Place the important lines.
Keep a joint or tile centre on a design axis instead of accepting whichever grid happens to fit.

Layouts guided by
the design—not a blind grid.
Generate editable tile geometry around openings, align joints or centres to important axes, add real thickness and grout, then export a surface schedule.
Actual geometry from TileBuilder 0.12.0 in SketchUp 2026 for macOS. The image uses a test texture and is not a product rendering.
Respect the surface.
Openings and segmented boundaries are retained while TileBuilder creates individual 3D tiles and recessed grout.
Change it later.
Reopen a generated surface, adjust the setup and replace it in one undoable SketchUp operation.
A useful Free workflow.
More design control in PRO.

TileBuilder beta
Test it on a real surface.
The first cohort is for desktop SketchUp 2026 on macOS. Windows and older versions are valuable next-stage test targets, but are not yet claimed as validated.
- Registration is not an automatic promise of admission.
- The first macOS cohort ends 31 October 2026 at 23:59 CET.
- PRO access expires; existing SketchUp geometry remains in the model.
- Use a copy of production files and send no confidential client models.
- English or Czech feedback is welcome.
Before you register.
Is the beta a public download?
No. Registration is open, but access is admitted in small cohorts. A tested invitation and licence are sent only after the beta build passes its expiry and downgrade checks.
What happens when the beta ends?
The first cohort expires on 31 October 2026 at 23:59 CET. PRO features then lock, but geometry already created stays in your SKP file. The current Free edition remains the fallback for supported Free workflows.
Is Windows supported?
Not yet as a validated claim. The current acceptance run passed on SketchUp 2026 for macOS. Windows testers may register for a later compatibility cohort.
