Walk through buildings before they exist.
Upload your SketchUp model, share a link, and let clients explore every room in any browser — no app install, no 3D skills required.
Built for SketchUp
Drop in your .skp file. No re-modeling, no new tool to learn.
Share with a link
Clients open the walkthrough in any browser. No app install, no account.
Built in Bangalore
Six of us at Realviz LLP. We use SketchUp every day. Brickrat is the tool we wanted.
How it works
From SketchUp to a sharable walkthrough in three steps.
No new tool to learn. No 3D-artist skills required. The desktop app handles the heavy lifting — you ship a link.
Upload your SketchUp model
Drop the .skp file into the desktop app. Brickrat imports your geometry, materials, and saved cameras as-is — no re-modeling, no plugin install.
Place lights, drop in furniture, bake
Light the rooms, populate them from a built-in furniture library, then bake. Lighting and shadows compute locally in minutes — no render farm, no waiting.
Send a link. Your client walks the space.
Hit publish and you get a URL. Your client opens it in any browser — phone, laptop, tablet — and walks every room themselves. No app install, no account.
Why architects pick it
The two things every architect asked us for first.
Works with SketchUp.
You modeled the building once. Brickrat picks up where SketchUp leaves off — no re-topology, no FBX dance, no plugin to wrestle with.
- Direct .skp import from the desktop app
- Geometry, materials, and saved cameras preserved
- Re-bake any time you tweak the model
One link. Any device.
Send a URL the same way you send a Drive folder. Your client clicks it on their phone in the car or their laptop after dinner — no install, no account, no friction.
- Runs in any modern browser
- Nothing for your client to download
- Same walkthrough on phone, tablet, laptop
For client presentations
Close residential deals before the agency video would even start rendering.
Walk your client through their bedroom on Tuesday. Land the next pitch on Wednesday. Your competition is still waiting on the rendering studio to send back the first cut.
A note from the team
We built Brickrat because we needed it.
We’re a team of six at Realviz LLP in Bangalore. We started Brickrat as a hobby — modeling the houses and hostels and college corridors we grew up in, so we could walk through them together in a browser.
Then architect friends saw it and asked, “can we use this to show clients what an unbuilt building will actually look like?” Rendered videos cost them weeks and lakhs. Brickrat takes minutes and a SketchUp file.
The app works end-to-end today. We’re opening the beta to a small group of architects first. If that’s you, come in.

Walk through your next project before you build it.
Brickrat is in private beta. Join the waitlist — we’ll send a private link to the desktop app, and you bake your first walkthrough this week.
