SketchUp Pro

Professional software for desktop

Imagine, design and elaborate in the most advanced 3D design software. SketchUp for Desktop gives you all the tools to make your design a success. Work out the design in SketchUp and present the model in LayOut.

Drawing tools

Use SketchUp's tools like rectangle i.c.m. push-pull and create your model in a snap. Besides innovative drawing tools, you also have the pencil to draw lines the old-fashioned way. This is mainly used to work out and display detail in the model. Be it straight lines or free forms, SketchUp can do it all.

Visualization

Take your SketchUp model to the next level and use photorealistic materials and environments.

LayOut

Create views and cuts and turn your model into a professional drawing. Export the saved scenes to LayOut and add text and dimensions to your presentation. Then choose a style to give your drawing its own atmosphere, or create sun studies. It's all possible with SketchUp for Desktop.

3D Warehouse

Take advantage of the largest free online library. Search and find countless 3D models and materials in this library. Use AI to find the part you need in your model even faster. Drag an image of the part into the search bar and SketchUp does the rest for you.

Trimble Connect

SketchUp for Desktop also has full Trimble Connect integration. This allows you to easily open and save files directly into Trimble Connect. You can share your files with others and it is possible to open your project in SketchUp for iPad. In addition, SketchUp for Desktop now has the ability to share your model with others online via Link Sharing.

The new generation of visualization

SketchUp 2025 contains new visualization tools and support that speed up the design process and reduce time for post-processing.

Photorealistic materials

Take SketchUp to the next level and add photorealistic materials to your model. You can create your own materials or load them directly from the Content Library via 3D warehouse and apply them to your model.

Content Library

Open the SketchUp Content Library and choose a realistic material and place it directly in your model.

In addition to these realistic materials, this library also contains configurable objects (Live Components).

This library is only accessible to users with a valid SketchUp license.

Realistic environment

In addition to your model, give the environment a realistic appearance and bring the model to life.

Improved IFC

Work effortlessly with your BIM partners and import an IFC file while retaining all the data and structure of the model. Check and update your model and share it again with the updated IFC export. With the latest IFC functions in SketchUp, you can prevent data loss and maintain a reliable SketchUp and IFC model.

Improvements to Layout

The familiar tools in LayOut have been improved and give you more control and precision. This improves the workflow.
