SketchUp for Archicad The integration of SketchUp with Archicad lets architects and Principals alike, focus on creativity at the earliest concept phase of any new project knowing that their designs can be automatically imported into Archicad®. This tool allows users to automatically re-use as much of the SketchUp® model data in Archicad as possible, without the need to manually rework it. This SketchUp add-on means, in day-to-day design terms, a smoother workflow from a building's very conception through to a 3D model. Now even these earliest sketch concepts, formed in SketchUp, can be incorporated into the intelligent Virtual Building environment, where detail can then be easily added and data interoperability can open the model to a range of other applications. Now feasibility studies of volume and materials can be performed at the sketch phase, linking the building data to the SketchUp faces in Archicad to support the design brief at this critical stage of client cooperation. You can win the project with your clear SketchUp concept design, but now in Archicad you can prove your design is viable. Existing SketchUp users who also use Archicad should download their free add-on here.
