3Dconnexion is proud to announce a major enhancement to SketchUp with the addition of 3Dconnexion device support in the web-based version of SketchUp, providing architecture and construction professionals with an intuitive and immersive 3D modeling experience.

Whether using SketchUp for Desktop or SketchUp for Web, on Windows or macOS. This update enables users to experience a new level of precision and fluidity, allowing architects, designers, and engineers to focus on creating transformative designs.

3Dconnexion’s innovative input devices, and particularly the SpaceMouse®, provide an unrivalled design experience and comfort of use for creating and perfecting both 3D models and 2D plans. The newly integrated support in SketchUp for Web offers real-time, intuitive control that enhances user understanding and efficiency while working on detailed modelling tasks, material application or complex scene setups.

"We're excited to announce that SketchUp for Web now supports 3Dconnexion devices," said Robert Stadie, Product Manager at 3Dconnexion. "This collaboration ensures that SketchUp users have access to the best tools to elevate their design capabilities and achieve greater efficiency in their day-to-day workflows, whether they are working in the desktop or in the browser-based version."

3Dconnexion has long been a trusted partner for professionals in engineering, architecture and construction, providing tools designed to optimize precision, creativity, and efficiency. Its devices are tailored to the unique needs of design professionals, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows across multiple software platforms.

“We are proud to continue supporting the architecture and construction community by both improving our existing solutions, and expanding our portfolio of supported applications” said Antonio Pascucci, CEO at 3Dconnexion. “By adding support for SketchUp for Web, we’re reinforcing our commitment to equipping professionals with tools that not only improve their user experience, but also foster creativity in their designs.”

Enhanced Design Workflows, Anywhere

SketchUp for Web, a versatile and accessible browser-based version of SketchUp, allows users to design on any device, at any time. The addition of 3Dconnexion device support ensures that professionals can maintain the same design precision and intuitive control in a web environment as they would on a desktop.

Key benefits of this integration include:

  • Seamless navigation of 3D models and 2D plans thanks to the unique 6-Degrees-of- Freedom sensor.
  • Faster workflows by reducing repetitive tasks, leveraging programmable buttons and customizable features.
  • Improved precision and understanding by experiencing a more fluid, tactile connection to 3D models.
