      Hi everyone,

      I wanted to share a quick update. Last week, I presented AI Enhance 1.1 at the SketchUp 3D Summit in Denver, where I talked about making AI rendering more practical inside SketchUp workflows.

      The goal with AI Enhance is to create a better AI rendering tool and experience while staying inside SketchUp.

      A lot of AI rendering workflows still involve exporting screenshots, jumping between tools, rewriting prompts, and trying to keep the result close to the original model. AI Enhance is focused on reducing that friction by letting users generate and refine AI visuals directly from their SketchUp views.

      Version 1.1 is now live and includes:

      • Prompt Builder
      • Look Builder
      • Markup and editing tools
      • Shared team credits
      • General workflow improvements

      Screenshot 2026-06-26 151107.png

      The main focus is control: keeping the image closer to the model, the camera view, and the design intent while making the workflow faster and easier to use.

      I’d love feedback from SketchUp users on where AI rendering fits into your workflow and what would make this type of tool more useful inside SketchUp.

      Thanks,

        Just tried. Easy to use. I like the Styles.

        Input:
        fecb2322-bb60-46cb-b726-99900e2eacc5-image.jpeg

        Output:
        Scene_1_2026-06-29T13-40-27-413Z.png

        Clever tool. Definitely has a SketchUp vibe to it. Much better than the vanilla AI render in SketchUp.

          Looks very sharp. Still not my cup of Darjeeling though.

              My ten penceworth is that small businesses will love this sort of thing, small outlay stretched over use makes a LOT of sense imho. As long as you can get through the language required to get good results which Rich has proven, is possible.
              Luckily we hobby/old phart users have Rayscaper so with a bit of luck we can all get what we need/want. Like I said ^, it looks sharp and I hope you get a LOT of traction going forwards. Just clarifying on my short response above.
