Google SketchUp Pro 6
Create, export and present 3D models
Google SketchUp Pro 6 is software that you can use to create, share and present 3D models. SketchUp Pro provides extra functionality for people who need to export their work into CAD, rendering and other professional software applications. SketchUp Pro 6 also includes LayOut, a completely new program that lets you create complete presentations – paper and digital – from your SketchUp models. Discover how to use SketchUp Pro to make buildings for Google Earth. Find out more about plugins to extend the functionality of SketchUp Pro, as well as applications that are SketchUp compatible.
Start modeling in SketchUp in less than a day.
An intuitive user interface makes SketchUp Pro much easier to learn than other 3D modeling software you may have tried – most people get up and running in a couple of hours. Video tutorials, an extensive Help Center and weekly web demos mean that anyone who wants to make 3D models with SketchUp, can. Additionally, Google SketchUp Pro 6 users have access to email technical support, so help is never far away.
Build 3D models quickly and accurately.
Design is a process of iteration and discovery: trying something, testing it, then trying something else. SketchUp is a tool for solving 3D problems quickly. And since you're always working with real dimensions, SketchUp lets you be as accurate as you're ready to be.
Share your models with the other programs in your workflow.
No software is an island. You can continue to use SketchUp with your favorite software programs. SketchUp Pro 6 imports and exports both DXF and DWG. It also exports 3DS, OBJ, XSI, FBX, (take a breath), EPS, PDF, VRML, EPX, DAE and KMZ. No matter what subset of the alphabet your favorite software prefers, chances are you can use it with SketchUp Pro 6.
Create professional 2D presentation documents with LayOut.
Only SketchUp Pro 6 includes LayOut, a brand-new tool for creating multi-page documents and professional presentations made from your SketchUp models. LayOut lets you work more efficiently by radically reducing the amount of time you have to spend composing and updating 2D presentations.
