SketchUp
3D modeling software
Definition
Bring your sketches to life:From schematic design to construction documentation, SketchUp’s 3D architectural design software gets the (whole) job done.Visualize in no time:SketchUp is designed to behave like your hand — more like a pencil than complicated 3D modeling software. SketchUp gets out of your way so you can draw whatever you can imagine, efficiently. Throughout the design-build process, SketchUp helps you analyze problems and get the project under construction.Create construction documents:SketchUp isn’t just for 3D modeling — it’s also great for communicating your designs in 2D. Draw plans, elevations, sections, build details, and finish it off with your title blocks. SketchUp is remarkably accurate, so you can be sure that anyone working on the project will have the information they need to get the job done. The best part: when your model changes, so does your document. Simple.Present to impress:Tell a richer story with your model using animations, images, and videos. Creat
