Try out design variations in 3D
Experimenting in woodworking software or cabinet design software is a lot less expensive than experimenting in the shop. Use SketchUp to visualize as many designs as you like without wasting a single piece of wood. Make sure your idea is possible and get any mistakes out of the way in SketchUp before you head to the hardware store.
Get good fast
If you want to be productive fast, you’ve come to the right place. SketchUp is the easiest way to learn how to draw in 3D. And once you learn the basics, SketchUp gets out of your way so you can draw whatever you want, however you want.
Measure twice, cut once
Think of 3D modeling your project as the ultimate form of measurement. With SketchUp, you can model accurately, take dimensions, and generate a cutlist in 3D before you build it. SketchUp is remarkably accurate, so you can model anything—from a wall of cabinets to a lap joint—with as much precision and detail as you like.
Win Work Fast
SketchUp is your secret weapon for making beautiful graphics for sales and marketing. From detailed line drawings to rich, colorful images, you can leverage your existing models into assets that will help you get more projects.
3D Modeling
The most intuitive way to design, document, and communicate your ideas in 3D.
Iterate in 3D
This year, we focused on data structures and modeling behaviors to use software that boosts your ability to crank out those stunning design projects.
Accurate, detailed models
Accuracy from the beginning is key. SketchUp enables you to design, define, and plan in all stages of the project.
Interoperability
SketchUp plays well with all of the other tools in your design toolbox.

Designing Innovative Workplace Interiors with 3DEA Bulgaria
Ivan Borov got the 3D bug at fourteen when he collaborated with a friend on a project using SketchUp and Google Earth. He was fascinated by SketchUp’s accessibility and technology as a whole. Whilst studying interior design in Milan, a short film submission that combined his love for graphic design, video, and photo editing won him a scholarship.

From concept design to construction with SketchUp
When you walk through the entrance, you have a view of our manufacturing unit. Everything made there is designed in SketchUp. You can see the steel being welded together. Northpower Stålhallar builds steels halls so our building is, of course, built with a steel frame. Find out more in the blog below
