To celebrate this milestone, we are inviting industry professionals to join our upcoming webinar:

Webinar: SketchUp in practice – integrated workflows with point clouds and Revit

  • Date: 10 June 2026
  • Time: 12:00 SAST

This webinar will focus on enhanced SketchUp workflows using Point Clouds features and the Revit Importer, helping professionals accelerate Scan to CAD and Revit-based workflows more efficiently.

Why integrated workflows matter

AEC projects are often challenged by:

  • ⁠Unexpected site conditions
  • Coordination conflicts between teams
  • Miscommunication during project execution
  • Time delays and budget overruns

Traditional workflows can create gaps between design, documentation and construction. Integrated digital workflows help close these gaps by improving collaboration and enabling more accurate project coordination from the start.

SketchUp’s growing ecosystem offers practical tools that allow project teams to combine intuitive 3D modelling with advanced data integration, helping teams work smarter and faster.

Accelerating scan to CAD processes

One of the key highlights of the webinar will be demonstrating how Scan Essentials can optimise Scan to CAD workflows.

Point cloud technology has become increasingly important for capturing real-world site conditions and converting them into accurate digital models. However, managing and interpreting scan data can often be complex and time-consuming.

AEC projects are often challenged by:

  • Capture as-built conditions in 3D more efficiently
  • Reduce manual modelling time
  • Improve accuracy during renovations and retrofits
  • Simplify point cloud visualisation and navigation
  • Create faster project turnarounds

By integrating point cloud data directly into SketchUp, teams can better understand existing site conditions before construction begins, reducing costly surprises later in the project lifecycle.

Improving Revit coordination in SketchUp

The webinar will also showcase how the Revit Importer enhances coordination between BIM and design workflows.
Revit remains one of the most widely used BIM platforms in the AEC industry. However, collaboration between Revit users and conceptual design teams can sometimes become difficult when working across multiple platforms.
SketchUp’s Revit Importer helps bridge this gap by allowing users to import Revit files directly into SketchUp for further modelling, visualisation and collaboration.

Benefits include:

  • Faster access to Revit project data
  • ⁠Improved design coordination between teams
  • Easier visual communication with stakeholders
  • Enhanced model analysis and review
  • Greater flexibility during conceptual development

This integrated workflow allows teams to maintain design intent while improving collaboration across disciplines.

Real-world efficiency gains

During the live webinar, our SketchUp experts will demonstrate practical examples of how integrated workflows can improve project efficiency across various project stages.

Attendees will gain insight into how firms are using SketchUp to:

  • Reduce rework and coordination errors
  • Improve communication between stakeholders
  • Speed up modelling and documentation processes
  • Enhance project visualisation for clients
  • Deliver projects with greater confidence and accuracy
The session is designed to provide valuable takeaways for professionals involved in architecture, engineering, construction and digital design workflows.

Join the conversation

This live session will also provide attendees with the opportunity to engage directly with our SketchUp specialists, ask questions and explore how these tools can support their own projects and workflows.
Whether you are already using SketchUp or looking to expand your digital capabilities, this webinar offers valuable insights into the future of integrated AEC workflows.
At Modena Media & Entertainment, we remain committed to empowering the industry with innovative technologies that improve productivity, collaboration and project outcomes across Sub-Saharan Africa.

We look forward to welcoming you to the session.
