SketchUp provided designers with an invaluable resource: time. The 30 minutes required to mock up a model was now possible in 30 seconds. Not only could designs move more quickly, but SketchUp expanded the room for exploration, creativity, and play. Over 20 years later, the world has changed, but the inspiration that drives us remains the same. It’s our mission to provide faster, easier, and more powerful tools so you can do less drudgery and more dreaming, designing, and building.
