SketchUp is one of the most widely used 3D modeling software solutions for architects, interior designers, engineers, and construction professionals. Known for its intuitive interface and fast modeling workflow, SketchUp makes it easy to create conceptual designs, detailed 3D models, and visual presentations. Whether you’re exploring SketchUp Free or SketchUp Pro, comparing SketchUp pricing, or evaluating its features and alternatives, this guide covers everything you need to know to determine if SketchUp is the right software for your design workflow.

Cloud-based pre-construction bidding app and management software that facilitates the bidding process between General Contractors, Subcontractors, & Suppliers.

Easy to use Parametric Software for early stage site planning & feasibility studies, available as a plugin for SketchUp and Rhino3D.

Providing an enterprise IoT platform that uses data-driven analytics to analyze and optimize workplace occupancy and wellbeing

Matterport is 3D reality-capture and digital-twin [AEC software](https://www.aecplustech.com/tools) for documenting buildings, construction sites, and properties. Teams can scan a space with a phone, supported 360 camera, or Matterport Pro3, then use the cloud platform to measure conditions, conduct remote walkthroughs, share visual records, and order BIM, CAD, or point-cloud deliverables. Its strongest AEC use cases include existing-condition capture, renovation planning, progress documentation, coordination, facilities handover, and reducing repeat site visits.

Smart task & project management

Software providing cloud-based energy management solutions

Dynamo for Revit is Autodesk's visual programming environment for computational BIM and model automation. Architects, engineers, contractors, and BIM/VDC teams connect nodes into graphs that can generate geometry, process data, check models, and repeat time-consuming Revit tasks. The open-source platform supports code-free graph building as well as DesignScript, Python, packages, and custom development, but reliable project use still depends on Revit-version compatibility, controlled inputs, tested dependencies, and clear ownership.

Present to clients on site with virtual AR full size design mock ups and architectural scaled models

Virtual inspections for permitting, licensing, and remote work

OpenAsset is the AI-powered marketing platform built for the AEC industry, pairing a centralized digital asset management system with Shred, its proposal generation engine. Firms use OpenAsset to organize project photography, employee bios, and past proposals in one source of truth, then let AI surface the best-fit assets for every new pitch. The result: faster Go/No-Go decisions, stronger RFP responses, and consistent, on-brand proposals — without adding integration overhead for already-stretched marketing teams

BIM 360 is Autodesk’s earlier [cloud collaboration software](https://www.aecplustech.com/tools/category/cloud-collaboration-platform) for document control, design coordination, field workflows, and project administration. Existing teams still need accurate login and module guidance, but Autodesk now recommends [Autodesk Forma](https://www.aecplustech.com/tools/autodesk-forma) for new projects while maintaining BIM 360 for existing work. This guide explains what remains available, where Docs, Admin, Field, Insight, and Project Management fit, how Glue’s retirement affects coordination, and why current pricing and download questions need product-specific answers.

Skema for SketchUp is an extension that delivers serious BIM with SketchUp ease. Designers start massing in SketchUp, move seamlessly into Skema for sophisticated block-and-stack planning, and return to SketchUp for design exploration of facades, rendering, etc.

building autonomous robots for the $1 trillion earthmoving industry. Built Robotics transform any excavator into a trenching robot with an easy-to-install aftermarket upgrade

Blueplan provides code compliance for the AEC industry using AI. Blueplan replaces expensive and inefficient processes with AI, saving time and money by creating comprehensive complaint reports in minutes.

SmartStruct is a next-generation construction management platform that unifies project tracking, team and HR management, trade communication, inventory control, and risk assessment into one automated dashboard

Stack multiple architectural or engineering drawings on top of each other so you can visually compare them. Automated drawing alignment makes side-by-side visual review fast and reliable, which catches clashes earlier — before they show up as RFIs, change orders, or field rework.

A simple, affordable firm management platform built specifically for architecture and engineering firms, to make it easy to track projects, enter time, create invoices, and gain more visibility into the health of their firm.
