SketchUp Studio is the top SketchUp subscription. Trimble lists it as Windows-only, so talk to us first if your practice runs Macs.
What's included

Revit Importer
Convert Revit models into clean, light SketchUp geometry - no Revit licence required.

What Studio users say
The Revit Importer sped up my importing and cleans up workflows from a couple of days to a few hours, even with complex models.
Next step
See if Studio fits your work
The free 7-day trial includes everything in Studio - V-Ray, Scan Essentials and the Revit Importer - so you can evaluate the full kit on your own projects before you buy.
Photoreal visuals with V-Ray
V-Ray for SketchUp renders inside the SketchUp environment - interactive, real-time visualisation while you model, then presentation-grade stills, animations and 360° panoramas when the design is ready to show. No exporting to a separate tool.
Model over point clouds with Scan Essentials
Import point clouds from terrestrial scanners, drones, photogrammetry and mobile mapping - RWP, LAS/LAZ, TZF, PLY and E57 all load - and model directly over them with SketchUp's native tools. The 2026 release added Texture Projection and the Surface Mesh tool, which generates clean meshes straight from scan data. If you're scanning sites yourself, it pairs naturally with our 3D scanning hardware and services.
Bring Revit files in cleanly
The Revit Importer converts Revit models and families into light, well-organised SketchUp geometry - materials respected, levels translated to section planes, and no Revit licence required.
Everything in Pro underneath
Studio includes the full SketchUp Pro toolset - the desktop modeller, LayOut for 2D documentation, SketchUp for Web and iPad, Trimble Connect cloud collaboration and the Extension Warehouse.
SketchUp Studio FAQs
What is the difference between Studio and Studio Plus?
The software is identical - Studio Plus adds our NZ services: remote support from our SketchUp experts, the advanced video tutorial library, and access to our NZ training courses.
What does Studio add over Pro?
Three things: V-Ray for photoreal rendering, Scan Essentials for point-cloud modelling, and the Revit Importer. If you don't need them, SketchUp Pro is the right plan - talk to us and we will help you pick.
Does Studio run on a Mac?
No - Trimble lists Studio as Windows-only. SketchUp Pro runs on both Windows and macOS, but the Studio subscription and its extra tools are Windows territory. If you're Mac-based, talk to us and we will find the right setup.
Do I need a Revit licence to import Revit files?
No - the Revit Importer converts Revit files without Revit installed or a Revit licence.
Can I use it on more than one computer?
Yes - your subscription can be signed in on up to two devices, and you deauthorise a device from your Trimble account when you move to a new machine. SketchUp needs an intermittent internet connection and keeps working offline for up to 28 days.
Is there a free trial?
Yes - the free 7-day trial includes everything in a Studio subscription, V-Ray, Scan Essentials and the Revit Importer included, with no credit card needed. Grab it from our download page.
Does the subscription renew automatically?
Yes, annually - you can cancel any time before the renewal date from your account and keep using Studio until the period ends.
Can you invoice our business?
Yes - checkout supports paying on invoice for NZ businesses, and every purchase comes with a GST invoice in NZ dollars from Professional CAD Systems.
