What VR Sketch is

VR Sketch is a SketchUp extension for creating, editing, and viewing models in virtual reality. An open SketchUp model can be sent into VR without importing or exporting, while changes synchronize between SketchUp and VR in real time. In VR, users can draw, push and pull, move, copy, and scale with SketchUp tools. Supported headsets listed by the maker include HTC Vive, Valve Index, Oculus Rift, Meta Quest, and Pico Neo 3, with some support depending on platform or connection mode. SketchUp 2017 through 2026 are listed as supported on Windows and Mac. Collaboration can happen locally between a VR user and someone at the SketchUp screen, or remotely through uploaded models with avatars and voice over IP. Cloud sessions allow annotations but not model editing. Uploading requires a non-trial license, while viewing another shared model needs no license. Local files work offline. Plans include free access for students and educators, Hobbyist at €9/month, Standard at €45/month, and Enterprise at €100/month.
