<![CDATA[The rapid growth of the property and housing development sector requires the accurate presentation of three-dimensional architectural designs to effectively communicate space planning and design concepts. General Background SketchUp software has become a widely utilized tool among professionals and engineering students for rapid architectural modeling and visualization. Specific Background Converting two-dimensional floor plans into detailed three-dimensional cluster housing models requires a systematic technical workflow and precise material specifications. Knowledge Gap Existing literature predominantly focuses on final rendering or single-building models without addressing standardized methodologies for repeating cluster housing units with specific material constraints. Aims This study aims to describe the practical implementation of SketchUp software in compiling a three-dimensional layout for the Lebak Bulus residential cluster in South Jakarta. Results The workflow successfully generated detailed three-dimensional models of two house variants, overcoming translation challenges through structured phase modeling and adherence to construction principles. Novelty This work provides a practical workflow framework for converting flat design drawings into informative spatial representations optimized for repeating residential layouts. Implications Applying this modeling approach improves design comprehension, minimizes communication errors during presentations, and serves as a technical reference for civil engineering practices. Key Findings Highlights Structured phase modeling successfully translates two-dimensional architectural floor plans into precise three-dimensional residential layouts. Modular component strategies and component reuse significantly reduce modeling time for repeating housing units within residential clusters. Material application aligned with technical specifications establishes high visual realism and spatial accuracy for professional design presentation.
