You can look at projects from standard views or scenes created up in SketchUp desktop and web modelers – it supports everything from camera location and properties, hidden geometry, shadow settings, visible layers, active section planes, standard edge styles, face styles and background/sky/ground style settings to watermarks and axis location. It’s a dream to navigate with intuitive multi-touch orbiting, panning and zooming. And the astonishingly good select tool and entity info panels provide insight into lengths, face areas, solids volumes, and the distribution of components and groups.

You can tap into SKP viewer Augmented Reality to merge 3D models with the real world to spectacular effect, with AR model viewing for SketchUp Shop, SketchUp Pro and SketchUp Studio subscribers as well as a paid-for option in-app. Because the viewer supports Android’s Storage Access Framework, opening models from Google Drive and other file storage apps is super-easy. You can open or download models directly from 3D Warehouse, Trimble Connect and Dropbox, then open them via Android ‘open with’. Thanks to SketchUp viewer you can easily navigate and present your own SketchUp designs and also explore literally millions of free models in 3D Warehouse, at no charge.

No wonder it’s known for being the best way to view SketchUp files online. The web-based application is called the SketchUp free viewer, and there’s also a brilliant paid version that comes with loads of extra functionality, SketchUp pro viewer. SketchUp viewer is a separate app that makes SketchUp 3D models easily available on a multitude of devices. SketchUp itself is an intelligent software tool used for drawing applications in the architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering sectors as well as in movie and game design.
