WHAT IS SKETCHUP & WHY DOES PLUSSPEC PLUG INTO IT? - PlusSpec

Instead of recreating a 3D environment, we chose to work inside of the best.

SketchUp is the most popular and easy-to-use 3D software in the world.

As the team at SketchUp put it, ‘SketchUp Pro is like a pencil with superpowers’. And they are not wrong. SketchUp has been created so that you can focus on communication, not modeling.

A recently received independent review outlined that PlusSpec delivered estimated time savings for model creation by over 10x over traditional SketchUp techniques and an astonishing 30x faster when altering geometry like windows, walls and roofs!

I’ve never used SketchUp. Do I have to learn it too?

  • No. PlusSpec automates SketchUp.
  • When you learn PlusSpec, you learn SketchUp. Our Tutorials teach you all you need to know.
  • If you do need the SketchUp tools (to create difficult objects, easily), they work just like sketching and are super easy to learn.

Balancing Design & Construction

  • The problem with all other Parametric 3D BIM software is that they are simply super-charged Drafting boards (and can struggle with custom shapes). They are also not focused around ‘communication’.
  • That’s why PlusSpec is inside of SketchUp.
  • The best of parametric BIM & Estimating tools (PlusSpec) and 3D sketching tools (SketchUp) = The Ultimate Design & Construction Software for all of Industry.
  • With SketchUp you can design the unimaginable. With PlusSpec you can make them a reality.
