New updates in SketchUp for iPad give you more control over groups & components, more import and export options, more ways to customize your interface & toolbars, and more tools to streamline your modeling workflow.
When we launched SketchUp for iPad, we knew the freedom to model anywhere, and the ability to draw with Apple Pencil would amplify your creativity. These new enhancements boost modeling efficiency and make your design workflow even more your own. With support for hover, Dark Mode, a reimagined Flip tool, customizable shortcut toolbars, Solid Tools, support for DWG, and more, SketchUp for iPad gives you a smoother, more tailored modeling experience.
Import and export DWG & DXF across apps
SketchUp for iPad now supports DWG and DXF import and export; there’s no need to switch back and forth between desktop or web, and iPad applications to bring CAD files onto your iPad. Take your 2D concept from CAD directly into iPad to quickly iterate in 3D and flesh out all the details. Headed back to CAD? Export DWG & DXF files right from iPad to add to your 2D base with the freshly updated files. Your workflow now extends across SketchUp apps and translates seamlessly between any software that relies on DWGs & DXFs.
Precision meets speed with hover
With the new M2 iPad Pro, you can hover Apple Pencil above your iPad and unlock SketchUp’s full inferencing capability. Hover to find an exact midpoint or endpoint, and draw accurately the first time without having to create additional guides or temporary geometry. Hovering also unlocks SketchUp’s pre-inference capability, so you can precisely align objects before you start drawing. Model with Apple Pencil even faster and more precisely on iPad.
