Use the SketchUp connector in Claude
Describe a shape in plain language and Claude builds a new .skp file you can download and open in SketchUp. It checks the build step by step and asks before saving a model you have not reviewed.
Use it when
- You want a quick 3D block-out of furniture or a simple building in SketchUp
- You have a sketch or dimensions and want them turned into a SketchUp file
- You want to iterate on a model by describing changes in the same chat

Model a 36 in wide by 18 in deep side table with four tapered legs, 22 in tall.
Here is the plan: a 36 x 18 x 22 in side table, a 1.5 in thick top, and four legs tapering from 2 in to 1.25 in square. I will build the top first, then the legs, and check each part against these dimensions before saving the file for your review.
