SketchUp is a tool simple, amazingly powerful tool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly and easily.

SketchUp was developed to combine the elegance and spontaneity of pencil sketching with the speed and flexibility of today's digital media.

Developed for the conceptual stages of design, this software is powerful yet easy to learn, to create quick and easy 3D form, the result is an interface that supports a dynamic, creative exploration of 3D form, material and light.

SketchUp Pro 6 combines a compact, but complete new toolbars and icons that give a new image SketchUp total, without sacrificing their ability to sense and simplicity. The new "Dialogues concise" are incredibly practical, thanks to which we have grouped in small related groups. There are new ways to manage keyboard shortcuts, and list of tools and operations that can have shortcuts assigned has been expanded.

For people starting out, new applications such as SketchUp is "Getting Started" tutorials used at your own pace and some links to key areas of our website and "User Guide" which is online, including a section of concepts, a glossary, and visual cues that let you know when video is available an additional tutorial on the same topic.

3D For All

SketchUp is designed to get along with everybody, that is why we are compatible with most CAD applications, modeling, image editing and illustration, to be used in Architecture, Interior Design, Construction, Landscaping, Film even in Game Development and Design Mechanics, to help bring life to their ideas.

Download our free trial version that allows you to work 8 full hours. Ese tiempo será más que suficiente para enamorarse de esta interfase notablemente fácil y de funcionalidad increíblemente poderosa. That time will be more than enough to fall for this remarkably easy interface and unbelievably powerful functionality.

SketchUp Add-on for ArchiCAD

Integrating SetchUp with ArchiCAD, allowing both to focus on creativity during the first phase of the new project, knowing that their designs can be automatically imported into ArchiCAD with just one mouse click, thus automatically reused all data ArchiCAD SketchUp possible, without duplicating work manually.

Through this Add-on, this solution ensures a world renowned line of seamless data transmission from concepts of surfaces and materials and colors until intelligent architectural objects. In ArchiCAD the user will find walls, blocks and other similarly intelligent that were created in SketchUp from the beginning.

Key benefits of working with the Add-on:

	Start from a great finish in 3D visualization and 3D intelligent. If used from the start SketchUp, there is no need to reverse from a 2D CAD, because with SketchUp Add-on can take your ArchiCAD 3D model with all the advantages in all phases of the project.
	Add more value to your real data linking conceptual design of the building to its preliminary model through ArchiCAD SketchUp. You can now draft quantification and materials in the first phase, to demonstrate that he has grasped the idea of his client.
	Import SketchUp models more easily! With the Automatic Transfer option, SketchUp models can be imported into ArchiCAD with a click of the mouse.Based on geometric characteristics of the elements of SketchUp, will be converted into ArchiCAD construction elements (blocks horizontal surfaces, vertical walls, oblique covered, parts of objects, doors or windows).
	Refine the import! To import only parts of SketchUp models or to refine the characteristics of the ArchiCAD construction elements during the import, you can use Manual Transfer option. You can preset rules based on those elements that will be converted into intelligent ArchiCAD construction elements.
	Create documentation once! Even the multi-storey buildings can be easily manipulated during transfer.
	Save your imports! Once you have set the transfer rules for optimal results, you can save and store easily for future occasions. No matter the extent to which import refined manual, do not have to worry about repeating the same steps in the future, it may apply the same rules as any other project.
