Here's a peek at the value and recent improvements your subscription helps us deliver:

1. Continuous Innovation & Enhancements

We're relentlessly focused on making the tools you use every single day even better. Lately, we've rolled out some pretty cool updates across the suite, including:

• Powerful New Modeling Tools: We're making the core modeling experience faster and more intuitive with improved inferencing, snapping, and new features that simplify even complex geometry.
• LayOut Performance Boosts: We've dedicated significant effort to making LayOut zippier and more dependable for cranking out those high-quality 2D documents from your 3D models.

• Improved Interoperability: We want SketchUp to play nicely with your other tools! That's why we've beefed up support for file formats like IFC, DWG, and DXF, strengthening your BIM and collaboration capabilities.

   

2. Enhanced Performance and Stability

We get it—performance is everything. A big chunk of our development work happens "under the hood" to make your experience smoother and more seamless.

• Faster Graphics: Our graphics engine has gotten an upgrade, meaning quicker and smoother orbiting, panning, and zooming, even with your biggest, most intricate models.

• Increased Stability: We're constantly squashing bugs and improving stability so you can design with confidence and fewer interruptions.

   

3. The Power of the SketchUp Ecosystem

Your subscription isn't just about one application; it unlocks a full suite of powerful products that work together, helping you take your project from the first spark of an idea to its grand completion:

• Cross-Platform Access: Design fluidly on your desktop with SketchUp Pro, on the go with SketchUp for iPad, and in any browser with SketchUp for Web.
• Unlimited Cloud Storage: Use Trimble Connect for secure, cloud-based storage, effortless collaboration, and version control, all accessible from anywhere.
• Vast Content Libraries: Dive into the 3D Warehouse for millions of ready-to-use models and the Extension Warehouse to customize SketchUp with specialized tools that fit your unique workflow.

• Advanced Visualization: Bring your ideas to life with photorealistic rendering (in Studio with V-Ray®) and immersive AR/VR viewing on your mobile devices.

   

The value of SketchUp Pro and Studio, in particular, has truly expanded. They've become the central hub of a robust ecosystem that supports your entire design, documentation, and collaboration journey.

We are incredibly grateful for your continued loyalty and support. We're more excited than ever about the future of SketchUp and are confident that our suite of products will help you achieve your design goals more effectively and creatively than ever before.
