SketchUp was developed by startup company Software of Boulder, Colorado, co-founded in 1999 by Brad Schell and Joe Esch. The program includes drawing layout functionality, surface rendering in different 'styles', and enables placement of its models within Google Earth. Owned by Trimble Inc., the program is currently available as a web-based application, SketchUp Free, and three paid subscriptions, SketchUp Shop, SketchUp Pro, and SketchUp Studio, each with increasing functionality. SketchUp is a suite of subscription products that include SketchUp Pro Desktop, a 3D modeling computer-aided design (CAD) program for a broad range of drawing and design applications - including architectural, interior design, industrial and product design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering, theater, film and video game development.
