How Will AI Impact the Future of SketchUp Modeling?
-
Lately, I’ve seen a lot of discussion around AI tools in design—especially those that can generate 3D assets, textures, or even complete renders with just a prompt. Some people feel that this could make traditional SketchUp modeling skills less relevant, while others believe AI will only serve as a support tool to speed up workflows.
From my perspective, SketchUp’s strength has always been in its intuitive modeling and community-driven plugins. AI might handle quick concepts or automate repetitive tasks, but I think designers who understand structure, geometry, and visualization will always stay ahead.
Do you see AI as a threat to SketchUp modeling, or as an opportunity to expand what we can create? Curious to hear what the SketchUcation community thinks.

It will hopefully become a companion during the design and ideation phase. Helping you identify issues and make suggestions.
World will be incredibly boring if it becomes a simple replacement.

If ai can interrogate the model for errors and remove something like duplicated geometry on the fly, it will do a lot for our workflow while reducing a lot of the stress and memory bloat.
