SketchUp 3D Software for Architecture
SketchUp is designed to behave like your hand – more like a pencil than a complex 3D modelling software. SketchUp for Architects gets out of your way so you can draw whatever you can imagine, effeciently.
Throughout the building process, SketchUp helps you analyze problems and get any architecture project started and under construction.
SketchUp isn’t just for 3D models, it is also great when communicating your 3D designs in 2D. You can draw plans, elevations, sections, build details and finish it off with title blocks. SketchUp is remarkably accurate, so you can be sure any other architects or colleagues working on the project will have the information they need to get the job done.
The best part; when your model changes, so does your document.

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.
