SketchUp Studio is an advanced 3D modeling and visualization software solution designed for professional architectural, engineering, interior design, and construction workflows. It combines SketchUp's powerful 3D modeling and 2D documentation tools with Revit Importer, Scan Essentials, and V-Ray for SketchUp. Users can import Revit models, create accurate designs from point-cloud data, and produce high-quality photorealistic renderings, animations, and 360-degree panoramas. With cloud collaboration, file sharing, and professional presentation tools, SketchUp Studio helps teams streamline design development and communicate project ideas effectively.
Advanced 3D Modeling: Create accurate architectural, interior, and construction models.
Revit Importer: Import Revit models into SketchUp for improved interoperability and design collaboration.
Scan Essentials: Import, view, and model directly from 3D point-cloud data captured by scanners, LiDAR, drones, and photogrammetry.
V-Ray for SketchUp: Create photorealistic renderings and real-time visualizations.
Animation and Panoramas: Produce rendered animations and 360-degree panoramas for immersive presentations.
LayOut: Generate professional 2D drawings and documentation from 3D models.
Trimble Connect: Store, share, and collaborate on projects using cloud-based tools.
Extension Warehouse: Extend modeling capabilities with compatible third-party extensions.
SketchUp for Desktop and Web: Access desktop modeling and browser-based design tools included with the subscription.
Trimble Site Contractor: Support workflows that transfer 3D designs to field layout and construction processes.
Operating System
Windows 11, 64-bit. SketchUp Studio's Windows desktop workflow is required for its advanced Studio tools.
Processor
2 GHz or faster processor recommended.
RAM
At least 8 GB for SketchUp; 16 GB recommended for V-Ray. More memory may be needed for complex models and rendering.
Graphics Card
A dedicated GPU with at least 8 GB VRAM is recommended for SketchUp. For advanced scenes using PBR textures, ambient occlusion, and image-based lighting, 32 GB VRAM is recommended. V-Ray requires DirectX 11 or 12 and Shader Model 5.0 support.
Storage
At least 6 GB of available disk space for SketchUp, plus at least 2 GB for V-Ray. Additional space is recommended for project files, textures, and rendered outputs.
