[ Why it exists ]

Redraw is the largest AI software for architecture in Latin America. We create images that impress and win over clients. But over time, our team noticed a problem shared by most users:

Everyone wants AI-Oscar-worthy results, but nobody has time to prepare the 3D model.

The plugin optimizes all of this for you:
Camera
Lighting
Texturing
3D model
Image generation

What used to take hours, the plugin does in seconds.

[ Presets ]

Automatic SketchUp setup

The plugin bundles the settings of a tested, approved project to pull the best results out of the AI. You get lighting, line and camera presets, plus pre-configured scenes.

[ Photography ]

Image generation with photography controls

Stop taking screenshots of your projects. Redraw Capture brings the same controls used by professional cameras into your model.

[ Lighting ]

Lighting blocks

The plugin ships with lighting blocks made for AI, to help you design day to day with the final render in mind.

[ Mirrors ]

Mirror creation

Mirrors were always a problem for AI rendering. With Redraw Capture you get full precision: pick where you want the mirror and the plugin creates the reflection right in your model, the way the AI needs to render it.

[ Performance ]

Project optimization and organization

In a few clicks, a heavy project becomes light and fast with automatic optimization. You also organize your project's layers.

[ FAQ ]

Questions? We've got answers.

Why is Redraw the best AI software for architecture, engineering and interior design?

Redraw stands out on AI because it centralizes the best of architecture in one place. It also has in-house AI models built for architecture, going beyond generic tools and delivering results that surprise even the most demanding team.

Do I need a Redraw subscription to use the plugin?

No. Although the plugin was built for Redraw users, we offer it for free to help anyone who wants to render with AI.

Do I need a specific version of SketchUp to use the plugin?

No. Redraw Capture works with the version of SketchUp you already use, with no specific edition required. Just install it in your current setup and start preparing your captures.

What does the plugin not do for me?

The plugin does not model your project, nor swap blocks and textures. For the best result, it's highly recommended to set up your 3D model with real textures and quality blocks.

What is Redraw Capture for SketchUp?

It's a free extension that prepares your SketchUp model for AI rendering. You adjust camera, lighting, composition and materials inside SketchUp and export an optimized capture straight to Redraw.

Is the plugin really free?

Yes. Redraw Capture is 100% free. You install it, prepare your captures and send them to render on Redraw.

How do I prepare a SketchUp model for AI rendering?

Adjust camera and lens, enable two-point perspective, set up shadows and lighting, frame with the safe frame and the rule of thirds, and apply the project-type preset (interior, exterior or architecture). Redraw Capture does all of this in a single panel, optimizing the image before it goes to the AI.

Why do my AI renders look distorted or unreal?

Most of the time the problem is the input image, not the AI. Poor framing, weak lighting or a heavy model make the AI “guess” what to render. Redraw Capture fixes this at the source, delivering a clean capture with correct perspective, light and composition.

Does Redraw Capture work for interior and exterior projects?

Yes. It has specific presets for interiors, exteriors, architectural views and textures, each tuned to how the AI interprets that kind of scene.

Does the plugin make my SketchUp file lighter?

Yes. It purges unused resources, cuts unnecessary weight and organizes layers and tags, making the model lighter and faster to work with.

In which languages is the plugin available?

In Portuguese, English and Spanish.

How do I send a SketchUp capture straight to Redraw?

With the capture set up, Redraw Capture sends the image to Redraw in a few clicks: no exporting, re-importing or manual file tweaks.
