Users can directly download content into Sketchup, drastically increasing efficiency without impacting performance. Chaos Cosmos - a high quality and curated render ready content platform is also part of the offering.


V-Ray now offers both real-time and photo-real rendering solutions offering a complete visualisation package for architecture, engineering, and construction professionals. Additional features include real-time rendering capabilities with V-Ray Vision, Chaos Cosmos for curated and render-ready 3D content, as well as access to Chaos Cloud. V-Ray for SketchUp, now a part of V-Ray Solo and V-Ray Premium, is a photorealistic, physically-based rendering solution that helps designers better visualise their models. Has an unique LayOut integration, exporting point cloud to LayOut and 2D documentation.Works with universal scanning file formats such as RWP, LAS/ LAZ, TZF, E57, recently added PLY (scanning from mobile devices such as iphone 12 and ipad pro).Is intuitive to use with an easy learning curve.Supports very large point clouds without slowing down your SketchUp model.Uses SketchUp’s native toolbox, converting scan data to models by snapping directly on the point clouds to ensure precision.What makes this solution unique for SketchUp users in comparison to other point cloud applications is that Scan Essentials: Whether you import data from terrestrial scans, mobile mapping, photogrammetry, lidar sensors, or drone captures, the Trimble Scan Essentials plug-in makes your job easy and fast. This plug-in allows you to easily import point clouds, view them, and model directly on the points during model creation via SketchUp’s native toolbox. Scan Essentials for SketchUp is the most complete point cloud solution for modelling from scan data. Clearly call out materials, lengths and details to your contractor, builder, or interior designer. Easily explain the intricate detail of one model, and show real-world scale all on one page. The same easy-to-use UI and tools, but for designing in 2D. LayOut helps you show your client that you’ve captured what you have discussed, and move the project forward confidently. Never wonder if your drawings are clearly communicating what your intentions are. PreDesign improves the end result by better informing designers with accurate information to influence preliminary solutions. SketchUp Pro features PreDesign which is an early-stage research tool that provides designers of buildings, outside spaces, and master plans with the information they need to properly factor climate insights into their initial concepts. An easy-to-use interface with intuitive tools for designing in 3D.
