An easier alternative to SketchUp for floor plans
SketchUp, Blender and similar modellers can build anything, and architects use them daily; they reward practice with total freedom.
| SketchUp and general 3D modellers | Kubikly | |
|---|---|---|
| From a floor plan | Trace it by hand | Upload it; walls, rooms, openings are extracted |
| Room areas and dimensions | Measure manually | Automatic, per room, from the plan's scale |
| Changes | Push/pull, move, scale | Drag walls in plan view or say what to change |
| Materials and furniture | Extensions and warehouses | Presets and parametric furniture, restyle from a photo |
| Day, night, curtains, X-ray | Set up manually | One button each |
| Free tier | Web version with limits | First model free; edits free |
| Export | SKP, OBJ, many | GLB / OBJ / STL |
Which to use
For a bespoke building or detailed construction drawings, learn SketchUp. To get a house from a plan into 3D in minutes, try layouts and finishes, and show it to a client or a family, Kubikly gets there without the learning curve; export to OBJ if you want to continue in SketchUp.
Frequently asked
- Can I open Kubikly's model in SketchUp?
- Yes, via OBJ export (credits).
- Can I add a second floor?
- Yes; upload each floor's plan and they stack, with stairs linking them.
- How accurate is the reconstruction?
- Wall positions follow the plan at its scale; one confirmed dimension calibrates it. Every value is labelled with its source.
