help SketchUp Pro FAQ
What does SketchUp Pro include that SketchUp Free does not?
SketchUp Pro adds the desktop modeling application, LayOut for construction documents, and broader professional import and export support. SketchUp Free runs in a web browser and is intended mainly for noncommercial personal projects.
Can SketchUp Pro produce architectural plans and scaled drawings?
Yes, a model can be sent to LayOut to create scaled viewports, dimensions, annotations, title blocks, and multipage drawing sets. LayOut remains linked to the SketchUp model, so model changes can be reflected in the documentation.
Can SketchUp Pro open AutoCAD DWG files?
SketchUp Pro supports importing and exporting DWG and DXF data, which helps when exchanging plans with AutoCAD users. Imported linework often needs cleanup because CAD layers, tiny gaps, and excessive segments can complicate face creation.
Is SketchUp Pro suitable for rendering, or does it need an extension?
SketchUp Pro handles modeling, materials, shadows, and basic visual styles, but photorealistic rendering normally requires another product. Common integrations include V-Ray for SketchUp, Enscape, and Twinmotion.
