BIMblogi: New SketchUp Studio

Written by Ville Nikunen | 19 April 2021

The updated SketchUp Studio is complete solution for design teams intending to build their workflow around SketchUp – all the way to large projects. 3D model, import point clouds as the basis of your modeling work, render photorealistically, and share your output with others. 

The Studio package is now an even more professional choice for the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry – an efficient solution for building and special design as well as for construction coordination. Now also includes V-Ray and Scan Essentials! Available only for Windows.
