What is SketchUp?

SketchUp is a 3D modeling application from Trimble used across architecture, interior design, construction, and product design. Its signature push and pull tool lets users turn simple 2D shapes into 3D forms quickly, and the software is known for a beginner-friendly interface backed by the 3D Warehouse, a library of millions of pre-built models and materials that speeds up design work.

SketchUp is available on web, iPad, and desktop, with plans ranging from lightweight modeling to full professional workflows. Higher tiers add LayOut for 2D documentation, PreDesign for climate analysis, point cloud modeling, a Revit importer, and bundled V-Ray rendering. Over 1,000 extensions let studios tailor the software to structural, MEP, landscaping, and other specialized workflows.
