Trimble SketchUp Pro 2024
As an Authorised reseller of SketchUp Pro we sell the full range of licences to compliment our specialist training and modelling project services.
Whilst the SketchUp FREE version provides a basic web based modeller for professional work we recommend the SketchUp Pro version available directly from XChange Training. SketchUp Pro is used across many professional industries including architecture, construction, engineering, landscape architecture, kitchen & bath design, urban planning, film & stage and woodworking.

SketchUp Pro is the most intuitive way to design, document and communicate your ideas in 3D.
Trimble SketchUp Pro (formerly Google SketchUp Pro) is an intuitive 3D CAD software package that is both cost effective and natural to use. Built in features like Layout and third party renderers make Sketchup Pro a highly powerful tool.
SketchUp Pro is like a pencil with superpowers. Start by drawing lines and shapes. Push and pull surfaces to turn them into 3D forms. Stretch, copy, rotate and paint to make anything you like. More advanced? Start modelling from CAD and terrain data, photographs or even hand sketches. Build models with custom behaviours and attributes. SketchUp Pro is as simple and as powerful as you want it to be.
LayOut: At some point in every project, you need to produce a set of drawings that shows your model: plans, sections, elevations, perspectives. LayOut in SketchUp Pro lets you add model views to pages, choose drawing scales, adjust line weights and add dimensions, callouts and graphics. Changes to your model are reflected automatically in LayOut. When it’s time, export PDFs, images and CAD files.
Present from SketchUp Pro: Scenes let you save views of your model to pull up anytime. Styles provide endless visual effects to make your work look precise, sketchy or anything in between. Section Planes slice through models for creating sectional views. Go fullscreen, walk around, add labels and export flyover animations. Present from SketchUp Pro and get your point across every single time.
With handy contextual tips, a dedicated Instructor panel for beginners, and mountains of online resources, help is always on the way and just in case, every SketchUp Pro license includes a year of free technical support.
