▶ Watch on YouTube — Projector Designer workflow overview
Projector Designer — two-click placement workflow (recorded with an earlier release; the workflow is unchanged in 1.3.2)
Choose brand, model and lens. Real throw ratio, lumens and lens shift data per lens.
Select a projector model and lens — Projector Designer loads the actual throw ratio range, zoom limits and lens shift factors for that specific combination. No manual entry, no approximations. The numbers you see are the numbers from the manufacturer.
Adjust position, aim or lens parameters and the projection geometry updates in real time. Pan, tilt, roll, offset — the beam cone recalculates as you work. Find the optimal placement interactively, not through trial and error.
Designed for the AVL workflow — concerts, corporate events, touring and fixed installation. Two-click placement, real specs, instant geometry. Everything you need to study a projection setup before setting foot on site.
First click places the lens position in the scene. Second click sets the target point on the projection surface. The beam cone generates immediately with real coverage data.
Throw ratio, zoom range and lens shift from manufacturer documentation — not approximations. Coverage is accurate to the specific lens you select.
Projector Designer shows real shift specs per lens. Rule: always use maximum lens shift before tilting the projector body — shift preserves keystone-free geometry, tilt does not.
Place unlimited projectors in the same SketchUp model with PRO — Free mode places one. Each projector keeps its own targeting, zoom, lens shift and resolution. Always name each projector uniquely before placing.
Weight, lumens, dimensions and lens data per projector unit. PRO adds a BOM and an HTML project report you can hand to production.
Structured product and lens data from Barco, Christie, Epson and Panasonic — 34 projector models and 107 lenses, each with its own throw, zoom and shift data.
Auto-detects SketchUp model units. Offsets and throw distances display in mm/m or ft/in according to your model settings.
Projector Designer combines real lens data with production-ready output — rare among SketchUp projection tools. Purpose-built for AV production workflows where accuracy matters.
One download, one plugin. Free mode gives you the complete placement workflow on two catalogue models, so you can evaluate it properly before committing. A PRO licence key unlocks everything below, instantly and with no reinstall.
