SketchUp Shop for Windows

Design from Anywhere with a Browser-Based SketchUp

If you work in 3D modeling, you’re likely familiar with SketchUp — a powerful desktop application for building professional 3D models. To make projects portable, Trimble created a browser edition called SketchUp Shop. This web-based modeler brings many of the tools you need for turning concepts into physical objects, while letting you work directly in a web browser.

Capabilities Included in the Web Modeler

• Unlimited cloud storage through Trimble Connect for sharing, versioning, and easy access to projects.
• Broad file interoperability so you can import and export a wider range of formats into your workspace.
• Solid modeling functionality similar to what you’d find in the desktop Pro version.
• Support for vector import/export and material customization to help finalize presentation and fabrication details.
• The convenience of working without installing desktop software — just open a supported browser and begin.

Collaboration and File Management

SketchUp Shop pairs the web modeler with Trimble Connect, enabling centralized storage and collaboration. Teams can store models in the cloud, hand off files, and work on shared projects without managing local file transfers. The web app’s extended import/export options make it easier to bring external assets into your models or prepare files for manufacturing and presentation.

Which Plan Makes Sense?

SketchUp Free is available if you need basic, browser-based modeling at no cost. If you require more advanced tools, fewer limitations, and Pro-like features in a browser, SketchUp Shop is the more suitable choice. Evaluate your workflow needs — collaboration, file types you must support, and the modeling tools you rely on — to decide which tier fits.

Alternatives to Consider
