What you’ll learn at 3D Basecamp Summit

Discover how to bring every vision to life during a diverse range of on-site sessions covering topics like:

Interoperability and ecosystem integration

Break down the silos between software. We’re moving into a future of high-fidelity data exchange, where model intelligence remains intact from the first sketch to the final build.

Reality capture and “Scan-to-BIM”

Bridge the gap between the jobsite and the office! We’re diving deep into the “Scan-to-BIM” workflow, demonstrating how modern hardware transforms physical environments into rich, actionable digital models.

The generative AI frontier

Discover how AI acts as a co-pilot within SketchUp to accelerate the creative process and eliminate repetitive tasks. Learn how to leverage emerging tools to boost efficiency without losing your creative signature.

Advanced workflows for engineering & fabrication

Think you know what SketchUp can do? Think bigger. Your designs are buildable with workflows that bridge the gap between architectural intent and physical execution.

Customization via codes and extensions

“Out-of-the-box” features shouldn’t define your limits. The SketchUp ecosystem allows you to create tailored tools to solve unique challenges specific to your business goals.

Innovation in action: discover all of Dimensions

Uncover the “big picture” view of the industry. Learn how Trimble can connect creative designs to the entire “constructible workflow”.
