WebUI Canvas

Draw, trace, and export with Web Draw Wall

Web Draw Wall is a sophisticated CAD-style canvas right inside SketchUp. Trace PDF, JPG, or PNG floor plans, draw wall centerlines, place openings and structural elements, then generate real 3D walls with one click.

  • Full 2D web canvas with CAD toolbar, layers, and simple / Pro modes.
  • Trace over raster or vector PDF underlays and clean up traced lines before generation.
  • Generate walls, openings, stairs, columns, beams, footings, roads, and floor plates.
  • Export your draft to DXF, PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG, or JSON for further drawing improvements.

Web Draw 3D Preview

Preview is where drawing becomes a decision

Switch from the plan to a live model before Update Model. Inspect wall height, opening hosts, columns, and beams, then orbit freely or choose a precise camera view.

  1. 01 Draw

    Keep the plan fast and precise in 2D.

  2. 02 Inspect

    Read the design from six views or free orbit.

  3. 03 Update

    Commit verified intent to the SketchUp model.

The preview is intentionally lightweight. Roads, stairs, footings, floors, and other canvas objects continue through the full Update Model pipeline.

Beyond raw geometry

A BIM-like layer of intent inside SketchUp

LizArk keeps useful object data attached to structure and finishes. This supports repeatable edits and clearer handoffs without claiming to replace a full BIM platform.

Structural Multi Tool

Six structural modes, one placement language

Place beams, plinth beams, columns, pad or strip footings, combined footings, and slabs with exact dimensions, workplane inference, live previews, materials, and existing SketchUp tags.

Each result keeps its LizArk type, role, dimensions, source, material, and tag data, so it remains recognizable after placement.

Learn Structural Multi Tool

Finish Brush

Plaster and paint that remember what they are

Plaster becomes a measured shell with interior or exterior intent, real thickness, material data, and preserved opening cutouts. Paint stays separate and can be removed without flattening the finish workflow.

The finish stack records type, side, material, opacity, visibility, and the relationship to source building objects for later updates.

LizArk creating a multi-story SketchUp elevation from organized 2D floor plans

Feature Spotlight

1-Click Elevation From 2D Floor Plans

Use To Elevation to turn organized 2D floor plans into a stacked, elevation-ready 3D building in one command. LizArk detects each level and positions it at the correct elevation height.

FAQ

Common Questions

Can I connect an AI app to Lizark through MCP?

Version 1.0.27 adds an AI / MCP tab in Settings for compatible MCP clients. It provides persistent bridge enablement, inspection-only access, companion selection, a local bridge test, and connection configuration copying. Node.js and the Lizark MCP companion must be installed separately. Keep SketchUp open and call lizark_status from your AI app to check the connection. Model-changing calls require permission, confirmation, and a current model identity. AI / MCP settings are included in the current v1.0.27 download.

What is LizArk?

LizArk is a SketchUp extension for automatic floor plan detection and 1-click conversion of prepared 2D architectural plans into editable 3D building and site models.

What does 99% accurate plan conversion mean?

The 99% accuracy claim refers to the product target for clean, properly scaled and readable architectural plan inputs. Results can vary with scan quality, layer quality, drawing standards and whether the source is vector PDF, CAD, JPG or PNG.

Which file types does LizArk support?

LizArk includes workflows for vector-aware PDF plan import, JPG/PNG/PDF image import workflows for tracing and cleanup, and DWG/DXF CAD import with layer control.

Can LizArk create doors and windows?

Yes. It includes wall-aware tools for doors, gates, windows, corner windows, ventilators, custom panels and editable 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.

Does LizArk include road and site tools?

Yes. LizArk Roads Pro supports road corridors, curved roads, path import, crossings, signs, junctions, roundabouts and node editing.

Does LizArk support multiple languages?

Yes. LizArk ships with 32 language packs including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Urdu, Arabic, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Swahili and more. Pick your language in Settings; missing strings fall back to English.

Is LizArk a BIM tool?

LizArk adds BIM-like, object-aware workflows to SketchUp. Structural members and finish layers retain type, dimensions, materials, tags, and source relationships, but LizArk is not a full BIM authoring or coordination platform.

What can the Web Draw 3D preview show?

The current preview shows walls, hosted openings, columns, and beams with six camera presets, edges, dimensions, fog, and in-context editing. Other Web Draw objects are created through Update Model.

What is Lizark Exploded View?

Lizark Exploded View is a coming-soon standalone extension currently visible as a product preview. It animates selected groups and components, adds camera paths, storyboards and callouts, writes SketchUp scenes, and exports videos, social formats, illustrated manuals and BOMs. Checkout is temporarily disabled.
