SketchUp — AI for Construction & Civil Engineering Excellence

When you manage civil engineering, architecture, or construction projects, you need an accessible path from initial concept to detailed documentation. SketchUp provides a flexible environment where you can build precise 3D models and generate 2D construction documents using LayOut. Instead of wrestling with overly rigid interfaces, you can sketch ideas rapidly, test site conditions, and collaborate with team members through Trimble Connect. Whether you work on a tablet in the field or a desktop workstation in the office, the platform scales to your project requirements. You can pull pre-built assets from 3D Warehouse to speed up conceptual design, or tap into over 1,000 extensions to tailor your workflow for specific structural or aesthetic tasks. While advanced BIM capabilities and point cloud workflows are restricted to Windows users and higher subscription tiers, the core toolset delivers reliable performance for daily design work. By integrating climate insights via PreDesign and connecting directly to field solutions like Trimble Siteworks, SketchUp helps you minimize rework, explore projects before building, and maintain a single source of truth across your engineering team.
