SketchUp plugin
Render the current view without leaving SketchUp
The Taagh AI extension renders your current SketchUp view straight from SketchUp. It uses the same account and balance as the website — each render costs 3 tokens.

If something goes wrong
- The panel stays on “Loading…” — install the latest version from the plugin page (Extension Manager → Install Extension…), then restart SketchUp.
- “Taking longer than usual…” — a render can take up to 5 minutes when the service is busy. Keep SketchUp open.
- The connection was interrupted — the panel checks automatically whether your render finished. You can also press Check last render; if the render didn’t finish, you were not charged.
- “Can’t reach Taagh” — check your internet connection or VPN, then try again. The message shows the reason (timeout, DNS, refused…).
- The key is refused — create a new key on the account page and paste it again.
- Not enough tokens — press Buy tokens in the panel; it opens the right purchase page for your account.
