Style Builder will soon disappear from SketchUp

Style Builder will soon disappear from SketchUp’s various Subscriptions.

As of December 1, 2024, the SketchUp application Style Builder will no longer be (re)developed and will therefore disappear from SketchUp Pro, Studio and Higher Education Subscriptions.

This brings an end to the application that allowed you to convert your own pen, pencil or marker strokes into your own SketchUp style. Fortunately, with SketchUp Diffusion, Ambient Occlusion and the built-in and customizable SketchUp styles, you still have plenty of creative tools to maintain your own unique SketchUp presentation style.

About SketchUp

SketchUp is powerful and easy-to-learn 3D design software for anyone who wants to create, share, or present 3D models. Whether you’re an architect, designer, contractor, or hobbyist, SketchUp offers the flexibility and tools to bring your ideas to life. The intuitive interface makes it simple to start modelling quickly, even if you have no prior experience with 3D design.

SketchUp is extendable with plugins that make your work easier, faster, and more enjoyable. The 3D Warehouse, an extensive online library, provides access to millions of free models that can be imported directly into your project, saving time and sparking creativity. Additionally, the software is compatible with powerful rendering tools like Enscape and V-Ray, allowing you to create high-quality, photorealistic images of your designs. This compatibility makes SketchUp ideal for creating presentations that impress clients and stakeholders.

Furthermore, SketchUp offers collaboration capabilities with team members, both locally and in the cloud, through Trimble Connect. This enhances efficiency and ensures that everyone involved is always up-to-date with the latest version of the project. With SketchUp, you can not only visualize your ideas but also communicate and realize them effectively.
