SketchUp Pro
SketchUp Pro is a powerful 3D modeling software widely used in interior design for creating detailed and accurate visualizations of spaces. It allows designers to experiment with layouts, materials, and finishes and ultimately provides clients with realistic renderings of their projects.
3D Warehouse
After you've built up the basics of your model and are ready to start adding doors, windows, and furniture, you can visit the 3D Warehouse. The SketchUp 3D Warehouse is an extensive online repository of 3D models that is invaluable for interior design. It offers a wide collection of pre-made furniture, fixtures, and architectural elements that designers can easily import into their projects.
Extensions
The SketchUp Extension Warehouse is a comprehensive library of plugins and extensions that enhance the functionality of SketchUp Pro. It provides helpful tools for advanced modeling, rendering, and workflow optimization. Please note that not all extensions are free. Be sure to check the description and be cautious when following external links.
