Designing an Analysis Ready Model

Last updated: maj 19, 2026•1 min read.

When you are ready to perform an analysis there are a few guidelines you can follow to help make sure your results are accurate as possible: 

  • Geolocate your model – Use SketchUp’s Add Location feature to place your model. That location’s latitude and longitude will then be used to provide your analysis data. 

  • Enclose interior spaces – Analysis modes analyze both the exterior and interior of your models. Make sure your interiors are enclosed by walls and ceilings with a clearly defined floor. 

  • Simplify your model – Remove non-essential entities like furniture, fixtures, or other decorative objects that don’t really affect the lighting within your spaces.

  • Include relevant context – Make sure to include objects that cast shadows like neighboring buildings or trees. Make sure those contextual objects use simplified geometry to represent them when possible.
