Icon refresh to SketchUp's user interface
New icons for Desktop and LayOut refresh the user interface.
Outside of scale figures and the axes, SketchUp's icons are likely your closest companions throughout the creative process. Recognizing the Push-Pull, Paint Bucket, or Follow Me tools at a glance and their keyboard shortcuts are one of the keys to unlocking SketchUp’s powerful, efficient modeling. We know you rely on this familiarity, so we don't make changes to our user interface lightly.
For the first time in 11 years, icons in SketchUp for Desktop and LayOut got a total makeover. The updated icons won't change the size or layout of your toolbar, so you still have ample modeling space and the option to reorder tools based on your favorites. It's a modern look that maintains the functionality you already know.
