SketchUp Studio Subscription
What is SketchUp Studio?
SketchUp Studio is for design teams that want to advance their workflows. Draw in 3D, import and model on point cloud data, generate hi-res photoreal renders and share your designs. Windows only.
V-Ray 5 and Scan Essentials are now included in your SketchUp Studio subscription. Start your project off by importing and modelling on robust point cloud data and finish it using incredible, high-quality renders.
A SketchUp Studio subscription is assigned to one individual and can only be used by that registered user. It cannot be shared between colleagues. The individual can authorize their subscription on two computers that they use – but can only use one at a time (typically a work computer/desktop and a laptop).
To access your subscription, you must sign in with Trimble ID. Each user account can only be associated with one individual person. You cannot create a generalized user account that is shared by more than one person. This is what we refer to as a “named user”.

What’s Included?
SketchUp Pro
There’s a reason SketchUp is synonymous with intuitive and user-friendly 3D design software: it doesn’t sacrifice usability for functionality. Start drawing lines and shapes. Push and pull surfaces to turn them into 3D shapes. Stretch, copy, rotate and paint to create anything you want.
The SketchUp Pro subscription includes the premium online modeller (SketchUp for Web), Trimble Connect for Business, as well as the desktop applications; SketchUp Pro for Desktop, LayOut, PreDesign, and Style Builder. The bundle also includes augmented reality features within SketchUp Viewer for iOS and Android and viewing apps for the following XR devices: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Microsoft HoloLens, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.
V-Ray
From detailed high-rise buildings to interior floor plans, add realism into your projects using V-Ray. With atmospheric effects, global illumination, natural lighting, real-life textures, and shading options, you will truly be able to showcase your project in the best light with just a few steps.
Draw and snap directly onto your point cloud using SketchUp’s native toolbox and accurately translate your point cloud into a 3D model. Lock onto a single plane for added modeling precision.
Scan Essentials
Increase workflow efficiency by importing, viewing, and modeling directly on point cloud data from terrestrial scans, photogrammetry, lidar sensors, mobile mapping, and drone captures. Use Scan Essentials to precisely — and rapidly — ensure model accuracy no matter the size of your file. Finalize the 3D details and prep your project for the final build by creating 2D documentation from point cloud data directly in LayOut.
LayOut
LayOut takes your 3D model into 2D space; it’s the tool for creating documentation from your SketchUp model.
PreDesign
PreDesign lets you enhance your design research before you even begin to model. Figure out daylighting, shading/glazing, outside spaces and architectural response.
Style Builder
Style Builder has one primary job: enabling you to create sketchy edge styles from your own images.
SketchUp Web
Subscribers to the Pro bundle are given access to the premium features of SketchUp’s browser-based
3D Warehouse
Find a 3D model of just about anything and import it straight into your own model.
Extension Warehouse
SketchUp extensions are add-on tools that solve 3D modeling problems which can seriously supercharge your workflow.
Support
You’ll get all the help you need with any installation and technical questions that may arise.
Trimble Connect for Business
Trimble Connect is a cloud storage and collaboration platform accessible via desktop, mobile, web, and mixed reality devices. It allows users to share and access project information anywhere, with collaboration tools including 3D markup, task assignment, and clash checking. Connect supports Autodesk, Tekla, and SketchUp file formats, plus point clouds, PDF, images, IFC, Microsoft Office files and more for collaboration across disparate teams and functions.
The Trimble Connect app for XR (HoloLens and MagicLeap) allows users to experience models in augmented reality in tabletop mode or at 1:1 scale; models can be aligned with real-world reference points for an immersive experience.

SketchUp Campus
SketchUp Campus is a unique, in-depth learning hub with SketchUp-approved courses, to make learning SketchUp convenient and simple.
SketchUp Viewer for iOS/Android
SketchUp Viewer for Mobile with the option to add paid AR functionality; these paid features are included with the SketchUp Pro bundle.
SketchUp Viewer for Mobile opens models from 3D Warehouse, Trimble Connect, and Dropbox. View and present models with the familiar orbit, pan, and zoom tools. The viewer also supports scenes, fly-through animations, section planes, layer visibility, X-Ray, and edge and face styles.
AR features enable users to merge 3D models with real-world context; allowing them to reimagine room layouts, evaluate proposals in context or review projects as they would a scale model.
SketchUp Viewers for XR (AR/VR)
Subscribers to the SketchUp Pro bundle will have access to our full range of viewers for mixed reality devices: Microsoft HoloLens and Windows Mixed Reality devices; and virtual reality devices: Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Other XR platforms are in development.
With SketchUp XR Viewers, users can immerse themselves in a project at 1:1 scale to experience, understand or resolve complex spatial dynamics. Cycling through scenes within a model facilitates rapid design decisions and can show construction sequencing. Teams may collaborate via live audio; virtual avatars represent a colleague’s point of view, allowing them to be more easily guided. Tools such as Tape Measure and Entity Info provide insights when needed. On AR devices, alignment with real-world reference points allows digital models to be placed in-situ.
