SketchUp Pro 2014

New Features and Improvements

SketchUp Pro 2014 offers you the following new features and improvements:

3D Warehouse

  • More Model Information: Now, information like the file size and the number of polygons and used materials is displayed next to the model.
  • A New Look: 3D Warehouse has been rebuilt from the ground up and is easier to use and it looks a million times better too.
  • WebGL Viewer: Preview models in full 3D before downloading them into your project (WebGL compatible browser needed).
  • Direct Model Upload: Upload 3D models directly from your web browser without the need to open SketchUp Pro (downloading was already possible).
  • Upload Bigger Models: The maximum file size of models that can be uploaded has increased with a factor 5: from 10 to 50 megabytes.

3D Warehouse

Interoperability

  • BIM Classifier (Pro only): Tag geometry with industry-standard object types (walls, slabs, roofs, etc.) and improve its compatibility with other BIM tools.
  • IFC Export (Pro only): Export an IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) file, wrapping up your model with 3D geometry and valuable metadata for use in another BIM application.
  • Ruby 2.0: A shiny new platform for extension developers with improved support for non-english characters, section plane plugins, text and dimension tools, and more.

Tag geometry with industry-standard object types

3D Modeling & Performance

  • New Arc Tools: Draw arcs using three different methods:
    • 2-Point Arc Tool: pick two end points and a third that defines the 'bulge'.
    • Center Point Arc: Pick the center point of your arc and then pick two points on the edge.
    • Pie Arc Tool: this one works the same as the Center Point Arc, but creates a wedge-shaped face.
  • Faster Shadows: An average speed improvement of 15x when working with shadows in big and complicated models.

LayOut 2014 (Pro Only)

  • Auto-Text: Page numbering! Use presets or your own Auto text tags (e.g. 'Today's Date', 'Page Number' or 'Project Title') in your documents to improve accuracy and save hours of repetitious work.
  • Smart Labels: Labels you add are automatically pre-populated with relevant information, like the area when labeling a face, the length when labeling an edge or the name when labeling a component.
  • Improved Vector Rendering: Another 15x improvement in speed for your vector-rendered model views.
  • Snappier Performance: Long-document functionality has been much improved and is now faster than ever.
