Another year has passed, and we've loved every minute of watching the SketchUp community continue to grow. From exciting product releases to our new creative community and 3D Basecamp, check out a summary of all the fantastic things we got up to in 2024.
Product Updates
In Production
The 2024 release took a giant leap forward in delivering enhanced collaboration with link-sharing and visualization tools, adding a new layer of depth to the SketchUp interface. The Ambient Occlusion feature was one of our most significant visual enhancements, allowing users to produce stylized visuals similar to clay or white models. To top it all off, we completely redesigned the graphics engine to make complex models feel lighter and load faster.
In Labs
Harness the power of AI directly in SketchUp to create rendered images in seconds. With a text prompt, a simple model, or both, Diffusion can help you generate photorealistic visuals that capture your unique vision.
Scan-to-Design was the release of a groundbreaking workflow specifically for iPad, allowing users to scan, design, and collaborate — all in one app. Scan existing interior spaces and watch SketchUp, powered by Canvas, Apple, and Trimble's cutting-edge technology, transform your scan data into an intelligently organized SketchUp model.
