SketchUp DiffusionLABS lets you harness the transformative power of AI in SketchUp to create rendered images in seconds.

In your day-to-day work, you may need to communicate your ideas clearly and quickly. With nearly endless design possibilities, we’re here to help you balance the time you spend designing with creating representative images that showcase your best, most creative solutions.

SketchUp and AI

AI has the power to expand your creative potential and spark new possibilities. We are committed to driving innovation and making AI accessible where it demonstrates the potential to change work for the better.

While AI doesn’t have a creative vision of its own, it can help you focus yours. New to #SketchUpLabs, Diffusion brings practical generative AI to SketchUp. It offers a new way to quickly generate visuals to inspire your creative process, and it’s compatible with your design journey.

Put your idea in the spotlight

With a text prompt and a simple template, you can generate photorealistic or stylized images to showcase your distinct idea. Choose from eight default styles to define the aesthetic of your generated images.

Instead of searching for something similar to your idea and trying to show clients how the concept is “similar but different,” you can more accurately represent your unique creation.

Quickly move from concept sketches to rendered design options. Use the navigation arrows to view design concepts created with SketchUp Diffusion.

Go beyond creative blocks

If you’re stuck for ideas or interested in exploring new possibilities, find inspiration by typing a description of the image you’d like to see. Let the AI come up with new concepts for you. Settings sliders let you fine-tune your image output. Keep the geometry of your model or take your text prompt to the next level.

The settings sliders let you decide how much influence the prompts will have and how much adherence the models will have to the generated images.

For example, let’s say you have a basic massing model and want to generate more concepts for the form and finalize the design. Describe the look you want for the building with a text prompt and play around with the settings sliders. Setting “prompt influence” and easing it to “respect model geometry” will follow your description closely, but will change your model in the generated images. This will allow you to see new elements that can inspire you in a whole new way.

The settings work in the other direction, too. If you’re moving forward with your model and want to learn more about context, lighting, and materiality, turn on “respect model geometry” to produce images that show the exact model with the finishes and context you define.
