A new SketchUp Labs feature, Scan-to-Design [Labs], will revolutionize your scanning, model creation, and design process. Do it all in just one app while opening up opportunities for easy collaboration.
SketchUp Labs, our public beta program, introduces a groundbreaking workflow on iPad that will amplify your productivity. Scan-to-Design [Labs] lets you scan, design, and collaborate — all in one app. Scan existing interior spaces and watch as SketchUp, powered by Canvas, Apple, and Trimble’s cutting-edge technology, transforms your scan data into an intelligently organized SketchUp model. By giving you all the tools within one app, you’ll streamline the process and shorten the time it takes to create as-built models, immediately access 3D geometry as a starting point for design exploration, and open up opportunities for better stakeholder collaboration. Scan-to-Design also captures a comprehensive scan of the space, eliminating the need to go back to the site for missed details later.
Effortless model creation and seamless collaboration
Imagine walking into a client's space, holding up your iPad to scan, and instantly generating a 3D model. With Scan-to-Design, you can quickly iterate on the spot, incorporating your client’s design ideas as they suggest them. Taking advantage of iPad's on-the-go capabilities allows you to turn multiple trips, conversations, and emails into one productive meeting. After capturing your scan data and discussing design options with your client, publish the file to Trimble Connect, our cloud collaboration platform. Your design will be waiting for you when you open up SketchUp on our Desktop and Web applications back at the office or wherever you work.
