Industry-standard 3D software reaches new
growth milestone
LAS
VEGAS, Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Trimble® (Nasdaq: TRMB) today announced that its
SketchUp® 3D modeling software surpassed one
million active subscribers. The growth is supported by
SketchUp's transition to a subscription business model, the
continuous introduction of innovative product features, and
Trimble's customer-centric focus on delivering value to the
architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. The
announcement was made at Trimble Dimensions User Conference and 3D
Basecamp.
Subscription offerings, including monthly subscriptions, lower
the barrier to entry, enabling a larger global audience to now
access SketchUp. In addition to greater accessibility through the
subscription model, Trimble has introduced a number of innovative
products and features to bolster its offerings. The
collaboration-centric, link-sharing feature allows users to share
3D models as easily as one can share a web URL. More than 650,000
users* have shared 1.7 million links since its launch, and 3.8
million users have opened those links. In addition to its popular
desktop application, Trimble introduced the SketchUp for iPad
application to its portfolio, enabling 'on the go' users to
access SketchUp in the office, at a coffee shop or on the job site
while also reaching new customers via the Apple App Store.
"We've found the subscription business model allows us to
consistently deliver new features, services and integrations that
empower our AEC customers to communicate design ideas better and
work more efficiently and collaboratively with all stakeholders on
a construction project," said Christopher
Cronin, VP & GM, architecture, design and education at
Trimble SketchUp. "The response from our customers to the lower
up-front investment, reliable budgeting and consistent delivery of
visualization, collaboration, interoperability and now, AI
enhancements, have been key to us surpassing this milestone."
Trimble's delivery of new AI features and workflows is also
fueling this growth. This includes SketchUp Diffusion [Labs], a
Stable Diffusion-based generative AI service that uses a SketchUp
model, text prompts or stylistic presets to generate images. It
gives architects and designers more time for creative
exploration and iteration, and has had more than 200,000 users
and generated more than 13 million images since its launch in
December 2023. Additionally, 3D
Warehouse Image Search is an image-driven search function that uses
AI to quickly sift through millions of pre-built models in
SketchUp's 3D Warehouse to help users easily find the right
products for their designs.
As part of the Trimble ecosystem of connected construction
solutions, SketchUp is a starting point for 3D design and visual
storytelling that can be utilized by all stakeholders, from
concept through construction. The software is used across all
project phases and by a wide variety of team members and technical
skill sets.
