Material Variants / UMM 2027
Material Variants
One model. More possibilities.
Create and switch between material configurations directly in SketchUp. Every variant applies real material assignments and texture positioning to your model, ready for your next step.
A simplified demo of Material Variants. Explore the full toolset in UMM for SketchUp.
Why Material Variants?
Saved with your SketchUp model.
Your variants are stored directly in the SketchUp file, so your material options are still there when you reopen the project.
Share your work. Keep creating.
Anyone can open the model with its saved materials. Teammates with UMM can switch variants and continue working.
From first idea to presentation
Keep your options together.
Build material families for the parts of your design that belong together. Save a starting scheme, create alternatives, and compare them in Present mode.
- Set up your families. Group related material choices for the parts of the model you want to explore.
- Create your alternatives. Save finishes and texture positioning in each variant.
- Present your choices. Switch between saved looks directly in your SketchUp model.
