3D Blocks: turn any photo into a SketchUp model

Found the perfect chair in a reference image? The Blocks tab converts the photo into a textured 3D model and imports it straight into your scene.

The Blocks tab solves a classic: the client wants a specific furniture piece that doesn't exist in the 3D Warehouse. Send a reference photo and the AI rebuilds the object in 3D, textured, ready to import into the scene at the right scale.
