SketchUp Pro Scan

SketchUp ProScan is an advanced tool that captures real-world environments using 3D scanning technologies such as LiDAR or photogrammetry. The scanned data is then converted into a detailed, editable 3D model directly inside SketchUp Pro—allowing you to model, measure, and design with precise real-world context.

SketchUp ProScan works with a range of devices, from mobile LiDAR-equipped tablets and smartphones to professional-grade 3D laser scanners. You can import common scan formats (such as .LAS, .E57, or .PLY) and integrate them seamlessly into your SketchUp workflow.

Absolutely. Using Trimble Connect, you can securely store, view, and share your scanned models and SketchUp projects with team members, clients, or contractors in real-time. This ensures everyone works from accurate, up-to-date 3D data—anytime, anywhere.

Yes. SketchUp ProScan is designed to work within the SketchUp Pro ecosystem, ensuring seamless integration with SketchUp’s modeling tools, LayOut for documentation, and Trimble Connect for collaboration. A licensed version of SketchUp Pro is required to access all ProScan features.

Accuracy depends on the device and method used to capture the data. Professional LiDAR scanners provide millimeter-level precision, while mobile scanning devices deliver excellent accuracy for conceptual and design planning. SketchUp ProScan maintains that accuracy when converting scan data into your 3D model.
