Save a scene
Set the camera you want and save it as a Scene. Camera ▸ Two-Point Perspective keeps verticals straight, which reads as architectural photography.

Before you start
Prepare your SketchUp view
SketchUp is quick to model in, but a screenshot still reads as a model. Export the scene, drop it into RenderChat and describe the materials, light and atmosphere you want. The AI uses your massing and camera as its starting point, and you refine the result through follow-up messages instead of setting up a renderer.
Use a clean style
Pick a style with plain faces and thin edges, or switch edges off. Turn shadows on in the Shadows panel so the AI has a cue for light direction.
Export the view
Hide guides, axes and section planes, then File ▸ Export ▸ 2D Graphic at 2000 px or wider. A screenshot works too, including from SketchUp Free.

Open RenderChat with FLUX 3 Image
The start button on this page opens a new chat with FLUX 3 Image selected. You can also pick it from the model menu in the composer.
Upload and write the brief
Attach the image and say what must stay, then the materials, light, setting and people. Start from an example brief below.
Refine in chat
Ask for changes in follow-up messages. Each FLUX 3 Image request is sent fresh from your latest image, so repeat the constraints that matter.

Example briefs
SketchUp briefs to start from
Copy a brief, paste it into RenderChat with your SketchUp view, and change the materials and mood to match your project.
Photoreal exterior render of this SketchUp model. Keep the building form, openings and camera. Light timber cladding, dark metal window frames, board-formed concrete base. Late-afternoon sun from the left with soft shadows, mature trees, two people walking.
Turn this SketchUp interior into a photoreal render. Keep the room layout and furniture positions. Oak floor, warm limewash walls, linen sofa, soft daylight through the windows, editorial interior photography.
FLUX 3 Image in RenderChat
Working with FLUX 3 Image
Create images from a brief or edit your references with Black Forest Labs' FLUX 3 in RenderChat.
- Select the image to edit, then describe what should change and what should stay.
- Attach material and style references alongside the image you want to edit.
Quality check
What to check before you share it
- Window mullions, railings and other thin geometry — they drift first.
- Faces that share a color in SketchUp can merge into one material. Color the main surfaces distinctly before exporting.
- The roofline and openings against your model view before the image goes to a client.

FAQ
FLUX 3 Image SketchUp questions
Is FLUX 3 Image available on the free plan?
FLUX 3 Image is available on the Pro plan. On the Free plan you can use GPT Image 2.6 and GPT Image 2.5 and Nano Banana 2.1.
What resolution does FLUX 3 Image render at?
FLUX 3 Image renders at 1K in RenderChat, with auto + 10 fixed ratios.
Can I keep refining a FLUX 3 Image result in chat?
Yes. Each follow-up is sent to FLUX 3 Image as a fresh request built from your latest image and instructions, so restate the constraints that matter.
How do I select FLUX 3 Image in RenderChat?
Use the start button on this page — it opens a new chat with FLUX 3 Image selected — or choose it from the model menu in the chat composer.
Do I need a SketchUp plugin?
No. RenderChat works from an exported image of your SketchUp view, so any SketchUp version works, including SketchUp Free.
Will the render match my SketchUp model exactly?
Your view is the starting point, not a constraint the AI is guaranteed to follow. Check edges, openings and proportions, and ask for corrections in chat. RenderChat is not a physically exact renderer.
