SketchUp is the world’s most popular 3D modeling tool for architecture, interior design and construction — now with AI-assisted design features.
SktchUp’s push-pull simplicity made 3D modeling accessible to millions of architects, designers and makers. It covers concept modeling, interior layouts, construction documentation and a vast 3D Warehouse of ready models. AI features accelerate visualization and rendering workflows, and extensions add photorealistic rendering, analysis and fabrication output. From homeowners planning a kitchen to firms delivering buildings, it is the industry’s shared modeling language.
SketchUp offers a free web version for personal use; paid plans add professional features, LayOut and support.
Architects, interior designers, builders and hobbyists who model in 3D for design, planning and communication.
Architects mass-model building concepts quickly, and interior designers plan layouts with real product models from the Warehouse. Makers design furniture with cut lists for the shop.
Start with the free web version, push-pull your first 3D shape and pull a model from 3D Warehouse to see the workflow.
Yes — a free web version exists for personal projects; professional use requires a subscription.
Yes — a Ruby API and extensions ecosystem support automation and custom tools.
Versus Revit, SketchUp is faster for concept design; versus Blender it is far easier to learn for architecture workflows.
Yes, its furniture libraries and rendering extensions make it a staple for interior design visualization.
LayOut converts models into dimensioned documentation sets for permit and construction use.
Yes — the push-pull modeling approach is famously approachable, and the community plus Warehouse provide endless examples to learn from.
Import and export cover common CAD, image and 3D formats including DWG, DXF, IFC, OBJ and more for interoperability.
Yes — the iPad app brings sketch-based modeling to tablet workflows, useful for on-site design and client presentations.
Millions of users plus a vast 3D Warehouse of shared models make learning resources and ready-made assets nearly inexhaustible.
