Create, edit, and mark up 3D projects anywhere with SketchUp for iPad.
Capture your creativity on the go
SketchUp for iPad is the most accessible bridge for designers who have always dreamed of creating in 3D. Mark up designs, reimagine ideas, present the final concept, or start a project from scratch with the ease of drawing by hand. Take your design process up a notch in new, exciting – and mobile – ways.
A robust integration with our cloud-based collaboration platform, Trimble Connect, keeps files in sync across devices so you can move seamlessly between SketchUp for iPad, SketchUp for Web, and SketchUp Pro desktop design apps. Whether you’re connected to high-speed internet, or you’re working offline, take your work with you wherever you go.
Wherever your projects take you, SketchUp for iPad has your back. Draw and iterate quickly in 3D, review and collaborate with ease, and keep the project moving forward — directly on iPad.
