The best tool for any job
SketchUp is an easy-to-use 3D modeler that lets you think through and pre-build projects on the computer before you tackle them in real life.
Try out design variations in 3D
Experimenting in woodworking software or cabinet design software is a lot less expensive than experimenting in the shop. Use SketchUp to visualize as many designs as you like without wasting a single piece of wood. Make sure your idea is possible and get any mistakes out of the way in SketchUp before you head to the hardware store.
Get good fast
If you want to be productive fast, you’ve come to the right place. SketchUp is the easiest way to learn how to draw in 3D. And once you learn the basics, SketchUp gets out of your way so you can draw whatever you want, however you want.
Measure twice, cut once
Think of 3D modeling your project as the ultimate form of measurement. With SketchUp, you can model accurately, take dimensions, and generate a cutlist in 3D before you build it. SketchUp is remarkably accurate, so you can model anything—from a wall of cabinets to a lap joint—with as much precision and detail as you like.

Real materials
Upload photos of wood grain, color, and finishes, or pull from material catalogs on 3D Warehouse.
Cutlists and cost estimates
SketchUp reports pull model information so you can do things like add up parts for cutlists and cost estimates.
Free 3D model library
Turn your 3D model into a 2D plan that includes dimensions, details, notes... anything you need to start the build.
Model like you’d build it
Expert woodworker and SketchUp whiz, David Heim shares his secret to creating clean, buildable 3D models: model projects in the sequence that you'd build them.
