Ambient Occlusion

A new style setting that adds visual emphasis to corners and edges, increasing perceived depth and realism within the SketchUp interface.

Trimble Connect Integration

Trimble Connect is now a native integration within the desktop application. You can access your cloud-saved files almost instantly and saving your file preserves progress and updates the file’s version history in Trimble Connect.

Link Sharing

Generate view-only shareable models to distribute to colleagues and clients. The recipient doesn’t need to have the software installed.

Ground Mesh in Scan Essentials (Studio only)

Quickly and efficiently turn a terrain point cloud into an accurate, quad-face based, ground mesh with a chosen resolution. The Ground Mesh tool automatically extracts terrain information - whether from a full point cloud, a segmented or classified cloud. Choose from Fit Cloud, Rectangular, and Bounded options.

Add Location

Simplify the process of adding site terrain to your model. Adjust contour and tessellation density to suit your needs with the mesh density slider. Select low density for lighter, faster files and higher density for more detailed and precise terrain.

New Graphics Engine for SketchUp

Experience substantial upticks in re -draw and model load speed when you orbit, zoom and pan. You have the option to toggle the new engine off or on based on your hardware and system.

New Graphics Engine for LayOut (LABS)
LayOut’s new graphics engine brings the on-screen drawing of SketchUp and LayOut entities into a more modern infrastructure and improves performance in file navigation and responsiveness.

Draft Mode in LayOut

Enabling the Draft Mode in LayOut improves speed and responsiveness as you navigate or draw in your file - especially noticeable with heavier, more complex files.

IFC4-updates
Benefit from enhanced mapping to IFC class attributes, and maintain data-rich models for improved project performance and BIM exports.

New 3D file formats

Import and export support for USDZ and gITF file formats.

Versionless

Now you don’t need to ‘Save As’ to access documents in 2022 or later.

• Flip Tool
  Flip transformations will no longer be guesswork in 2023. With the new Flip Tool, the result of the flip transformation can be visualized in advance, saving you precious time with predictable modifications.
   
• DWG-file as a reference file in LayOut
  In LayOut, you can now also use a DWG file as a reference file. Receive notifications when a file is outdated or changed and update or relink it using the File Reference Manager. All style changes, such as line thicknesses, scale and viewport positions, are retained!
   
• Revit Importer in SketchUp Studio
  Convert Revit models seamlessly into SketchUp files for improved collaboration between project phases and different design teams. Revit families and layers are hereby translated into groups, components and tags in SketchUp. This saves you hours of cleaning up models.
   
• And more…
  
  • New Windows Installer with the additional options for SketchUp Studio: Scan Essentials, V-Ray and the new Revit Importer
  • Faster storage of large models using multithreading
  • Improved Rotate Tool in LayOut

• Support for Apple M1, macOS Monterey and Windows 11
• Search Tool
  Quickly find and activate native commands and installed Extensions.

• Lasso Select Tool
  Draw custom selection bounds without reorienting the camera, create multiple discrete selections in one click-drag operation and select entities much faster with stylus inputs.

• Tag Tool
  Improve model organization by tagging objects directly in the modeling window.

• Stamp Copy
  Make multiple copies of an entity and stamp them with a simple click for naturally dispersing objects across a given area.
• Freehand Tool
  With smoother curve entities, you can create organically drawn lines and Follow Me extrusions with more natural variance.

• Scene Search
  With Scene Search, a new search filter adjacent to the Scenes tab, you can now quickly identify and jump to your desired scene.

• Tangent Inference Lock
  With the 2-Point and 3-Point Arc tools, you can now quickly specify and lock arc tangency from an existing edge or arc, allowing you to create curved faces in a shorter amount of time.
• Other improvements in SketchUp
  
  • Explode command now 2-3x faster
  • Less ‘clipping’ in displaying geometry
  • Improved Tape Measure tool: the Measurements box now will hold the value of a guide or measurement, even if you move your cursor
  • Maximum image export size based on available system memory
• Auto-Text in LayOut
  Without further text processing, use automatic tags to, for example, quickly annotate drawings, create numbered pages, index legends or use the information embedded in SketchUp models to create more powerful and efficient templates.

• Find & Replace in LayOut
  Replacing or changing certain text (parts) in a selection, a page, or a document is a much quicker process.

• Zoom Selection in LayOut
  Jump to your desired Zoom level in a given selection in LayOut, lowering the likelihood of unwelcomed lags on zoom in or out.

A new look for the SketchUp brand
After eight years, SketchUp has unveiled a new style to continue the evolution of the product and brand. The new logo is derived from the simplicity of a cube and built using advanced tools within SketchUp. So, it’s truly a shape built in 3D. Plus, the new style meshes well with the rest of the Trimble ecosystem.

PreDesign: a new way to start SketchUp Subscription only!
Alongside SketchUp Pro 2021, the brand-new early-stage research tool, PreDesign, is launching. This tool provides designers of buildings, outside spaces, and master plans with the information they need to properly factor climate insights into their initial concepts, getting designs started in the right direction before the modelling process begins.

PreDesign improves design outcomes—projects will be better informed and designers will have more information to influence preliminary solutions. Knowing this, Predesign will be a new way to ‘start’ architectural design projects in SketchUp.

Live Components
A new type of configurable objects for SketchUp. These components will be available for all users to find, download and configure live in SketchUp!

Users can access live components (example) by opening 3D Warehouse and navigating to the collection of models - hosted by SketchUp Labs. Simply choose an object and insert it into your SketchUp model. When you double-click to edit a Live Component, the ‘Configure Live Component’ dialog will allow you to control the components ‘parameters’. Unlike Dynamic Components, Live Components redraw themselves as you make adjustments.

Better model organization
Create 3D models that are simply better than anything else out there, especially large complex models. That’s exactly why SketchUp 2021 has a much better model organization:

• Tag Folders - It will be easier for designers who maintain large and complex models with a long list of tags and scenes. With Tag Folders, you can organize and catalog tags based on attributes, building levels, or design options. This feature is also available in LayOut, allowing users to turn off/on bigger chunks of a model viewport when composing 2D drawings.
• Tag Filtering - The new filtering option in SketchUp’s Tags panel makes it a lot easier to search for tags in your model and quickly control individual tag visibility, make tag-based selections in the modeling window, or edit tag properties and styling. If you have long tag lists organized with a particular naming hierarchy, tag filtering will rapidly speed up the creation of folders allowing you to filter down to a prefix and add the tags you're looking for.

SketchUp Labs
Live Components is the first feature released under a new program called “SketchUp Labs”. The SketchUp Labs program represents a change in the way SketchUp develops and releases features. Features released as part of this Beta program are still under development, but provide value to the user community.

Releasing a Labs capability will allow SketchUp to collect feedback earlier so they can better prioritize future development. Features that are part of the Labs program may be less polished, but it figures that’s well worth providing new features to customers faster and being able to test them earlier in real workflows.

Introducing Outliner

A BIG model organization change: Outliner. In an effort to increase model performance, you no longer have to create Layers upon Layers. Manage and organize your model straight within Outliner. Use the friendly eyeball icon to toggle between the major sections of your model, such as main floor plans and furniture.

New grips on bounding boxes

When you grab a point that is obscured in an object (such as a back corner or center point) and start to move it, your object will automatically go transparent when something in your model interferes with the object you are moving. This works with both the Rotate tool and Move tool. This will literally ‘transform’ your workflow. Don’t take our word for it: start positioning objects in hard to reach places to see what happens!

Better control of hidden objects

You’ll notice in your drop-down menu that we separated hiding objects from hiding geometry. How will this change your workflow? Well, this will give you the ability to better manage hidden geometry and hidden objects for an even easier modeling experience. For example, let’s say you want to edit hidden edges in a landscape or smoothed surface, but you still want to be able to hide objects that are nearby (like trees, bushes, or a building)...well you can do that now!

Updates to your SketchUp dictionary

SketchUp has a few updates to the naming conventions it uses when talking about SketchUp. This won’t change your workflow...but it makes sure you know SketchUp is saying a few things differently now.

Here’s the run-down! Objects are now a collective term for: groups, components, and dynamic components. This just means we don’t have to say “groups (slash) components” anymore ?. Also, Layers are now referred to as “Tags”. Keep in mind that these two terms are merely naming conventions and won’t influence your workflow.

LayOut 2020: document control

It’s all about taking back control... document control that is! The focus for LayOut was on improving the interaction between SketchUp & LayOut to save you time and [brain] energy. This means way less back and forth in SketchUp updating scenes to ensure your drawing comes out perfectly. Now you have more editing ability, directly in LayOut.

More power to adjust model views

LayOut now understands a lot more about your SketchUp model and what you’ve overridden. This means you can safely change a style or camera angle directly in LayOut without accidentally losing your changes (!!).

How do you know what’s different in your LayOut viewport versus your model? When you make changes in LayOut, parts of the menu bar will go dark gray, alerting you that you’ve made an override. Keep in mind: just because you made some changes in LayOut, doesn’t mean you’re stuck with those. You can always resync your viewports back to your SketchUp model if needed.

Improved customization of your drawings

Take those LayOut docs to the next level with different models and views. If you have one SketchUp model that exists across several viewports, you can now relink just one of those viewports to another SketchUp model. Previously, you had to delete that viewport, insert a new SKP model, and reset all your scale settings and viewport sizing. More efficient now? Yes!

And that’s not all! You also have the ability to toggle Tag visibility — straight in your LayOut doc! What does this mean for your workflow? You don’t have to create extra scenes just for your LayOut files, saving you a ton of time going back and forth between LayOut and SketchUp.

• 2018 DWG / DXF import and export
• Tape Measure tool: The length of selected edges, areas of faces, and coordinates of guides and intersections can be viewed from an inference tip.

LayOut - New Features

• File Locking: If a file is opened in two separate LayOut instances, it will temporarily lock the file as “read only” preventing unintentional edits.
• DWG support: It is now simpler to export and adjust units when importing DWGs.
• Dashed lines: With the introduction of dashed lines in SketchUp, LayOut now has the ability to modify how those lines styles are displayed.
• SketchUp Export: ‘Export for SketchUp’ has been added to the DWG/DXF exporter, so that SketchUp better interprets the data, groups are read as components and fills/patterns are read as faces.

• Filled Section Cuts;
• Section planes have names and symbols, making them easy to find, organize, and edit;
• Section planes are now an entity in SketchUp Pro: search for them in the Outliner, group them and control visibility at the Layers panel;
• Components now feature attribute fields like price, size, URL, owner and status;
• Aggregated Reports: 'Generate Report' now aggregates component data so you can do things like configure reports to sum parts and quantities for schedules and cutlists, or create detailed estimates by adding up prices by layer;
• BIM: improved IFC export to collaborate even beter with other 3D applications;
• Draw rectangles from its centre, just like polygons and circles;
• STL import and export for 3D printing;
• Anti-aliasing on Mac;
• Improved upgrade: settings and preferences will be taken over from an older version.
• LayOut 2018 contains the following enhancements:
  
  • Scaled vector drawings: no more recalculating, select the scale and draw 1:1 on A4 format for example;
  • Direct DWG import;
  • Editing groups works the same as in SketchUp, so the visibility of the rest fades away temporarily;
  • Accuracy until 6 digits behind the comma;
  • Multi Viewport: display a dimension between 2 views of the same design;
  • Label information will also show the new advanced attributes;
  • Lock entities for better control over the document;
  • Improved drawing tools.

• Performance Improvements: This release contains some major improvements to the graphics pipeline, resulting in faster orbiting and drawing.
• Transparency Improvements: Transparency now renders at higher quality and faster too! SketchUp is also better at displaying multiple transparencies to provide a more realistic sense of depth across several clear faces.
• Smart Offset: No more overlapping and self-intersecting geometry, just hit 'F' for clean offsets!
• Perpendicular Face Inferencing: Hover a face and SketchUp will helpfully snap to its perpendicular.
• Righteous Rectangles: The Rectangle tools now support arrow-key axis-locking.
• High-DPI Modeling: Tuned snapping and inferencing, and smart-scaled edge weights on high definition monitors.
• Color Blindness: Customization for the colors that display SketchUp's axes and inferencing, so that people with color blindness can tweak the color schemes to make SketchUp just work for them.
• Easier Storage: Customizable storage paths for components, materials and templates.
• Extension Manager: A new utility with a one-look view of your SketchUp extensions, making it more easy to toggle on and off custom tools.
• LayOut 2017 contains the following enhancements:
  
  • Tables: Great documents come with important information. That's why you could now add tables to LayOut: from scratch or import a .csv or Excel. LayOut references your original spreadsheet, so updating is also easy as 'Click'.
  • High Fidelity DWG's: LayOut's DWG exporter has been overhauled and now offers: One DWG with seperate tabs with multipage documents; LayOut entities like dimensions, clipping mask and labels will now longer explode into raw geometry and behave as expected in AutoCAD; LayOut exports are now smart enough to self scale for paper size or model space;'Color-by-Layer' option, so all entities on a given layer may export as one color.
  • Easier Selecting: Select an object in LayOut without accidentally moving it.
  • Persistent ID's: Points, edges and faces now have an identifier. When making a change to a SketchUp model, any LayOut dimensions associated with the model update to reflect the edit.

• Support for Mac OS X El Capitan and Windows 10.
• Trimble Connect is now integrated in SketchUp Pro. Connect is Trimble's platform for storing, syncing, referencing, sharing and collaborating on design and building projects. Trimble Connect will be accessible directly from the File menu and will give users the opportunity to upload, download and update SKP's from the project folders.
• SketchUp Pro 2016 gives the user the opportunity to reload 3D Warehouse models. Every instance used in the model will be reloaded, so it is a helpful method for working with proxy models, if you break something or collaborate through the warehouse.
• SketchUp Pro 2016 offers slicker inferencing and locking. This improvement is an entire set of smart tweaks to inferencing and locking, including off-axis inferences, expanded arrow key locking, improved arc/cicle inferencing, axes tool flexibilty and inference hidden section planes.
• SketchUp on Windows now have customizable utility trays, which means the user will be able to group dialogs under separate tabs.
• In SketchUp 2016, the material library has been refreshed with 40 new contemporary textures and entirely new categories.
• High DPI toolbar icons, cursors and graphics for a much cleaner look and better display on high-res screens.

  • Off: Sketchup will load any extension;
  • Approve Mode: users will be prompted to load a non-certified extension;
  • Secure Mode: only certified extensions will be loaded.
• Improved SketchUp C API with over 100 new classes and functions.
• LayOut 2016 contains the following improvements:
  
  • LayOut has an improved layer system, including multi-layer groups, maintaining layers when copy/paste, a 'Move to' layer command, differentiating between shared and non-shared and layer visibility on new pages.
  • Say goodbye to missing references! With this release, LayOut's reference objects are now web friendly. This means that LayOut projects can reference and update files that are stored and synced with service like Dropbox, Google Drive and Trimble Connect Sync. LayOut will notify the user when there's an update for the web reference available.
  • LayOut now has small dimensions to ensure that text never interferes with arrows or lines.
  • Optimized PDF export from LayOut with up to 10x smaller documents.
  • With the LayOut API, developers can build extensions to automate the creation and customization of .layout files from SketchUp models.

• 64-Bit: Besides an overall speed increasement, this is especially an improvement when working with complex models, exporting images and animations or using a rendering plugin.
• Friendlier licensing: licenses can now be used on a Mac or a PC. Also networked licenses has been made easier too.
• New Arc Tools: two point arcs will be displayed as a tangent arc instead of a dotted line. A three point arc allows drawing an arc by specifying 3 points. The pie-tool contains a protractor now.
• Rotated Rectangle tool: rectangles can be created in arbitrary orientations during creation.
• Face Finder: this tool, which creates faces when modelling, has been improved and will make actions like 'Explode' significantly faster and even more reliable.
• BIM-tools: IFC import is also possible now and the classifier tool has been enhanced
• Fast Styles: special badges have been added to indicate whether the Style being used will help SketchUp’s rendering performance.
• Improved Polygon tool: The polygon tool now allows the creation of both circumscribed and inscribed polygons via a modifier key (Ctrl on Windows, Option on Mac).

• LayOut 2015 contains the following improvements:
  
  • 64 Bit: LayOut is also 64 bit now, enabling speed improvements when working in large documents.
  • Two segmented labels: The new two segmented leader labels can easily be aligned with other labels to give drawings a polished and professional appearance.
  • Autotext labels: A label can display information from the model at choice now, like a BIM classification, an attribute of a dynamic component or simply the surface of a face. Because the labels are autotext, the labels will automatically update when updating the 3D model!
  • Spell Checking: The Windows version now have spell checking (only Windows 8.0 and 8.1); Mac already has this feature.
  • Multiselect: perform actions one more than one layer or page by shift-selecting multiple layers or multiple pages.
  • Dynamic vector model loading: Vector models will now load when the page is viewed instead of when the document is loaded. This offers a performance increase when documents are opened.
