When you make changes in LayOut, parts of the menu bar will go dark gray, alerting you that you’ve made an override. Meaning, you can safely change a style or camera angle directly in LayOut without accidentally losing your changes. LayOut now understands a lot more about your SketchUp model and what you’ve overridden. Now you have more editing ability right in LayOut. Way less going back and forth updating scenes in SketchUp to ensure your drawing comes out perfectly. It’s all about taking back control… document control that is! We focused on improving the interaction between SketchUp and LayOut to save you time and energy. Also, Layers are now referred to as “Tags”. Now you can save those syllables for words like “stupendous” and “dapper” (Why, thank you! We think you are too.). This just means we don’t have to say “groups (slash) components” anymore. Objects are now a collective term for groups, components, and dynamic components. We think they make logic a little more prevalent. This won’t change your workflow, but we want you to know that it’s not just you - we are talking about a few things differently now. 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)… yes, you can do that in SketchUp! Landscape architects, rejoice!Īfter many conversations, we decided to update some of our naming conventions. 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. Don’t take our word for it: start positioning those objects in hard to reach places to see that SketchUp magic!Īnnouncing a big change to hiding objects in your models! You’ll notice in your drop-down menu that we decoupled hiding objects from hiding geometry. Fancy, huh? This will literally ‘transform’ your workflow.
This works with both the Rotate tool and Move tool. We recommend using this (and our friendly eyeball icon) to toggle between the major chunks of your model like main floor plans. You can do your main model organization straight within Outliner. In an effort to increase model performance, you no longer have to create Layers upon Layers. We want to make sure we continue to be the more intuitive, easier (because we know no software is EASY) to use software that boosts your ability to crank out those stunning design projects. This year, we focused on data structures and modeling behaviors.
