Unlock Key Professional Workflows
Studio is designed to solve specific, complex challenges faced by design and construction teams.
Increase Workflow Efficiency
Import, view, and model directly on 3D point cloud data from terrestrial scans, LiDAR, drones, and photogrammetry. Bring real-world context directly into your modelling environment for accurate and efficient design.
Generate High-Quality Visuals for Winning Presentations
Turn your 3D models into compelling, photorealistic visuals with V-Ray’s industry-standard rendering capabilities. Utilize atmospheric effects, global illumination, and artificial lighting to create stunning presentations that win bids.
Move Seamlessly Between Tools
Break down software barriers. The Revit Importer translates native Revit files including families, materials, and metadata into organized, optimized SketchUp models. This enables quick, creative iteration at any project phase without needing a Revit license.
Professional Insight: “We have produced nearly 200 energy models in less than a year and have seen the benefits, including improved design and positive financial return.” — Patrick Thibadeau, Principal Sustainability Officer at JLG Architects
