FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does the plugin change my existing SketchUp scene?
- No. Your model file stays local and the plugin doesn't touch the scene — only your active view's image and brief are sent to Syntina, and the render is produced in the cloud.
- Which SketchUp versions are supported?
- SketchUp 2017 and later (any version that supports HtmlDialog). The plugin installs as a single .rbz file through Extension Manager, and the same file works on both Windows and macOS.
- How is it different from plugins like SketchUp Diffusion or Veras?
- Syntina renders in the cloud, not on your local machine. The same model catalog, presets and credit balance from the web app are shared with the plugin — your hardware doesn't affect the result, and you don't need to update the plugin for new models.
