SketchUp guide

Render your SketchUp models in minutes, instead of days

Start from a clean SketchUp screenshot, viewport capture, or exported scene and turn it into a precise architectural render with modes, presets, and controlled edits in Rendervi.

Workflow

How to move from SketchUp to a finished render workflow

Explore how you can accelerate your SketchUp workflow with Rendervi.

Clean SketchUp source view before AI rendering

Start from a clean SketchUp view

Export the model view, screenshot, or scene that already communicates the design clearly. The closer the input is to the view you want to present, the faster the result.

First architectural render generated from a SketchUp source view

Generate the first render fast

Use Rendervi modes to move from sketchup model views, white mode scenes, and exported perspective shots into a client-ready architectural render without managing long prompt chains.

Saved preset view in Rendervi for keeping SketchUp renders consistent across angles

Save presets for repeat views

Once the environment and material direction look right, save them as presets so the next views in the project stay consistent.

Refine only the areas that need control

Use inpainting when you need to adjust a specific part of the image, keep the rest of the frame stable, and move faster through revisions.

AI-studio

The first fully equipped render AI studio for architects

Stop relying on AI image tools that drift away from your design and create inconsistent results from one view to the next.

Studio is the place where we gather together all of the main tools you might need to create a great images with AI. From ideation to enhancement, with or without prompts - all creative tools in one page. With team access, project history and great user experience.

As alternative for a Studio we have a quick workflows that can help you do the job fast if you need it just one time.

SketchUp AI rendering questions

Still not sure? You will get 12 free credits after sign up, so you can try the studio for yourself at no cost.

Can Rendervi create AI renders from SketchUp exports?

Yes. You can start from sketchup model views, white mode scenes, and exported perspective shots and use Rendervi to turn that asset into a stronger architectural render with more atmosphere, material clarity, and presentation value.

What should I export from SketchUp before using Rendervi?

The best starting point is usually the view that already communicates the design clearly: sketchup scenes that already frame the design, materials, and camera intent. That keeps the camera and design direction grounded from the start.

Can I keep editing the image after the first SketchUp render pass?

Yes. After the initial render, you can use Rendervi workflows for material changes, daylight adjustments, and overall render enhancement without throwing away the same view.
