SketchUp Converter
With the SketchUp Converter add-on you can easily load a 3D model complete with textures into ALLPLAN. That lets you import plants, people, furniture, vehicles and more from the SketchUp Warehouse — with all their surfaces — and use them in visualisations. Import of versions 2016–2021 and 2026 is supported, and export up to version 2026.
