SketchUp Workstation PC



SketchUp, originally developed by @Last Software and now owned by Trimble, remains one of the most popular and accessible 3D modeling tools for architects, interior designers, engineers, and creative professionals. Its clean interface, extensive model library, and integration with visualization plugins make it ideal for conceptual design, 3D drafting, and client presentations.

SketchUp’s real strength lies in its simplicity — it allows users to model quickly and visualize instantly. With the addition of V-Ray for SketchUp, Enscape, or Twinmotion, it becomes a powerful visualization solution capable of high-quality, photorealistic rendering.

Recommended Hardware for SketchUp
CPU (Processor)


SketchUp is primarily single-threaded, meaning it benefits more from high clock speeds than from multiple cores. While rendering plugins may take advantage of additional cores, modeling and viewport performance rely mostly on single-thread performance.

- Recommended: Intel Core i7 / i9 or AMD Ryzen 7 / 9 (5 GHz+ boost speeds ideal)
- High-end option: Intel Core Ultra 9 or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X for mixed modeling and rendering
- Budget option: Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 for lighter workloads


GPU (Graphics Card)

SketchUp’s viewport performance and visual experience depend heavily on the GPU — particularly its OpenGL capabilities. Professional-grade GPUs offer better stability, anti-aliasing quality, and certified driver support.

- Recommended: NVIDIA RTX A2000 – A4000 (professional series)
- Alternative: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 / 4080 for visualization plugins like Enscape or V-Ray

Avoid: Integrated Intel graphics, as they may cause viewport artifacts or instability


Memory (RAM)

SketchUp models themselves are not memory-intensive, but rendering, large textures, and extensions can increase demand.

- Minimum: 16 GB
- Recommended: 32 GB
- Heavy rendering or multitasking: 64 GB


Storage (Drives)

SketchUp benefits from a responsive storage system for fast file loading, autosave recovery, and render caching.

- Primary Drive: NVMe SSD (1 TB) for OS, SketchUp, and project files
- Secondary Drive: Additional SSD or HDD for archiving and backup
