SketchUp Studio
Everything you need for designing and presenting better projects.
SketchUp Studio is the easiest way to propel your project forward with confidence. SketchUp Studio will take you from complex scan data with Trimble Scan Essentials to 3D modeling with the familiar SketchUp tools. And with V-Ray's built-in photo rendering, you'll convince your (potential) clients with stunning visuals!

Video Card
* If you are looking for a new system or upgrade, please pay extra attention to the video card. We do recommend video cards with a nVidia RTX chip, preferably form the GeForce range. These cards support OpenGL very well and have qualitative drivers. OpenGL is the heart of the 3D view for SketchUp Pro. On-board video cards (soldered chipsets) are strongly discouraged! If you have any doubts about a new video card, please view this benchmark (preferably high-end).
System Check-Up Tool
In case of doubt about your system, you can download a special check-up tool here, which will test your system for the correct configuration.
Trimble Scan Essentials
Move quickly from complex scan data to a 3D proposal by importing point clouds from terrestrial surveys, mobile mapping, photogrammetry, lidar sensors, and drone shots. Don't waste time modeling contextual details, model directly on your point cloud using SketchUp's proprietary toolbox.


V-Ray - Top-class Rendering
With a SketchUp Studio Subscription you get access to the Render Module of V-Ray. V-Ray is a fast, high quality and very complete Render solution for SketchUp. It offers all the lighting and rendering tools you need to create professional, photorealistic images and animations. It will help you make better design decisions and excite your (potential) customers with true-to-life images of your 3D designs.
