New Version Enhances Platform, Adding Speed, Collaboration and Interoperability Capabilities for Better 3D Modeling Results are watching, learning, and working hard to progress just as fast.īTW, if you missed my thoughts on SketchUp 2014 and the new world of BIM, read that here before or after digesting the press release below. I hope Graphisoft, Nemetschek, Autodesk, et al. With each new release, I get more optimistic about the health of the AEC software space in general. The speed of improvements and continued evolution of SketchUp since being acquired by Trimble continue to impress me. Will 2016 see some form of work sharing? If it does, hot damn and holy fuck. So now that SketchUp is in the 64-bit league, and continues to improve it’s IFC capabilities, the big remaining question is internal collaboration. The details remain to be seen, but the fact that it can harness all the RAM on a machine is a clear sign that SketchUp is being ramped up to handle some amazing complexity. It seemed odd that SketchUp still wasn’t. The other major BIM players have been (more or less) 64-bit for sometime. SketchUp maxing out at 4 gigs of RAM due to it’s 32-bit nature was (in my opinion) one of the few remaining examples of it being a second class BIM program. For example, you might get a bit frustrated when making domed surfaces because of the awkward attributes of the program’s Extrude tools.Jared’s Note: 64-bit and improved IFC ( more on both here) are a BIG FUCKING DEAL. There are however a few complications with SketchUp Make 2014.
Its ‘Shadow’ palette is also cool, allowing you to add realistic shadows to your model through easy sliders. The program also has impressive options, for example, the ‘Materials’ palette which has over 100 varying preset swatches, including metal, glass and vegetation. It is also designed with a neat and easily accessible toolbar which is placed on top of the interface. Plus, it is also designed with a prediction feature telling you where you might want to have your endpoints and closes them for you, which saves you time. SketchUp also guides its users to understand how they can make rectangles, circles, triangles, etc.
With this program, you can even tag anything you make on Google Earth.
On top of that, users these days need something which they can use conveniently and SketchUp Make 2014 offers simplicity on top of anything else. But you don’t have to worry anymore as SketchUp Make 2014 has beaten most of them in terms of both pricing and performance.
You would be surprised to know how expensive most 3D modeling programs are.
