Model.

Create anything, fast — and with almost no effort. Your modern-day replacement for a pencil and a blank sheet of paper.

Create anything, effortlessly Go from a rough idea to a full 3D model in minutes, not hours. No steep learning curve, no complicated setup — just push, pull, and your idea takes shape.

Visualize.

Shape the future with intuitive, professional 3D design software that helps you visualize, communicate, and realize your ideas.

Visualize in no time SketchUp is designed to behave like your hand — more like a pencil than complicated 3D modeling software. Draw whatever you can imagine, efficiently.

Document.

From model to construction set — every drawing stays connected to the model behind it.

Create construction documents Communicate your designs in 2D accurately. Draw plans, elevations, sections, and details. The best part: when your model changes, so do your documents. Simple.

Present.

Turn a model into a story that wins the room — and the project.

Present to impress From detailed line drawings to photorealistic visuals, immerse clients in their future space with true-to-life materiality and win more work. Share and gather feedback with clients easily thanks to in-app commenting and real-time viewing.
