Trimble have announced that that Scan Essentials has been added to a number of SketchUp subscriptions. Students, educators and staff will have access to an even larger ecosystem of products, including SketchUp for Desktop, Web and iPad, LayOut, Trimble Connect, PreDesign, Sefaira, 3D Warehouse, Extension Warehouse, Mobile and XR Viewers, and now Scan Essentials.
Scan Essentials is an extension that adds a huge amount of value early on in your workflow because it lets you import, view, and model directly on point cloud data in SketchUp—accurately capturing the “as-built” condition of your project. It equips first-timers and pros to quickly turn rich point cloud data into accurate 3D models with ease through a variety of file formats (E57, RWP, LAZ, TZF, LAS, PLY). You no longer have to waste time painstakingly modeling contextual details—simply import your point cloud, and model directly on it using SketchUp’s native toolbox.
