Publish 3D Tiles from SketchUp with the new Cesium ion Extension

Thomas Fili

We are happy to announce the launch of the Cesium ion SketchUp extension for publishing SketchUp models as 3D Tiles to your Cesium ion account for use in CesiumJS and other applications. The SketchUp extension joins a growing list of 3D Tiles exporters that started with FME and is enabled by the new REST API. Look for more exporters coming soon.

With both free and paid tiers, SketchUp allows users to create 3D models for architecture, interior design, engineering, and graphic design. Easily create 3D models in SketchUp and then stream them to any device in Cesium’s 3D geospatial world along with other contextual data such as terrain and satellite imagery.
