,
Registered Architect,
Director of Visualization at DBVW
“I was inside SketchUp and it was just a couple of little settings, I clicked that render button for V-Ray, and I was totally blown away by the realism. Being able to render at this quality in SketchUp was another moment for me where I thought there’s no turning back to other tools.”
