Mitä uutta SketchUp Pro 2022 tarjoaa?

Search

Firstintroduced in SketchUp for Web, Searchis now a SketchUp Pro feature thatallowsyou to quicklyfind and activate nativecommands and installed extensions. Insteadofspendingvaluabletimetrying to find or remember a tool in SketchUp, you cantype in the name or workflow-relatedquerysuch as  ‘elevation’, ‘boolean’, or ‘chamfer’ to quicklyfind it.

If you’re new to SketchUp, thiswillhelpyou get up to speed on the UI and toolset, allowingyou to focus on your design ratherthantrying to find a tool. Search by name or search for whatyouwant a tool to do in SketchUp and relevant results willappear.

For more experienced users, this will help reduce the amount of screen space devoted to toolbars. For example, instead of displaying all seven Joint Push/Pull toolbar icons, you can now search for ‘Joint Push/Pull’, and all commands associated with the extension show up. 

The best way to bring Search (default shortcut: Shift +S) into your workflow is to customize the shortcut so the command is easy to find. 

Search is localized in all officially supported languages. 

NEW AND IMPROVED MODELING TOOLS

In 2022, we’respeedingup, streamlining, and enhancingworkflows by introducing brand-new tools and considerableupdates to olderones. Youcansee the details in ourrelease notes, butherearesome highlights:

Lasso Select

The Lasso Select tool allows you to draw custom selection bounds without reorienting the camera. You can also create multiple discrete selections in one click-drag operation and select entities much faster with Stylus Inputs.

Lasso alsocomeswith a new default shortcut: Shift + Spacebar.

Stamp Copy

A new modifierstate for the Movetool(introduced in 2021.1.2), Stampenablesyou to make multiplecopiesof an entity, ‘stampingeach with just a click. Thistool is handy for naturallydispersingobjectsacross a given area. For example, youcanquicklyplace scalefigures or otherentourage in a landscape design. It’salsohelpful in makingmultiplecopiesalongoneaxis at irregular intervals, such as displayingcrosswalks in an urban design model. 

Tag Tool

Streamlinemodelorganization usingTag, a new toolthatallowsyou to clickentities or pre-selectedentities to apply tags. With the Tag Tool, youcan speed upmodelorganization by taggingobjectsdirectly in the modelingwindow, rapidlyclean upunwanted tags, and improvereportingfidelity by bulk modifying the taggingofcomponentinstances.

Freehand

We made a big update to the Freehand tool. With smoother curve entities, you can create organically drawn lines and Follow Me extrusions with more natural variance.  

Because Freehand’s output is smoother, the tool creates more segments. Immediately after drawing a curve, you can decrease the segmentation of the curve incrementally. SketchUp provides visual feedback with each increment. Freehand also receives axis locking input to specify a drawing plane, and it’s now possible to draw across adjacent faces on different planes.  

Hot tip: Freehand curves are particularly satisfying to create with a Stylus. 

Tangent Inference Lock

Using the new Tangent Inference Toggles for 2-Point and 3-Point Arc tools, you can now quickly specify and lock arc tangency from an existing edge or arc. Not only is the tangent arc more predictable, but it also allows you to create curved faces in a shorter amount of time.

If yougenerate architecturalvisualization outputs or constructiondocumentation, youprobablycreate a lotof different scenes to communicate the design details. This results in having to visuallyscan long Scene lists withcodednamesWithScene Search, a new search filter adjacent to the Scenestab, youcannowquicklyidentify and jump to yourdesiredscene.

More modeling modifications

In 2021.1, wefocused on improving the consistency of how modeling worked from tool to tool,specifically on our ten coretools. Thereare a coupleofnotable toolbehaviorchanges to Tape Measure, Classifier, Position Texture, and directional inferencingtooltips in this release.

Layout

SketchUp 2023 release Date

WithAuto-Textupdates and Find & Replace, LayOuthelpsyouwork faster and more efficientlythaneverbefore. 

Viewport-based Auto-Text labels

In addition to existing labels that pull entity or component attributes from SketchUp viewports in LayOut, we are introducing new Auto-Text tags that can be selected from the Auto-Text menu in label creation or templated labels.  

You can use all of these labels in scrapbooks or with transparent label leaders. This means that you can drag Auto-Text labels in from a scrapbook, hit Enter to drag the label leader, and then the value associated with that Viewport automatically displays.

SketchUp 2023 release Date

These tags include , , , , and ()> parameter input. 

With new and improved Viewport-based Auto-Text labels, you can use more of the information embedded in SketchUp models while composing documents, making your templates more powerful and efficient. For instance, you can pick your Scene name or description using an Auto-Text tag to automatically populate a drawing title. Then use a tag to show the scale of the current viewport. If the scale of the model Viewport changes, the scale call out will automatically update.  

Explore how to use them in our Help Center documentation.

Page Management Auto-Text

Manuallycreating and maintaining a table of contentscan be time-consuming and error-prone, but it doesn’thave to be with new enhancements in title block management.

Complementingourexisting > tag, <PageCount> displays the numberof pages in a rangeyoucandefine. With >, userscanspecify the start page (where a particularrange starts), character style, and the last page of the range. This feature is usefulwhendeveloping an index or table ofcontents at the beginningofyourLayOutdocument.

SketchUp 2023 release Date

With the tag, you can use the name of a page that is not the current page. For example, if you want to display the name of a page in the third position of your document, you’ll input . Even better, the page name dynamically updates when pages are added, deleted, or re-ordered, saving time when developing and finalizing your table of contents.

Sequence Auto-Text

A long-standing feature request, Sequence Auto-Text is a new Auto-Text tag that automatically increments when duplicated. These tags are used to annotate drawings and figures rapidly, create numbered drawing titles, legends, and many other use cases that would previously require text editing between each copy. Like Auto-Text, you can duplicate and repurpose the Sequence tag as many times as you’d like. 

If you delete a sequence tag, you can renumber text boxes for a given sequence tag across an entire document quickly and easily using a single command – Renumber Sequence.

To help you get started with all of the new Auto-Text features in LayOut, we’re adding two new pages to each of LayOut’s title block scrapbooks.

Find & Replace text

There are several ways to quickly create and copy text across multiple pages in a LayOut document, but modifying text across an entire document has always been difficult. You need to inspect every page and text box of your document. That’s why you’ll love Find & Replace in LayOut! With Find & Replace, changes to text in a selection, a page, or a document is a much quicker process. This not only helps speed up the quality assurance process, but you can update drawing titles, page numbers, specified building materials, and fix typos more efficiently.  

As in other applications, Find & Replace can be activated with the Ctrl/Command + F shortcut and from the Text menu in LayOut.

SketchUp 2023 release Date

Zoom Selection

Eliminate zoom lag with the new Zoom Selection context commandadopted from SketchUp. WhenLayOut pages grow in detail and complexity, theycanbecome hard to navigatewith the Scroll-to-Zoom functionality. Now, youcanjump to yourdesired Zoom level in a given selection in LayOut, lowering the likelihoodofunwelcomed lags on zoom in or out.

Performance and quality improvements

Native M1 Support for SketchUp on Mac

We are now offering a universal installer that enables SketchUp Pro to run on Mac devices with the M1 hardware platform (introduced in late 2020). 

The 2022 installer also supports SketchUp’s installation and operation on Mac devices that have Intel processors. This means Apple users don’t need to determine which chipset powers Mac in order to install SketchUp Pro.  

Entities Builder API

Generatelargeamountsofgeometry faster using the Ruby API with the new Entities Builder API interface. For userswhogeneratelargeamountsofgeometry, you’llnotice a much speedier process.

SketchUp 2023 release Date

Using the existing .obj importer code in the image above, the tower with 22,000 faces imports at 389 seconds, or about six and a half minutes. With the new Entities Builder API interface, the same tower imports in under nine seconds.

Other noticeable quality improvements include Explode Performance, Camera Clipping, and Section Planes.
