Augmented reality

Put the project on the table. Or in the living room.

In one tap, the model leaves the screen and takes its place in the room. Your client walks around it, steps closer, pictures it, straight from the browser.

Augmented reality on iPhone and iPad, and on Android with the Chrome browser. On Android, other browsers show the model in 3D, without the augmented reality mode.

Features

Everything you need to convince, nothing you don’t

    Pick up to six groups (roof, furniture, options) that your client can show or hide.

  • White label Paid plans

    Your logo and your website on every model, instead of ours.

  • Embed on your site Paid plans

    A code to paste to show the model in your pages, at any screen width.

  • Same link, updated model

    Fix the project and republish: the link and QR code you already sent keep working.

  • View counts Paid plans

  • Lighter files

    Automatic compression: the demo model goes from 10.5 MB to 1.7 MB and opens fast, even on 4G.

FAQ

You may be wondering

Does my client need to install anything?

No. The link opens in any recent browser, on a phone, tablet or computer. No app, no account.

Which formats are supported?

SketchUp, with the extension (SketchUp 2021 or later, on Windows and macOS). STEP, IFC, OBJ and GLB, right in your browser from your online space.

Do I need SketchUp to use Smart Web Export?

No. The SketchUp extension is one way in among others: STEP, IFC, OBJ and GLB files are published without it.

How large can a file be?

Up to 52 MB per model, once compressed. Most projects are far smaller.

Who can see my models?

The people you give the link to: its address cannot be guessed. You can pause or delete it at any time.

How long does a model stay online?

7 days with the free account. With a paid plan, you choose how long, or no limit at all.

Can I change plan or cancel?

Yes, at any time, from your space. Subscriptions are monthly or annual, with no commitment beyond the period paid.

Can I show my own logo?

Yes, with any paid plan: your logo and a link to your website replace ours on your models.

Which phones support augmented reality?

iPhone and iPad, and Android phones and tablets with the Chrome browser. On Android, other browsers show the model in 3D as usual, without the augmented reality mode.

How do I install the SketchUp extension?

Download the .rbz file from this page, then in SketchUp: Extensions, Extension Manager, Install Extension. The extension is signed, so SketchUp recognises it. It is also available on SketchUcation.
