TileUp is a SketchUp extension that turns selected faces into real 3D tiles. Pick one of 185 laying patterns (herringbone, chevron, Versailles, brick bonds, hexagon, fish scale, planks, stone, grass pavers, Islamic stars, roof tiles, metal sheets and more) and TileUp models the tiles with thickness, a grout gap and an edge profile, clipped to the face and around holes, on flat faces, curved surfaces and roofs. Each tile gets its own random crop of your photo and a tone variant, and a takeoff counts the full and cut tiles you need to buy. In SketchUp you get 10 free uses per UTC day (every feature) with a free 3dshouse account, then TileUp Pro ($180 one-time list price, no seat limit) is a lifetime licence with no daily limit.
What TileUp does in SketchUp
- Real geometry, not a picture. Thickness, grout gap, joint depth and an edge profile (square, chamfer, round, cove, bullnose, ogee, pencil and more), optionally a handmade look with uneven outlines and heights. Tiles are clipped to the face and around holes, on faces inside nested groups. Orbit, section and render them like anything you drew.
- 185 laying patterns. Parametric patterns in one searchable picker with category filters: herringbone and its variants, chevron, Versailles, running, stack, English, Flemish and other brick bonds, basketweave, hexagon, fish scale, penny round, grass pavers, Islamic stars, random-length planks, ashlar, cobblestone, domed cobbles, riven slate, corrugated and standing-seam metal, tongue and groove, fluted and reeded panels. Tile size, angle and joints are fields.
- Roofs. Switch on roof rows and lay overlapping courses: plain tile, beavertail, fish scale, slate, three-tab and random shingles, Roman tile and pantile. Each course rests on the one below it; the gauge, the head lap and the batten height are fields, and the takeoff counts the roof plane’s area.
- Curved surfaces. Select a smooth patch of faces such as a cylinder, a cone or a gentle dome: TileUp unrolls it, lays the pattern and maps the tiles back, either flat tiles resting on the surface or tiles that bend with it. Walls joined at corners are unrolled as one strip, so the joints continue around a room.
- Your materials. 264 included textures, your own image (.jpg or .png) or a solid colour. Each tile takes a random crop of the image and a tone shift; same seed, same floor. Add a second material and give it a random share of the tiles, chosen tiles of the pattern or whole rows or columns, or click single tiles. The joints can carry an image too.
- A takeoff. Full and cut tiles per tile size, net area, bought area and waste %, exported as a CSV. Change the pattern or the origin and the numbers follow the layout.
- Editable later. The result is one component that stores its settings. Select it, open TileUp, change anything and press Update: it is rebuilt in place as one undo step.
- A lighter model. Uncut tiles share component definitions (“reuse identical tiles”, on by default). Measured with the TileUp engine on a 5.4 x 5 m herringbone floor with 5,154 tiles: 46,387 faces as raw geometry against 576 faces in 64 shared definitions plus 4,837 instances and 2,854 raw faces for the cut tiles and grout bed.
- Seamless textures with PBR maps. The Texture tab saves the same pattern as seamless albedo, height, normal, roughness, metalness and ambient-occlusion maps (one .zip) or applies it to the selected faces as a material; in SketchUp 2025 and newer the material also carries the normal, roughness, metalness and ambient-occlusion maps.
How the dialog is laid out
The 3D tab has a preview on top and one scrolling stack of sections under it: Pattern (the pattern picker and its sizes), Material, Joints, Edges and Tile (thickness, flip side, reuse identical tiles, roof rows, curved surface, a tile body from your own component), then the takeoff. The preview switches between Swatch, the seamless repeat of the pattern, and Faces, the layout on the selected faces with cut tiles marked. From 760 px wide the dialog shows two panes, the settings on the left and the preview on the right. Lengths show in mm or inches, and inch fields take typed values such as 5′ 6″.
How to tile a floor in SketchUp with TileUp
- Click a face with the Select tool (or select several faces).
- Open TileUp from the Extensions menu or its toolbar button and sign in with your free 3dshouse account.
- Under Pattern click the pattern field, search or filter the 185 patterns and pick one; the swatch shows it repeated in your material.
- Under Material choose a texture, upload your own image or pick a solid colour. Joints sets the grout and its depth, Edges the edge profile, Tile the thickness and the roof and curved-surface options.
- Press Apply. TileUp builds the tiles inside SketchUp.
- Read the full and cut counts and the waste in the takeoff, and export a CSV for your order.
- To change it later, select the tiled component, open TileUp, edit and press Update.
Free and Pro
| Free | TileUp Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $0 | $180 one-time list price (the checkout shows the current sale price) |
| Uses | 10 per UTC day | Unlimited |
| Features | All of them | All of them |
| Account | Free 3dshouse account | Same account; works on every computer you sign in to, no seat limit |
One use is one result delivered into SketchUp or saved to disk: Apply or Update, applying the texture as a material, or saving the texture maps. Browsing patterns and previewing cost nothing. After your first result the dialog shows how many free uses are left today; the count resets at midnight UTC, not 24 hours after your first use. Pro is a lifetime licence tied to your account and activates by itself the next time you open TileUp signed in; a crown next to the tabs shows it is active.
Free seamless textures in your browser
The 3dshouse web texture tool is a free seamless texture and PBR map generator: pick a pattern and a material, then download the albedo, height, normal, roughness, metalness and ambient-occlusion maps. It has no 3D view and is not metered; the real 3D tiles are made by the SketchUp extension. Every pattern opens at its own address, for example herringbone in oak, ready to edit and download.
How TileUp differs from other SketchUp tile tools
| TileUp | Architextures | Oob Layouts | Curic Face Array | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Result in SketchUp | Real 3D tiles from a face | A material (texture) from its plugin | 3D layouts on faces | Copies of a component you made |
| Patterns | 185 parametric | Large texture library | Rectangular layouts | Not a pattern library |
| Different crop per tile | Yes (random crop + tone variants) | Within one texture repeat | Random colours and sizes | No, every copy is identical |
| Take-off | Full / cut, area, waste, CSV | Not listed | Full and cut counts | Not listed |
| Price | 10 free uses a day; Pro $180 one-time list price | See the vendor’s site | Paid, with a trial | Free |
Competitor facts come from the vendors’ own pages as read on 2026-10-10 (Architextures, Oob Layouts on the Extension Warehouse, Curic on Gumroad); “not listed” means the page does not list it, not that the product cannot do it. Check each vendor for current details. Building a tile array by hand instead? See the Dynamic Components tile floor tutorial.

FAQ
Is TileUp free?
Partly. In SketchUp every feature works for 10 free uses per UTC day with a free 3dshouse account, no licence key; after that, TileUp Pro (one-time purchase, list price $180) is needed. The web texture tool is free and unmetered.
What counts as one use?
One result delivered into SketchUp or saved to disk: building or updating the tiles, applying the texture as a material, or saving the texture maps. Browsing patterns and previewing cost nothing.
When does the free limit reset?
At midnight UTC, not 24 hours after your first use. The dialog shows how many hours are left when the limit is reached.
Does TileUp make real 3D tiles or just a texture?
Real geometry: each tile has thickness, a grout gap and an edge profile, clipped to your face and around holes. The Texture tab can also save seamless texture maps and apply one as a material, but the tiles are modelled.
Is every tile really different?
Each tile gets a random crop of your photo and one of several tone variants, chosen from a seed. To keep the model light, uncut tiles share component definitions by default (“reuse identical tiles”), so the number of distinct looks is limited by the image crops per tone variant; cut tiles each get their own crop. Switch reuse off if you want every tile unique.
Can it tile a roof?
Yes. Switch on roof rows in the Tile section and pick a roof pattern: plain tile, beavertail, fish scale, slate, three-tab or random shingles, Roman tile or pantile. Each course rests on the one below; gauge, head lap and batten height are fields. Roof rows work on flat roof planes; each plane of a gable starts at its own eaves.
Does it work on curved surfaces?
Yes, on a smooth patch of faces such as a cylinder, a cone or a gentle dome. Tiles either stay flat and rest on the surface or bend with it. Walls joined at corners are laid as one strip, so the joints continue around the room.
Does it work on faces with holes or inside groups?
Yes. Select one or more faces, including faces with holes and faces inside nested groups; the tiles are clipped to the boundary and around the holes.
Does it count the tiles I need to buy?
Yes. The takeoff under the settings lists full and cut tiles per tile size, net area, bought area and waste percent, and exports a CSV.
Can I edit the floor after generating it?
Yes. The result is a component that stores its settings. Select it, open TileUp, change the pattern, grout, seed or anything else and press Update; it is rebuilt in place in one undo step.
Which SketchUp versions are supported?
SketchUp 2022 and newer. The dialog loads from 3dshouse servers, so it needs an internet connection. PBR maps on an applied material need SketchUp 2025 or newer.
