SketchUp Pro Advanced Workflows: Powerful 3D Design for Connected Workflows
SketchUp Pro Advanced Workflows is a professional 3D modelling solution designed for architects, designers, contractors, and AEC professionals who need a more connected and efficient design workflow.
With advanced tools such as Revit Importer and Scan Essentials, SketchUp Pro Advanced Workflows makes it easier to bring Revit models and point cloud data into SketchUp, work with existing conditions, develop design concepts, create documentation, and collaborate with project teams.
For professionals working across different design platforms, it provides greater flexibility to move between data, models, and workflows without losing the simplicity and speed that SketchUp is known for.
What Is SketchUp Pro Advanced Workflows?
SketchUp Pro Advanced Workflows is an advanced SketchUp subscription built for interoperable design workflows.
It includes everything in the SketchUp Pro workflow, together with advanced capabilities for:
- Revit-to-SketchUp workflows with Revit Importer
- Point cloud modelling with Scan Essentials
- Professional 3D modelling with SketchUp for Desktop
- 2D documentation and construction drawings with LayOut
- Cloud-based project collaboration with Trimble Connect
- 3D modelling through SketchUp for Web and SketchUp for iPad
- Access to 3D Warehouse and Extension Warehouse
- SketchUp AI tools for supported visualization and modelling workflows
Work Seamlessly Between Revit and SketchUp
Many design and construction projects involve multiple software platforms and disciplines. SketchUp Pro Advanced Workflows helps bridge the gap between Revit and SketchUp.
With the Revit Importer, users can import and translate Revit files into SketchUp, making it easier to review models, explore design ideas, analyze relationships between disciplines, and iterate on concepts.
This makes SketchUp particularly useful for teams that need the flexibility of SketchUp’s intuitive 3D modelling environment while working with information originating from Revit.
Key benefits of Revit Importer include:
- Import Revit files directly into SketchUp
- Explore and iterate on existing Revit models
- Improve coordination between different disciplines
- Analyze design dependencies and potential project issues
- Develop and communicate design concepts in 3D
Model Existing Conditions with Point Cloud Data
Accurate existing-condition information can make a significant difference when developing renovation, retrofit, or as-built projects.
Scan Essentials allows users to import point cloud data into SketchUp and model directly on the scanned environment. This provides a more accurate reference for understanding existing spaces and developing proposed design changes.
Instead of relying solely on measurements or assumptions, designers can use real-world scan data as the foundation for their 3D modelling workflow.
With Scan Essentials, you can:
- Import point cloud data into SketchUp
- Model directly on scanned environments
- Create more accurate existing-condition models
- Develop design proposals based on real-world conditions
- Reduce guesswork when working with existing spaces
From 3D Modelling to Documentation and Collaboration
SketchUp Pro Advanced Workflows is more than a 3D modelling tool. It brings together a range of tools that support different stages of the design process.
SketchUp for Desktop provides the core professional 3D modelling environment, while LayOut can be used to transform 3D models into professional 2D documentation and presentations.
For project collaboration, Trimble Connect provides cloud-based storage and collaboration workflows, allowing teams to share project files and work with project information across teams.
This creates a more connected workflow from existing conditions → 3D modelling → design development → documentation → collaboration.
