End of Support - Style Builder

What is changing with Style Builder?

Style Builder is no longer included when downloading SketchUp and will no longer be supported.

Why is SketchUp no longer offering or supporting the Style Builder?

Style Builder’s waning use over the years signaled a need for us to modernize the ways SketchUp helps you express yourself. While Style Builder is no more, style is as important as ever. The SketchUp team is making investments in a broad range of visualization capabilities that include graphics performance improvement, section display, materials, environments, and generative AI rendering.

Does SketchUp offer features that can do what Style Builder did?

The Styles Panel in SketchUp offers a great selection of predefined styles to add personality to your designs, such as Default Styles, Sketchy Edges, Ambient Occlusion, and more. It also includes tools for creating or editing a Style. See Choosing a Style for more information.

Can I still access the Style Builder application?

SketchUp for Desktop 2023 and 2024 will still include Style Builder as part of their download packages. Once those versions are no longer supported, Style Builder will no longer be available for download. For more information, see SketchUp’s End of Support Policy.
