We know managing long lists of tags and scenes can be cumbersome, particularly with complex models that you’re setting up for 2D documentation in LayOut. Our latest improvements to tags help you to do just that. Just like you wouldn’t stock your spice rack without labeling all the jars, you don’t want to kick off your design without a clear and organized model structure. Working with Add Location ensures you're designing with the most accurate information possible, setting you up for design success. Bringing top-quality, hi-res aerial imagery for accurate site placement, you can now provide contextual site data, taking your final product to the next level thanks to these SketchUp 2021 updates. Once you’ve ironed out the details for your site and designed an architecturally accurate model, the natural next step is to bring real-world site data into your model with Add Location. The forecast is sunny with PreDesign, see for yourself. By getting things right at the start, you’ll avoid wasting your precious design time and resources and avoid costly rework. PreDesign is here, as part of the greater SketchUp update, to inspire and enhance your design narrative with meaningful climate observations while alleviating some of the heavy-lifting from your workflow to ensure you start each project in the right direction or at least the right orientation. “ Its compelling visual outputs and intelligent talking points also help us clearly communicate the value of our proposals to clients." “ PreDesign provides useful information that we need to position our projects for better design outcomes from the very start,” said Adam Osterhoff, principal architect at Heartwood Studio. Talk about getting things right from the get-go by utilizing new tools with these SketchUp updates. Intuitive sun path diagrams in SketchUp’s latest version show you the areas of your site that need to be shielded from overheating sun.Īnd it doesn’t just flag the issues PreDesign suggests effective glazing, shading, and top-lighting strategies for each face of your building. Pulling site-specific weather data, PreDesign connects the dots between climate and building type, suggesting appropriate architectural responses. “ With PreDesign, we’re providing designers with the insights they need to take a truly holistic approach to creating suitable design strategies and communicating value to their clients.” “ Although SketchUp is a fantastic way to develop ideas in 3D, we are continuously exploring new capabilities and saw tremendous value in making it easy for our users to include design research in their pre-design workflows,” said Andrew Corney, PE, M.CIBSE, M.ASHRAE, product director at Trimble. Our brand new climate research tool helps you to better understand the local environment surrounding your project before you dive into design in 3D. This synergy requires a comprehensive understanding of a site’s context before plans are even drawn. We know that as AEC professionals you’re always striving for a reality where every addition to the built environment works in harmony with its natural surroundings. Say hi to Sumele when you arrive on the axis, and get to know her a little better on our blog. Whether it’s building a complex marketing campaign, designing a structure with grace & humility, or raising two beautiful boys in the chaos that is 2020, she is the (always smiling) solid base that projects need to succeed in SketchUp. She is our Strategic Enterprise Marketing Manager and knows a thing or two about the importance of starting a complicated project on a strong foundation. That’s why we are proud to introduce an architecturally-trained, Nigerian mother of twins to represent our 2021 product: Sumele Aruofor. Not only do we strive to build the best product for a robust workflow, but we want to celebrate everything that comes out of SketchUp - from design projects to community-building events and the great work our employees do. It’s vital to us that we are always aware of how our decisions today will be reflected tomorrow, on the axis, and beyond. Not only did we take time to assess how we approach projects, but we also put great consideration into the ‘whys’ of our decisions. This year gave us the perspective and the opportunity to make SketchUp better at helping you start projects with a solid foundation, and the 2021 SketchUp updates do just that. And boy did we learn the importance of laying a planned foundation for a complicated project. Like many of you around the world, we used this time to tackle tasks we’ve been meaning to do for years. A global pandemic emerged and spread, shutting down our lives and forcing us to stay at home.
