Step by step

How to get your SketchUp view ready

4 steps, and only the export is required.

1. Set up the view

Frame the building with the Orbit and Pan tools. For straight vertical walls, turn on Camera, Two-Point Perspective. Hide the axes and any guides you do not want in the picture.

2. Choose a plain style

In the Styles panel, set the face style to Shaded, Hidden Line or Monochrome. A white or clay model gives the cleanest result. Turn shadows off, the AI adds its own light.

3. Export a PNG

In SketchUp for desktop, use File, Export, 2D Graphic and save a PNG. In any version, a normal screenshot of the SketchUp window also works.

4. Render it

Upload the PNG, pick daylight, overcast, evening sun or dusk, and add a short note about materials if you want, such as white render and oak windows.

SketchUp AI Render or a screenshot tool

Both make AI images from your SketchUp model. They differ in what you need before you start.

SketchUp AI Render

Built into SketchUp for desktop, iPad and web. It needs a paid SketchUp Go, Pro or Studio plan, and on desktop SketchUp 2024 or newer with the AI Render extension. Each image costs 10 credits. Plans include 100 to 200 credits a month, and unused credits do not carry over. It also has drawing and editing tools inside SketchUp.

Was Sie erwarten können

What the AI keeps from your SketchUp model and what it changes

Damit Sie wissen, was Sie einem Kunden zeigen und was Sie unserem Studio senden sollten.

Was gleich bleibt

Die Form des Gebäudes, die Fenster und Türen, die Dachlinie und die Anzahl der Stockwerke. Der Kamerawinkel bleibt exakt wie in Ihrem Screenshot.

Was die KI ändert

Materialien, Licht, Himmel, Bepflanzung und Möbeloberflächen. Verwenden Sie das Notizfeld, um diese zu steuern, zum Beispiel weißer Putz und Eichenfenster.

Was vereinfacht werden kann

Sehr feine Details, wie dünne Fensterprofile oder kleine Geländer, können einfacher dargestellt werden als im Modell. Für exakte finale Bilder nutzen Sie unser Studio.

Was mit Ihrer Datei geschieht

Nur der Screenshot wird gesendet, niemals Ihre Modelldatei. Wir verwenden Ihre Bilder nicht zum Trainieren von KI und wir veröffentlichen Ihre Renderings nicht.

SketchUp AI rendering FAQ

Questions about AI rendering for SketchUp

Versions, files, accuracy and price.

Stellen Sie uns eine Frage

Which SketchUp versions work?

Any version that can show your model. The tool only needs an image of the view, so SketchUp Free, SketchUp for Web, old desktop versions and the current one all work.

Do I need to install a plugin or extension?

No. You export a PNG or take a screenshot and upload it in your browser. Nothing is added to SketchUp and the model file is never uploaded.

How is this different from SketchUp's built-in AI Render?

SketchUp AI Render runs inside SketchUp and needs a paid Go, Pro or Studio plan. On desktop it needs SketchUp 2024 or newer. Each image costs 10 credits, and the monthly credits do not carry over. Our tool works from an exported image, so any SketchUp version works, you get 3 free renders a day, and paid credits never expire. If you already pay for SketchUp, try both. Facts about SketchUp checked on help.sketchup.com on 15 October 2026.

Will the AI change my SketchUp design?

Es behält die Form des Gebäudes, die Fenster, die Dachlinie und die Anzahl der Stockwerke bei. Es ändert die Materialien, das Licht und die Umgebung. Sehr feine Details, wie zum Beispiel dünne Fensterprofile, können einfacher dargestellt werden als im Modell.

Which SketchUp style gives the best result?

A plain one. Shaded, Hidden Line or Monochrome with shadows off works well. Heavy sketchy edge styles and strong textures can show through in the render.

What does it cost?

3 renders a day are free with no account. A free account adds 40 credits. Pro is 19 euro a month for 600 credits, about 46 HD renders, and credits never expire.
