“I did the entire project with Sketchup and Mattoboard only. Everyone in the office is very impressed with the results. I can quickly test what works, what doesn’t work. This is actual material that I’m going to use because I know it exists.”

Design with real materials inside your SketchUp model

Find, preview and apply real products without leaving the model, then carry every decision into MattoBoard.

Apply real PBR materials at real-world scale

Preview any material as a true-to-life 3D virtual sample, then import it in one click with PBR maps at real-world scale and apply it straight to the faces you’ve selected.

3D products, such as a door handle or a mixer tap, arrive as components ready to place, so what you see in the model is something you can source.

Search materials the way you think

Describe what you need in your own words, such as “natural brass, stone, wood and rattan for a bathroom”, or upload an inspiring interior image to get a matching palette of materials and products.

Refine by category, brand, colour, usage, application, region and price, or use the Seamless filter for textures that tile cleanly across large surfaces.

Your MattoBoard library, with full product specs

Every product comes with specification details, a link to the manufacturer’s website and a way to contact the supplier, with similar products one click away.

Your boards, collections, FF&E schedules and My Library sit alongside the model, including the materials you’ve uploaded, the paints you’ve mixed and the products you’ve clipped from the web. Save a new find to any of them without leaving SketchUp.

From model to material board and FF&E schedule

The In Model tab lists every MattoBoard product used in your model. Add them to a collection, send them to a project schedule, or generate a full 3D material board from your model’s selections.

The model, board and schedule stay connected, so the decisions you make in 3D become client-ready work without being repeated.
