Project Overview

The easiest way to draw in 3D.

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.

Project Innovation/Need

SketchUp 2015 features an official Rotated Rectangle tool, so you can now draw precise rectangle unbound by default axes. With our new 3-point Arc tool – there are now four different ways to draw arc’ed edges. We’ve overhauled LayOut’s Label tool too, you can now conveniently place and align beautiful, two-segmented leader labels.

SketchUp is meant to be customised. Thanks to our Ruby API and an amazing community of developers, today you can explore an entire universe of extensions. These are add-on tools built to solve the kind of 3D modelling problems that might otherwise leave you scratching your head. Need to draw 3D mouldings? There’s an extension for that. Wouldn’t it be cool to bend your models to fit a curve? That’s possible, too. Photorealistic rendering? Definitely. If you can imagine a SketchUp extension, chances are it already exists.




This award celebrates creative and innovative design for either a component or overall product. Consideration given to aspects that relate to human usage, aesthetics, selection of components and materials, and the resolution of assembly, manufacturing and the overall function.
