Custom SketchUp extensions for professionals

Design faster and make fewer mistakes.

I'm Nick Nijmeijer from ITCAD, a specialist in SketchUp automation. I work with professional SketchUp users who model daily and repeatedly encounter the same frustrations: Time-consuming workflows, error-prone processes, and repetitive manual tasks.

Tame your digital design tools

As an architect, (interior) designer, or BIM modeler, design software is your most important digital tool for bringing your ideas to life. While SketchUp works perfectly and is fantastic design software, your workflow is full of repetitive actions, making it error-prone. And let's be honest: Aren't you also more likely to spend time endlessly clicking, searching, retyping, and fixing minor errors than actually designing? You're not alone; I've experienced this myself as a BIM modeler.

As a professional, you encounter one of these frustrations every day. It's as if you could roll the dice.

  • Tiring repetitive work – the same old clicking, over and over again.
  • Fear of costly mistakes – small mistakes with big consequences.
  • Workflowchaos – detours, duplication of work and lost information.
  • Waste of time – the black hole that swallows up your workday as the deadline approaches.
  • Limited functionality – Want something that the standard tools can't.
  • Restless feeling – “I do this over and over again... this has to be faster.”

It's not your skill. The tool you're currently using simply isn't smart enough for your professional level. But luckily, there's a way to solve that: SketchUp automation. Make SketchUp work for you instead of against you. I transform it from generic one-size-fits-all software into your own toolkit, tailored to your specific workflow. The software adapts to you, not the other way around.

That's why I develop custom SketchUp extensions (plugins) that not only put repetitive actions on autopilot but also add missing functionality.

SketchUp frustrations before automation

Let SketchUp follow your workflow

Automate repetitive work and gain peace of mind in your design and work preparation process.

Time saving

Fewer clicks, more speed.

Fewer errors

Automation prevents human errors.

Job satisfaction

Your tools enhance your craftsmanship.

Why ITCAD?

You work in SketchUp every day. Your workflow and toolkit need to be perfect. I started as a BIM modeler and have now been working at the intersection of SketchUp, BIM modeling, and software development for over 10 years.

  • +10 years of experience with SketchUp, BIM & extensions
  • +30 extensions developed for professionals from various sectors
  • 1 goal extensions that do what you need

I apply all this practical knowledge to custom SketchUp extensions that adapt to your working style. The result: fewer clicks, fewer errors, and more fun.

Also possible: temporary reinforcement as a freelance 3D (BIM) modeler.
