CAD, BIM and GIS
Trimble SketchUp
Trimble SketchUp, made by Trimble, is listed here as a CAD, BIM or GIS tool.
SketchUp is 3D modeling software from Trimble, used by architects, builders, interior designers, landscape architects and urban planners to turn design ideas into buildable models. It sits within a family of tools including LayOut for drawings and Trimble Connect for collaboration. Models can start from the 3D Warehouse of ready-made models and materials, and Extension Warehouse offers add-on extensions. Scan Essentials imports point clouds from real-world scans.
