When point clouds make sense
Point clouds are useful for renovations, surveying existing spaces, and checking model accuracy. SketchUp Pro Scan builds on familiar modeling and lets teams work with real-world references directly in the 3D scene.
Typical workflow
- prepare scan or survey data,
- import the point cloud,
- clip the working area,
- model from reference points,
- compare the model with reality.
For smaller teams, the key decision is whether standard SketchUp Pro is enough or whether scan-based workflows will be needed long-term.
