On Windows machines, we’ve re-worked SketchUp’s floating utility dialogs (Styles, Scenes, Components, etc.) so that they neatly stack inside customizable, completely collapsible trays. Additional improvements are identified in the “Tools” and “Inferencing” sections below. Miscellaneous improvements: We’ve also tweaked the Move, Protractor, Offset, and Rotate tools with miscellaneous improvements to improve usability and close up a few loose ends. This functionality extends to snapping to elements of a SketchUp model in LayOut too: pay attention for a new inference tip “Intersection with Hidden Section.” Inference hidden, active section planes: SketchUp will now recognize intersection points with hidden section planes. Another bonus, you can now change the number of segments using new modifier keys (check out the status bar right after you’ve drawn an arc/circle).Īxes tool flexibility: A small but useful change: when changing axes orientation, you can now toggle through the exact axes you’d like to pick first using the Alt (PC)/Command (Mac) modifier. While we were at it, we improved SketchUp’s ability to visualize arc endpoints. These tools include Arc/Pie, Rotated Rectangle, Rotation, Protractor, Polygon, Circle and the Section Plane tool.Īrc/circle: SketchUp will now easily inference circle and arc centers. Additionally, you can now lock normals or rotation axis or surface normals prior to first click for tools that leverage a protractor or create a surface. Right = Red, Left = Green, Up = Blue, Down = Magenta. Each arrow key corresponds to a lockable color. Also keep an eye out for the new “Extend Edge” tooltip with magenta highlighting when extending lines with the pencil tool.Įxpanded Arrow Key locking: More tools now allow the use of arrow keys to quickly lock to a direction or plane. Now when you are using the parallel and perpendicular inferences, sketchUp will highlight in magenta, the entity which direction is based off of.

This is particularly handy for drawing extending edges on off-axis planes. Improved Parallel and Perpendicular Inferences: We’ve improved parallel and perpendicular inference display along with the ability to force the last referenced edge or plane (depending on tool) with the down arrow. Here’s a brief description of what’s new: This improvement is actually an entire set of smart tweaks we’ve made to inferencing and locking. In this release, we’ve oiled that engine to provide slicker inferencing and locking across the board. Learning and utilizing SketchUp’s inference engine makes for fast and precise modeling. Enhanced inferencing and tool improvements You can even save your formatted report as a reporting template, to speed the process of re-running the same reports as the design changes. The new Generate Report feature allows you to choose which attributes are exported (including a new attribute for capturing quantities), assign an order for the columns in your report, and specify a units format. And if your component was downloaded from 3D Warehouse, you can also use the context-click to quickly access its 3DWH details page.

This action will reload every instance of that component in your model (similar to the same action in the Components dialog), so it’s a helpful method for working with proxy models.

In SketchUp 2016, a context click on a component gives you the opportunity to reload (or swap out) a new component directly from 3D Warehouse.

As you’re modeling you can even pull in and update reference SketchUp models as if they were locally hosted components. Trimble Connect allows users to publish, open, import reference files and update SKPs from Trimble Connect project folders. If you already have an account for 3D Warehouse or Extension Warehouse, we recommend that you use the same login (email) when creating a Trimble Connect Account. Once you've signed up then start uploading. Trimble Connect is a new way to store, sync, reference, share, and collaborate on design/build projects.
