3DBI for SketchUp
Visualize your 3D Trimble® SketchUp® model and data in Microsoft® Power BI®.
3D Microsoft Power BI dashboards.
3DBI is a custom 3D visual we created for Microsoft Power BI that will allow you to visualize your data in its spatial context. Use cases range from BIM (quantities, scheduling, …) to plotting IoT data (color and filter objects by temperature, humidity, co2-levels, occupancy, wear, …) as well as Warehousing (stock management, order picking, …) and Energy (plotting yield of solar panels or windmill farms) or any other sector where you might have a need for visualizing data in a 3d environment. Check out this link for an online 3D Dashboard, generated with 3DBI for SketchUp.
Let’s get started!
- Install the 3DBI for SketchUp extension directly from the extension warehouse.
- Activate your 14 day trial by using 3DBI-SKETCHUP-TRIAL-14DAYS as activation key when being prompted.
- Export your Sketchup models to Microsoft Power BI.
The missing piece
Data needs context. With just a few clicks, 3DBI will allow you to visualize your data in its spatial, 3D context, directly in your existing or new Microsoft Power BI dashboards. Get started viewing, panning and orbiting around your 3d models now.
Stylized
3DBI gives your powerful styling options to visualize your data in the most insightful way possible. Colorize and show/hide up to 30.000 objects by any parameter, control whether or not your objects, ghost objects and contextual objects should be outlined or not and control the opacity of ghost objects.
Work offline
With 3DBI, your 3D model information is directly inserted into your Microsoft Power BI dashboard, so your 3D model will be accessible, even when there is no internet connection.
Integrated
KG-dev actively works on the tools needed to craft 3DBI models from a wide variety of CAD and BIM (web-) applications.
This SketchUp extension is our first integration, with Revit and Archicad coming in 2021.

Demos
Material take-off breakdown by Level
Demo of an interactive BIM dashboard showing concrete (prefab vs in situ) take-off by level in an interactive 3D Power BI dashboard. This dashboard can be consulted here: on Power BI
Room Quantities
Demo showing an abstract model of which the rooms have been exported to 3DBI. Different properties such as the room’s level, area and perimeter are used to colorize and show/hide the room geometries.
Warehouse Locations
Demo of a warehouse model with over 1900 different product locations that have been exported to 3DBI using our SketchUp Pro Extension. The different product locations are colorized and filtered by using properties such as the product’s supplier and remaining stock.
Basic Construction schedule
What jobs are we up to today? Tomorrow? This week? … This basic demo demonstrates the versatility of 3DBI where scheduling data has been used to colorize objects based on the construction job type and to filter objects based on a calendar.
Queue Occupancy Monitoring
Versatility – That is what 3DBI offers. Our vision was to make it possible to link any kind of data, with any kind of 3D model. In this demo, we linked up a fictional vaccination center model with some mocked queue occupancy data.
