TRIMBLE Sketchup Pro - Windows - Classic Educational Lab - 1 Year - New License

SketchUp Pro

There's a reason SketchUp is synonymous with friendly and forgiving 3D modeling software: it doesn't sacrifice usability for the sake of functionality. Start by drawing lines and shapes. Push and pull surfaces to turn them into 3D forms. Stretch, copy, rotate and paint to make anything you like.

LayOut

LayOut is an extra application that comes with SketchUp Pro. With this you can make professional presentations of your SketchUp Pro models in no time. With LayOut you can place SketchUp Pro models in multiple views on a template (e.g. your house style) and add graphic elements such as titles, arrows, pattern fills, logos and photos for printing or screen presentations. So you can easily create a professional presentation document or you can fascinate your customers with a nice screen presentation!

StyleBuilder

StyleBuilder is a tool that you can use to create customized sketchy-edge Styles. You can apply these Styles to your models to make them look hand-drawn. Sketchy-edge Styles can look like anythingwavy pencil lines, quick pen strokes, marks from a fat stick of graphite-if you can get them into your computer, you can make them into a Style.

PreDesign

This tool provides designers of buildings, outside spaces, and master plans with the information they need to properly factor climate insights into their initial concepts, getting designs started in the right direction before the modelling process begins.

SketchUp Pro is equipped with the following functionalities to offer you easy, but versatile 3D modeling.

LayOut

• With LayOut you can place SketchUp models in a template in different points of view. You can edit the drawing by placing text, images and other graphical elements like arrows and circles. You can make several pages to present your model on print and screen!

Geo Modeling

• If you have a particular location for your project in mind, you can open the Google Maps window directly in SketchUp Pro, select the location and load it. Then you can model your project on the map (with an accurate 3D terrain).

Dynamic Components

• Attach all kinds of information to your components, such as different colors and dimensions or direction of rotation. In this way you can change the properties of your component with one click.

Report Tool

• Create tabular reports of your SketchUp model. For example, indicate the number of components used and the color, so that you know what you need to make your design reality!

Solid Modeling

• Make a new volume out of two or more other volumes. Union, intersect, subtract, trim or split: there are several possibilities to create unique volumes that you can not create with the standard modeling tools!

Styles

• Present your design in various styles, such as a hand sketch. You can create your own styles with the included StyleBuilder application. You can also add a watermark and mist.

PhotoMatch

• Create a 3D model by tracing a 2D photo or place a 3D model into a photograph. With Photo Match you can align lines on the photo to the axes of SketchUp Pro. Photo Match calculates the right camera position and the view angle to edit it on the photo.

Animation

• You can present your SketchUp model in a movie. Simply select all the views you want to show and make scenes of these, so that the camera can fly from scene to scene (very smooth!). By exporting it to AVI (Windows) or QuickTime (Mac) your SketchUp model can be viewed on every computer!

V-Ray (Studio only)

• With V-Ray for SketchUp, you can now take your design from idea to photorealistic render by tweaking lighting, adding shadows, touching up reflective coatings, selecting global illumination settings - and so much more.

Scan Essentials (Studio only)

• The tools to import, view, and model directly on point cloud data in SketchUp, it serves as a blueprint for a solid 3D foundation. Whether you're retrofitting or delivering a new build, you don't need to start from scratch.

PreDesign

• This tool provides designers of buildings, outside spaces, and master plans with the information they need to properly factor climate insights into their initial concepts, getting designs started in the right direction before the modelling process begins.

Drawing Tools

• SketchUp is based on the old-fashioned pencil. With the pencil you are free to draw lines and forms in 2D and 3D. The smart drawing-assistant appoints you on which axe you are drawing and if you are on the mid- or endpoint of a line or surface.

3D Extrusion

• With the Push/Pull tool you can drag a surface upwards and downwards to create 3D shapes. Or use the Follow Me tool to drag a surface into the third dimension by following the contours of a surface or a path! There is no easier way to create 3D shapes!

BIM

• BIM Classifier: Tag geometry with industry-standard object types (walls, slabs, roofs, etc.) and improve its compatibility with other BIM tools. Export an IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) file, wrapping up your model with 3D geometry and valuable metadata for use in another BIM application or import IFC files from other BIM application.

Shadow

• With just one simple mouse click you can show shadows on your model. These shadows are dependent on place, orientation, date and time. By dragging a slide bar you can follow the shadow from moment to moment!

Sections

• With SketchUp Pro you visualize sections in a simple and beautiful way. With a simple plane you indicate where the section comes and then draw it over the model to visualize the section.

Video card

* If you are looking for a new system or upgrade, please pay extra attention to the video card. We do recommend video cards with a nVidia RTX chip, preferably form the GeForce range. These cards support OpenGL very well and have qualitative drivers. OpenGL is the heart of the 3D view for SketchUp Pro. On-board video cards (soldered chipsets) are strongly discouraged! If you have any doubts about a new video card, please view this benchmark (preferably high-end).

System Check-Up Tool

If you have doubts about the compatibility of your system, you can download a special check-up tool, testing your system on the correct configurations.
