Turn your SketchUp model into BIM in minutes
With Qonic, you can convert your SketchUp geometry into smart IFC elements, enrich them with data and keep working just like you’re used to.
Only faster, cleaner and ready for coordination, reporting and handover.
From SketchUp to BIM in 3 easy steps
1. Import your .SKP file
Drop your SketchUp model into Qonic. It opens directly in the browser, no rework required.
2. Convert geometry to smart BIM elements
Use Qonic’s classification tools to turn faces and solids into walls, slabs, beams or custom objects, fully IFC-compliant and ready for reporting and quantities.
3. Keep modelling if needed
Want to tweak dimensions, add missing elements or copy existing parts? Qonic lets you keep modelling in the browser with intuitive tools that feel familiar, but with full BIM logic behind them.
Why use Qonic to upgrade your SketchUp model?
- No redrawing: Keep your design intact and save hours of work
- Smart BIM structure: Turn raw geometry into usable building elements
- IFC-native: Export to openBIM formats without losing data
- Cloud-based: Work on any device, no installs needed
- Intuitive tools: SketchUp-like modelling meets BIM logic
- Faster workflows: Quantities, views, sections and filters in seconds
From design freedom to data you can trust
SketchUp is great for intuitive modelling, but projects need more than geometry. Qonic makes it easy to add data and get accurate quantities:
- Generate clean, structured take-offs from any classified model
- Tailor reports to match industry standards like Uniclass or NRM
- Use visual feedback to verify quantities and detect errors instantly

Tips: Getting the most out of BIM — starting from SketchUp
- Model cleanly: Use groups and components in SketchUp, it makes classification smoother.
- Think in systems: Start tagging basic building elements (walls, floors, roofs) to map them easily
- Enrich only what matters: Not every object needs data. Focus on what supports decisions.
- Use scopes: In Qonic, scopes help you isolate floors, phases or systems for easy navigation.
- Start small: You don’t need a fully detailed BIM model to get value. Even basic classification enables reporting and coordination.
Part of the Trimble 0–60 Challenge
As one of the finalists in the Trimble 0–60 Challenge, we’re validating how SketchUp-based design models can retain their geometry, be enriched with data in Qonic, and serve directly as a reliable BIM base—ready for quantification, planning, and coordination.
A new path from intent to execution.
