SketchUp for Web
Think through ideas and pre-build projects with simple, fun 3D modeling.


Turn ideas into reality
Start modeling right away
Modeling in SketchUp for Web takes just three steps: 1. Open your favorite browser. 2. Launch SketchUp. 3. Get creative!
Model once, cut once
3D modeling is the ultimate form of measurement. With SketchUp you can pre-build projects in 3D before you head to the hardware store.
Create project references
SketchUp models are useful references for your project. Save important views and send them to a phone or tablet. Or, generate reference drawings to print or share with others.

Powered by the web
With SketchUp for Web, the canvas for your next idea is just a browser tab away. Our web-based modeler is a streamlined version of our desktop app that uses the same core technology. And, by saving projects to Trimble Connect, you’re always working on the most up-to-date version of a model; you can even look-up version history. SketchUp for Web also auto-saves, so in-progress modeling is recovered on those occasions you push your browser a bit too far.
