3D Modelling Software​

SketchUp Software for 3D Modelling

3D modelling is the process of building an accurate graphical representation of objects. These 3D computer graphic models can be used for a range of purposes, from designing a complete building to mapping a specific object for use in animation.

3D modelling is an extremely important tool, allowing designers to check their creations before they enter production. 3D modelling software helps to reduce the overall cost of prototyping, allowing them to complete projects more quickly and accurately.

SketchUp is an excellent choice of 3D modelling software for both beginners and expert designers. Just starting out? You can build 3D models using nothing more than your web browser, completely free. You even get 10GB of free cloud storage for your models.

Looking for a professional modelling tool? SketchUp is available as a cost-effective subscription and includes a full desktop application to support more heavyweight designs and offline operations. You also benefit from unlimited cloud storage for your models.

Verified Great Product & Great Service

I have used SketchUp for over 10 years in my interior design business and the simplicity of it is second to none, it is so easy for me to create floor plans and designs for my clients and it doesn't break the bank!

I started with SketchUp when a builder introduced it to me as we were doing some work on our home in Bristol. This was around 10 years ago. I love playing with graphics and realised how quickly I could learn this as a tool. I'm not CAD trained so I am self taught at all the 2D work we produce. This has not limited the opportunities and CowPlan now employs two CAD specialists as part of our small team.
