What’s new in SketchUp
SketchUp’s newest capabilities drop seamlessly into your workflow. Non-destructive design tools, faster documentation and file exports, and a modern, organized workspace power your momentum from first concept to final deliverable.
Iterate faster with native, non-destructive modeling in tools you already know. Refine your model without rebuilding geometry, plus new parametric objects automatically fit to faces in your model, and section cuts convey accurate material hatch patterns.
Your software should move as fast as you do. Improved graphics offer peak speed in file loading, rendering and exports. Draw Mode lets you draw in 2D with total freedom from page constraints, and in-app image adjustments mean you can do more in LayOut.
Experience a consistent interface and feature set plus rock-solid stability across Mac and Windows. Dynamic multi-file control lets you navigate quickly between models for streamlined editing and customize your tools with a new workspace organization.
Accelerate design-to-documentation workflows across the file formats your team already relies on. Stronger CAD, BIM and 3D integrations keep geometry and data intact, so sharing models between software stays fast and friction-free.
