Getly
The SketchUp shelf on Getly, SketchUp Models & Plugins, holds 101 active listings, measured 26 September 2026, in a catalogue of 7,198. It sits under Architecture & BIM, and it is one of the most uniform shelves we have measured.
The median paid price is $12.00. The tenth percentile is also $12.00 and the ninetieth is $17.00, so almost the whole shelf lives in a five-dollar band. There are no free listings at all. That tells you what the shelf is today, and it also tells you where the room is.
What the shelf is today: one kind of product
About 99% of the listings are the same kind of product from the same shop: a complete, render-ready interior scene (a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room) built in SketchUp and set up for the Enscape renderer, with lighting and PBR materials already in place. The kitchen scene 31 listing is a typical example.
These listings do several things well, and they are worth copying. 99.01% of descriptions state the SketchUp version the file needs ("2023+"), the same share names the render engine, and the same share says textures and materials are included. 99.01% of the shelf also has a licence set on the listing, and that licence is commercial.
What the shelf does not have is just as clear. No listing mentions a plugin, an extension or an .rbz file, even though the category name promises plugins. No listing states a polygon count or calls itself lightweight. Individual furniture components, landscape and planting, construction details, styles and material libraries are all absent. If you make any of those, you are not entering a crowded shelf; you are opening a new row on it.
Put the SketchUp version where the buyer sees it
The version line is the most important sentence on a SketchUp listing, and the reason is technical. SketchUp's own help page (checked 26 September 2026) explains that older versions of SketchUp used their own versions of the .skp format, and that opening a model made in a newer version with an older one produces a "file created in a newer version" error. SketchUp suggests updating, or opening the file in SketchUp for Web.
A buyer on SketchUp 2021 who buys a 2024 file has bought something they cannot open on their desk. So:
- State the version the file was saved in, not only "SketchUp compatible". "Saved in SketchUp 2023, opens in 2023 and later" answers the question in one line.
- If you can, include a copy saved for an older version and say which one. It widens your audience at no cost.
- Name every renderer the scene is prepared for: Enscape, V-Ray, Lumion, Twinmotion, or none. A buyer who renders in V-Ray and receives Enscape-only materials will have to rebuild them.
Weight, archives and what goes inside
Every SketchUp model on this shelf is delivered as a ZIP archive. The median archive is 125 MB; the tenth percentile is 95 MB, the ninetieth is 223 MB and the largest is 292 MB. Getly accepts files up to 2 GB, so size is not a problem for delivery, but it is a question the buyer has before paying.
Tell them what is inside the archive: the .skp file, a textures folder, any HDRI, any render settings, a readme. Say the archive size and the size of the unpacked model. A heavy model is not a flaw, but a buyer on a laptop wants to know in advance, and a lightweight component library can make that a selling point.
Name your textures folder and keep texture paths relative, so the model opens with materials intact on someone else's machine. A scene that opens with pink, missing textures on the buyer's screen is a problem you can prevent entirely before upload: unzip your own archive on a second machine and open it once.
Images: render and viewport, both
A render sells the scene; a viewport screenshot sells the model. Show both. The render shows what a client presentation will look like. The viewport shot, with the outliner or component list visible, shows the buyer that the geometry is organised into groups and components they can actually edit. Add one image of the tag structure or scene list if the model is complex.
If you sell components rather than whole scenes, a contact sheet of every item in the pack, each with its real-world dimensions, answers the buyer's question faster than any paragraph.
Licence: say what a practice may do
The buyers here are interior designers, architects and visualisers who put your model in front of clients. They need to know whether they may use it in paid client work, in renders they publish, and in files they hand to a client. Set the licence on the listing (commercial is the norm on this shelf) and add one line in the description: "Use in client projects and published renders; do not resell the model file itself." That line prevents most of the questions you would otherwise answer by message.
Do not use SketchUp's or a renderer's logo as your product image, and if you mention the brands, say the product is compatible with them rather than endorsed by them. The shelf's leading listings already do exactly this.
Pricing
- A full render-ready scene sits between $12.00 and $17.00 here today. A scene with several camera views and prepared materials for more than one renderer can justify the top of that band.
- A single component (a sofa, a kitchen tap, a tree) has no competition on this shelf. Price it below a scene, and sell sets of components as a bundle priced below the sum of the parts.
- A plugin or extension is a different product: say which SketchUp versions it is tested on, how it installs, and what happens when SketchUp updates.
What to do today
Put the saved-in SketchUp version in your title or first line. List every renderer your materials are prepared for. Write the archive size and what is inside it. Show one render and one viewport shot. Set the licence and add one line on client use. If you make components, plugins or planting, this is the moment: the shelf has none. You keep 80% of each sale by default, rates rise with volume, and there are no listing fees; details are on the pricing page, and you can open a shop in a few minutes.
