[Import & Export Plug-In Downloads](https://support.lumion.com/downloads/import-export-plug-in-downloads?hsLang=en-us) # Download Lumion LiveSync for SketchUp ## Download Steps and Version Support ![](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/16633278344348_1753908488299-1.gif)   **Note:** Previously, %%*LiveSync%%* and Lumion View were included in a single plugin. Lumion View has since evolved into [Axogram](https://lumion.com/product/axogram), while the latest %%*LiveSync%%* plugin once again contains only the %%LiveSync%% functionality. Choose the plugin that matches your workflow and software versions. ### 1. Downloading LiveSync The current %%*Lumion LiveSync for SketchUp%%* plugin connects your SketchUp model to Lumion in real time. This is the go-forward version of the plugin and supports: - SketchUp 2025 and newer. - Lumion 2025 and newer. It installs %%*LiveSync%%* only.  The current plugin can be downloaded from the [Trimble Extension Warehouse](https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/606f2587-2b62-4405-a0f9-74c228dda6ed/lumion-live-sync-for-sketch-up) or from this article (below). #### Select the import method for your version of SketchUp and Lumion | #### SketchUp version | #### Import method | | --- | --- | | **SketchUp 2026** **SketchUp 2025** | **Lumion 2024.4.3 or newer:** Download **[*Lumion LiveSync for SketchUp 26.1.8.51712*](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Lumion_LiveSync_for_SketchUp_26.1.8.51712.rbz?hsLang=en-us)** or import as .SKP. | | **SketchUp 2025** | **Lumion 2024.0 to 2024.4.3:** Use *LiveSync for SketchUp 2025* (3.60.786), which is available [**here**](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Plugins%20for%20Download/SketchUp/signed_lumion_livesync_for_sketchup_3.60.786.rbz?hsLang=en-us)  or import as .SKP. **Note:** Using the previous *LiveSync* version (3.60.785) with SketchUp 2025 may result in issues with the model or materials **Lumion 12.0 - 12.5: *LiveSync*** | | **SketchUp 2024** | **Lumion 2024.0 or newer: *LiveSync* or import .SKP file.** **Lumion 2023.0 to Lumion 2023.4.4:** import .SKP file. **Lumion 12.0 - 12.5: *LiveSync*** SketchUp 2024 no longer provides for saving to an earlier version.   From Lumion 12.0 or newer you may be able to import your model from the Skp file. However, please see [Section 3.11:  Why might some part of your model in SketchUp not show in Lumion?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360007745233.json?hsLang=en-us#Why_might_some_part_of_your_model_in_SketchUp_not) in  - **Knowledge Base:** [Model import guidelines for SketchUp](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360007745233.json?hsLang=en-us) | | **SketchUp 2023** | **Lumion 2023.0 or newer: *LiveSync* or import .SKP file** **Lumion 12.0 - 12.5: *LiveSync*** or import .SKP file (File -\> Save as -\> SketchUp 2020 format) | | **SketchUp 2022** | **Lumion 12.0 or newer: *LiveSync* or import .SKP file** | | **SketchUp 2021** | **Lumion 12.0 or newer: *LiveSync* or import .SKP file** |   ### 2.

Supercharge *SketchUp* with one plug-in!** The *Lumion LiveSync for SketchUp* plug-in allows you to model your *SketchUp* design in a beautiful environment that’s so realistic, it’s like you’re pushing and pulling real-life buildings into shape.   See section 1.3: LiveSync (only) for SketchUp: (above) for supported versions. ![SketchUp Vector Logo - (.SVG + .PNG) - FindVectorLogo.Com](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/sketchup-vector-logo-2022_1753903913318-Aug-15-2025-09-57-50-1578-PM.png?width=180&height=100&name=sketchup-vector-logo-2022_1753903913318-Aug-15-2025-09-57-50-1578-PM.png) ***Lumion LiveSync for SketchUp*** Immediately set up a live, real-time visualization between *SketchUp* and Lumion. Change the *SketchUp* model’s shape and you’ll see these changes taking place, in real-time, in Lumion’s breathtaking, lifelike environment. As you continue modeling in *SketchUp*, you can simultaneously view your project in Lumion surrounded by an immersive, fully featured landscape (mountains, water, grass). Beautiful materials make the design 'pop', while photo-realistic lighting suddenly heightens your sense of environment, realism and depth. **Real-time materials synchronization** Instantly breathe life into your synced *SketchUp* model by applying any of Lumion’s 1000+ high-definition materials in the Lumion editor. As you continue to develop the design, you can tweak the materials exactly to your liking and then save your material layouts for future rendering. **Live point-of-view synchronization** *LiveSync* now enables live point-of-view synchronization. Turn it on and immediately adopt the *SketchUp* camera perspective, making your work easier, faster and more enjoyable. **Automatic model imports** When establishing the *LiveSync* connection, Lumion will automatically import your *SketchUp* model. Continue working on and modifying your project even after you turn off *LiveSync*, and easily save the file as an .LS for future rendering or development. ### See Also: - **Knowledge Base:** [Model import guidelines for SketchUp](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360007745233.json?hsLang=en-us) - **Knowledge Base:** [How does LiveSync 3 work with existing imported models in Lumion Scenes?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360003455314.json?hsLang=en-us) - **Knowledge Base:** [How do you replace imported 'proxy' objects with Library objects?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360003455214.json?hsLang=en-us) - **Video Tutorial:** [LiveSync for SketchUp: Model synchronization](https://support.lumion.com/video-tutorials/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360006701753.json?hsLang=en-us) - **Video Tutorial:**[LiveSync for SketchUp: Camera synchronization](https://support.lumion.com/video-tutorials/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360006610254.json?hsLang=en-us) - **Video Tutorial:**[LiveSync for SketchUp: Materials synchronization](https://support.lumion.com/video-tutorials/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360006696733.json?hsLang=en-us)   - [Visit our other Sections](https://support.lumion.com/downloads/visit-our-other-sections?hsLang=en-us) - [Lumion Installation Downloads](https://support.lumion.com/downloads/lumion-installation-downloads?hsLang=en-us) - [Import & Export Plug-In Downloads](https://support.lumion.com/downloads/import-export-plug-in-downloads?hsLang=en-us) [![Lumion logo](https://support.lumion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo%20horizontal%202023-1.png?width=1353&height=640&name=Logo%20horizontal%202023-1.png "Lumion logo")](https://lumion.com/) [mailto:email@email.com](mailto:email@email.com) Copyright © 2026, Lumion - Act3D B.V. #### Product [Plans and pricing](https://lumion.com/product/buy) [Discover Lumion](https://lumion.com/product/discover-lumion) [Compatibility](https://lumion.com/compatibility/) [System Requirements](https://lumion.com/product/system-requirements) [Find a reseller](https://lumion.com/about/find-reseller) [Free trial](https://lumion.com/product/free-trial) #### Solutions [Architectural design](https://lumion.com/product/architectural-design) [Interior design](https://lumion.com/product/interior-design) [Landscape architecture](https://lumion.com/product/landscape-architecture) [Urban planning](https://lumion.com/product/urban-planning) [3D rendering](https://lumion.com/product/3d-rendering-software) [Education](https://lumion.com/product/educational-licenses) #### Compatibility [Trimble SketchUp](https://lumion.com/compatibility/sketchup-rendering) [Autodesk Revit](https://lumion.com/compatibility/revit-rendering) [Graphisoft ArchiCAD](https://lumion.com/compatibility/archicad-rendering) [Rhinoceros](https://lumion.com/compatibility/rhino-rendering) [Autodesk Autocad](https://lumion.com/compatibility/autocad-rendering) [Autodesk FormIt Pro](https://lumion.com/compatibility/lumion-for-autodesk-formit-pro) [Nemetschek Allplan](https://lumion.com/compatibility/allplan-rendering) [Nemetschek Vectorworks](https://lumion.com/compatibility/vectorworks-rendering) [BricsCAD](https://lumion.com/compatibility/bricscad-rendering) [3D Studio Max](https://lumion.com/compatibility/3ds-max-rendering) #### Resources [Made with Lumion](https://lumion.com/made-with-lumion) [Tutorials](https://support.lumion.com/video-tutorials?hsLang=en-us) [Support and learning](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360044608053.json?hsLang=en-us) [Downloads](https://support.lumion.com/downloads?hsLang=en-us) [Community](https://community.lumion.com/index.php) #### About [Our Story](https://lumion.com/about) [We're hiring!](https://lumion.com/about/careers) [News](https://lumion.com/news) [Contact us](https://lumion.com/about/contact) [Terms & conditions](https://lumion.com/legal/terms-of-service) [EULA](https://lumion.com/legal/eula) [Privacy statement](https://lumion.com/legal/privacy-statement) [CEIP](https://lumion.com/legal/ceip) [Disclaimer](https://lumion.com/legal/disclaimer) © 2026 Lumion
