Connecting data and creating visualizations are key to successful architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects. With SketchUp, you can connect this information within 3D models and provide the proper analysis at each stage while keeping stakeholders aligned and the project moving forward.

Why interoperability?
Interoperability connects systems and applications to save you from rework. Each time you are required to duplicate work in different pieces of software, it invites human error, not to mention wasted time. Importing files into SketchUp means you don't have to start from scratch to ideate and create compelling visualizations that are easy for stakeholders to interpret and understand.
Here are some key benefits of interoperability:
Less rework, saving you time and limiting errors
Better collaboration
Expedited deliverables
Increased project success
Ability to engage more stakeholders
What's new with interoperability?
In most industries and workflows these days, interoperability is key for efficiency and collaboration. We understand that people have different software preferences, and SketchUp isn't the only tool they use. Regardless of your toolset, the ability to move seamlessly between tools is critical, which is why we constantly look to improve import and export capabilities.
