AI in SketchUp Pro and Studio: More Ideas, Less Routine
News | 23.12.2025
Trimble has introduced SketchUp AI — new AI-powered tools integrated directly into the SketchUp ecosystem. They help simplify modeling, speed up visualization, and make learning the software faster. Users of SketchUp Pro and SketchUp Studio can start using AI right now thanks to the included AI credits.
What SketchUp AI is and why it matters
SketchUp AI is a set of innovative tools designed specifically for SketchUp users. They don’t replace designers or architects; they enhance their work by helping visualize ideas faster, creating 3D objects, and providing suggestions without interrupting the workflow.
AI tools are natively integrated into SketchUp and work on Desktop, Web, and iPad versions, giving users complete control over their creative vision.
AI Render — visualization in minutes
AI Render lets you create conceptual or photorealistic images from your SketchUp 3D model and a text description. It’s the perfect solution for quickly presenting ideas to clients or for internal exploration of concepts.
- Generate multiple visualization options from a single model.
- Greater control over results with Negative Prompt and Preserve Color.
- Use the Reference Image for a more precise style.
- Edit images using Inpainting (Erase, Brush, Sketch);
- Convenient gallery to compare results.
AI Render is available in SketchUp for Desktop, Web, and iPad, and significantly reduces the need for external rendering engines.
AI Assistant — your smart SketchUp helper
AI Assistant helps model faster and learn SketchUp tools more easily without searching for information outside the program.
Generate Object
The Generate Object feature allows you to create 3D objects from a text description or image (JPG, PNG). This is especially useful for quickly creating unique elements, prototypes, or custom parts without lengthy manual modeling.
Help (AI Help)
The built-in AI Help assistant answers questions in a chat format, helps you find the right tools, and explains SketchUp functions. This tool does not consume AI credits and dramatically speeds up learning for new users.
SketchUp AI in Pro and Studio subscriptions
Users of SketchUp Pro and SketchUp Studio receive monthly AI credits included in their subscription. This allows testing and using AI Render and AI Assistant without additional commitments.
- AI credits are refreshed monthly.
- Studio includes extended credits for active use.
- You control when and how to use AI.
Practical value of SketchUp AI for business
SketchUp AI helps teams work more efficiently, reduces time spent preparing visualizations, and enables faster project decisions. This is especially important for architects, interior designers, landscape designers, and project teams who value speed and clarity.
