SketchUp is a deceptively simple, amazingly powerful tool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly and easily.
SketchUp was developed to combine the elegance and spontaneity of pencil sketching with the speed and flexibility of today's digital media.
Developed for the conceptual stages of design, this powerful yet easy-to-learn software allows for quick and easy 3D form creation,
the result is an interface that supports a dynamic, creative exploration of 3D form, material and light.
SketchUp combines a compact yet robust tool-set with an intelligent guidance system that streamlines the 3D drawing process.

Exclusive features let you focus on your creativity, not programming.
- Our Patented Push/Pull Tool.
Push/Pull, as the name implies, enables you to click on a shape and simply push or pull it to create your desired 3D geometry.
Much more than just an extrude tool, it allows you to create complex forms quickly and efficiently.
- "Sketchy" RenderingSometimes, when you're just working things out at the beginning of a new design,
too much precision in your drawings can be a bad thing, slowing down your thought process.
SketchUp's realtime renderer lets you visually "soften" your drawings with rendering effects like jitter lines, extended edges and dynamic profiles.
- Material Exploration The relationships between color, texture, form, and light are subtle and cannot simply be inferred from monochromatic models and paint samples.
That's why SketchUp makes it possible for you to experiment with color and texture directly on your model.
And for those who are more technically savvy, the surface area of any material is always available for material quantity management and cost estimates.
- Accurate Realtime ShadowsWhen designing outdoor structures, SketchUp's real-time shadow casting lets you see exactly where the sun falls as you model,
allowing unprecedented dynamic solar planning.
