The video above shows a user adding an open window to a wall in a SketchUp project by sketching the outline of the frame, then adding diagonal strokes to the centre to indicate that the window is ajar. The machine-learning-trained tool “ doodles into 3D shapes”, with users able to scribble a simplified representation of an object and have SketchUp automatically generate it and orient it to the nearest surface. The firm’s blog post announcing the release includes demo videos of the iPad-only features, with a particular highlight being Autoshape.
Updated 21 April 2022: Trimble has officially released SketchUp for iPad. In it, Trimble product manager Jody Gates comments that the iPad app, “while very similar to the client, is not the same thing”, while this post from a beta tester suggests that it doesn’t support extensions. Other than that, there’s currently little information on Trimble’s website, although this thread on the SketchUp forum suggests that the iPad edition may not include all of the features from the desktop version. The new iPad edition integrates with Trimble Connect, the firm’s online collaboration platform, and will enable users to “move seamlessly” between the mobile, web and desktop editions of SketchUp. The new edition rectifies that, reimagining SketchUp workflow for use on a smaller screen, and for use with Apple Pencil and multi-touch input as well as a mouse and keyboard.Īccording to Trimble, SketchUp for iPad also adds a “variety of innovative capabilities”, including “Autoshape, Markup Mode, AR model viewing and dozens of user interface and workflow enhancements”. The new edition will enable users to design on an iPad using gesture controls or the Apple Pencil stylus, and will feature “innovative capabilities Autoshape Markup Mode”.Ī full version of SketchUp for iPad, to complement the existing SketchUp ViewerĪlthough Trimble has had an app for viewing SketchUp models on iOS devices for some years now, it wasn’t previously possible to actually design in SketchUp on an iPad.
