About this app

Bring 3D models to life on Android phones and tablets using SketchUp Viewer. Navigate and present your own SketchUp projects, or explore the millions of free models in 3D Warehouse for FREE!

Explore, present, and communicate in 3D. Here’s how:
• Open or download models directly from 3D Warehouse, Trimble Connect and Dropbox. You can also open models using Android's ‘Open With’ feature, for example when opening .SKP files sent as email attachments.
• SketchUp Viewer now supports Android's Storage Access Framework, making it easy to open models from Google Drive and other file storage apps.
• Augmented reality (AR) viewing features enable you to experience your 3D models by merging them with the world around you. AR model viewing features are available for all SketchUp Shop, SketchUp Pro and SketchUp Studio subscribers (also available via in-app purchase. $9.99 USD/yr.)
• With the Select tool and Entity Info panel you are able to get information about edge lengths, the area of faces, volume of solids, and component and group definitions.
• Navigate using multi-touch gestures for orbiting, panning and zooming.
• Choose to view your projects from any of the standard views or Scenes that you may have created up in SketchUp’s desktop and web modelers.*
• Switch between perspective and orthographic cameras for production and architectural drawings.
• Take measurements using the Tape Measure tool and adjust unit preferences to see measurements, dimension strings and Entity Info in the units of your choice.
• Turn layers on or off to control the visibility of parts of your model.
• Control the look and feel of your model by adjusting Edge and Face styles, including X-ray mode, along with toggles to control the visibility of Hidden Geometry, Section Planes, Section Cuts, Axes, and Watermarks.
• Move section planes to get just the right interior view of models, or visualize important elevation and plan views.

* The app supports the following scene properties: Camera location and properties, Hidden Geometry, Shadow settings, Visible Layers, Active Section Planes, Standard Edge Styles, Face Styles, Background/Sky/Ground Style settings, Watermarks and Axes Location.

Ratings and reviews

Fluid and easy to use, I'm rather surprised as my laptop is super slow with the Desktop app when I load all the layers of my model, but on my phone it goes very smoothly. I believe a lot of optimization has been made on the rendering, so that any smartphone can open and display rather large models. Edit : doesn't work any longer with newly generated models. I can still open my models from last year, but not the new ones..

I think this is a great idea. But it needs a lot of work. For example, it was tricky to find my designs at first. And once I have found them and download them, they won't open. Keeps showing up as an error. Sketchup itself is great. Highly recommend if your like me and can't afford the software

The app allows me to view my sketches on my mobile device. It is smooth and intuitive. It was easy to login to my account, which I use to draw sketches in the first place, find my sketches, and download and open them. Of course, it would be nice to edit sketches in the app, but since it is called SketchUp VIEWER, I will only knock off one star. A solid app which does exactly what it says.
