3 Reasons Why Foyr Neo is the Best Alternative to SketchUp
Built-in, ultra-fast rendering - accessible from the cloud anytime, anywhere.
Foyr Neo’s unbelievably fast engine is capable of photorealistic rendering within minutes — including AI-powered auto-sun, auto-lighting and more. Even better, the renders are created in the background, so you can keep designing while the software works its magic.
To render in Sketchup, you have to install 3rd party plugins and wait hours for the render to finish. This process also blocks your computer, which slows down your entire workflow. Interior designers who work in Foyr Neo have found their design and rendering work speed up by over 83%.
Instant 360-degree virtual walkthroughs in one click
At the click of a button, you can instantly transform your design into an immersive 3D walkthrough. You can take your clients on a virtual tour of their space and sell your vision more easily than ever, since your client will truly be able to see and feel it for themselves. And it’s all online, so you’ll maintain social distance and safety precautions, but still keep designing and selling.
This feature is not built-in to Sketchup, which means you miss out on an essential part of your design business workflow.
Drag & drop render-ready products or create your own custom model
Foyr Neo comes with a catalogue of 50,000+ pre-3D modeled products. Drag and drop these customizable items directly into your work, or add them to your shortlist for interior design inspiration. You can also upload your own 3D models, or create custom models in Neo’s easy-to-use Shapes feature.
On the other hand, in Sketchup, you have to create your own products from scratch, and the interface requires much more knowledge and experience.

How Foyr Neo Fares as a SketchUp Alternative
