SketchUp Viewer

Description

Step into 3D with the SketchUp Viewer – and see the project in its environment. The Viewer app for AR enables you and your client to experience your project just the way you would after construction.

What Works Well

This app offers users the ability to export SketchUp files directly to a mobile device and view in AR as well as experience walkthroughs in first person mode.

Level of Integration

Guidance Level 2
What does this mean?

The Level of Integration indicates how much the developer has connected the AR app with the real world environment.

For instance, a Level 1 AR app would bring a pre-created object or projection into the viewer’s space. A Level 2 AR app might incorporate a connection between object and physical surroundings, such as anchoring to a particular plane or surface. A Level 3 AR app would rely on several connections to the surroundings, including functional awareness of conditions in the space. A Level 4 AR app would employ increased awareness of conditions and real-time mapping of content onto the physical environment. And a Level 5 AR app would employ all of the above and allow for sophisticated real-time integration of real world and generated content.
