A SketchUp Student Subscription is where great ideas get to work and takes your designs from the classroom into the real world.
SketchUp Pro is powerful and intuitive 3D design software for a wide range of drawing applications used across a range of industries from architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and construction, to film and video game design.
A SketchUp student subscription gives you use of SketchUp desktop, Sefaira, PreDesign, LayOut, Style Builder, SketchUp Viewer for XR apps, SketchUp Viewer for Mobile apps, SketchUp web, Pro support, Pro learning and Trimble Connect.
To qualify, you must be a current student at an accredited educational institution (for example a college or university)
You must also provide proof of student status (letter of enrollment or copy of student ID card).
You can install SketchUp Studio on both your desktop and laptop computers.
Subscriptions for SketchUp Studio for Students expire one year from the date of generation.
SketchUp Student licenses cannot be used for commercial (for-profit) work of any kind.
There’s a reason SketchUp is synonymous with intuitive and user-friendly 3D design software: it doesn’t sacrifice usability for functionality. Start drawing lines and shapes. Push and pull surfaces to turn them into 3D shapes. Stretch, copy, rotate and paint to create anything you want.
The SketchUp Pro student bundle includes the premium online modeller (SketchUp for Web), Trimble Connect for Business, as well as the desktop applications; SketchUp Pro for Desktop, LayOut, PreDesign and Style Builder. The bundle also includes augmented reality features within SketchUp Viewer for iOS and Android and viewing apps for the following XR devices: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Microsoft HoloLens, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.
LayOut takes your 3D model into 2D space; it’s the tool for creating documentation from your SketchUp model.
PreDesign lets you enhance your design research before you even begin to model. Figure out daylighting, shading/glazing, outside spaces and architectural response.
Style Builder has one primary job: enabling you to create sketchy edge styles from your own images.
SketchUp Pro’s desktop client modeller; all you need is an internet connection and your creativity.
Find a 3D model of just about anything and import it straight into your own model.
SketchUp extensions are add-on tools that solve 3D modelling problems which can seriously supercharge your workflow.
You’ll get all the help you need with any installation and technical questions that may arise.
The Trimble Connect extension for SketchUp provides direct access to projects, models, and other features of the Trimble Connect platform.
SketchUp Campus is a unique, in-depth learning hub with SketchUp-approved courses, to make learning SketchUp convenient and simple.
Wherever you are – so are your models. Access your models from 3D Warehouse, Trimble Connect and Dropbox.
