Generative AI is transforming the way that Design and Architectural Engineering and Construction professionals get things done. AI Render integrates this technology into the SketchUp you know and love to help accelerate the creation of compelling visuals whenever you need them. Whether you are suffering from a block in your creative process, or need some extra visuals to help support the narrative you’ve established in your project, or just want to fully express your unique creative vision, AI Render can help.

Clicking AI Render () from the expanded toolset opens AI Render in full-screen mode. When you first open AI Render, your model view remains and the AI Render toolbar and panel options will appear. You can still orbit, navigate around your model, and change model styles before generating images.

After you generate output, tapping Share opens your iPad’s share options.

AI Render in iPad contains a few more options than the desktop version:

  • Opacity () - Controls the opacity of the generated image displayed on screen, allowing you to blend your Diffusion generated image with your SketchUp model behind it.
  • Share () - Opens the native iOS sharing options, allowing you to send or save the current on screen Diffusion.
