Plan to 3D Automation
How does LizArk convert 2D architectural plans into 3D SketchUp models?
Prepare the plan once, generate editable 3D geometry in one click, then organize floors into an elevation-ready building without leaving SketchUp.
Learn the DWG-to-3D SketchUp workflowBuild the model
Detect or trace walls and openings, then use Generate 3D to build editable SketchUp geometry in one click.
Refine in place
Adjust details, rebuild only changed areas, and use To Elevation to stack organized 2D floor plans into a multi-story model.
Web Draw Wall Canvas
How does Web Draw Wall deliver CAD-precision drafting inside SketchUp?
Trace plans, place openings and structure, manage layers, and generate model geometry from one focused CAD canvas right inside your SketchUp viewport.
Read the Web Draw Wall guide
Architectural Modeling Control
Why do architects choose LizArk over manual SketchUp modeling?
LizArk combines automated generation with practical editing tools for the parts that still need an architect's judgement, producing clean native geometry rather than locked shapes.
1-click elevation from organized 2D floor plans
Use To Elevation to detect and stack selected floor plans, preserve level context, and create an organized multi-story model for review and presentation.
Edit without rebuilding everything
Move and resize openings, heal host walls, update selected zones, and keep the model usable after every change.
Lizark v1.0.27 AI / MCP integration
Your AI app, connected to Lizark.
The AI / MCP settings tab lets you enable the local bridge, choose inspection-only access, test readiness, and copy connection settings for a compatible MCP client. Requires Node.js and a separately installed Lizark MCP companion; AI / MCP settings are included in the current v1.0.27 download.
Explore AI / MCP integrationOne workflow from plan to complete model.
LizArk brings plan import, architectural modeling, structure, elevation, roads, and railings into one connected SketchUp workflow.
Architect Feedback
What do architects and BIM leads say about Lizatek?
Verified quotes from design professionals automating SketchUp in architectural and infrastructure studios.
"LizArk cut our typical 2D-to-3D modeling time from two days to under an hour. The wall and opening tools alone paid for the license on the first project."
"The PDF tracing feature is remarkably accurate. We use it to import client floor plans and kick-start SketchUp massing studies almost instantly."
"LizArk Roads Pro handles corridors, kerbs and lane markings far faster than manual component placement. Roadmap exports have become part of our standard workflow."
Performance Benchmarks
How does automated 2D-to-3D generation compare to manual drafting?
Tested on standard residential and commercial floor plans in Trimble SketchUp 2024 and 2026. Automated batch geometry creation reduces drafting overhead by up to 98% compared to manual push-pull modeling.
Benchmark Methodology: Measurements recorded across vector CAD (DWG/DXF) drawings and scaled PDF underlays using the Trimble SketchUp Ruby C API geometry generation pipelines.

Visit support centerWhat is LizArk?
LizArk is an architectural SketchUp extension that converts prepared 2D floor plans into editable 3D building and site models.
Can LizArk convert a 2D floor plan to 3D in one click?
Yes. After the plan is correctly scaled, cleaned and mapped, Generate 3D creates editable walls, openings, floors, structure, roofs and finishes in one command.
Which plan formats can I use?
LizArk includes workflows for PDF references, JPG and PNG underlays, and DWG or DXF imports with layer controls.
Can I edit the generated model?
Yes. Generated walls, openings, structure, floors, roofs, roads, and details remain editable inside SketchUp.
Does it handle doors and windows?
Yes. LizArk includes wall-aware tools for doors, gates, windows, corner windows, ventilators, panels, and custom openings.
Can LizArk create an elevation from 2D floor plans in one click?
Yes. To Elevation detects organized floor plans and stacks repeated or selected levels into an elevation-ready multi-story SketchUp model in one command.
