In other 3D, CAD, and BIM software programs, the use of вЂњlayersвЂќ tends to mean more than just controlling visibility. вЂњLayersвЂќ was always the wrong word in SketchUp.

The big new change in version 2020 of SketchUp is that layers are now renamed as вЂњtags.вЂќ One might think that renaming something is hardly much of a change, but in truth, there is much more to this adjustment.

Our primary goal with this review is to review SketchUp Studio, which encapsulates SketchUp Pro and Sefaira and to partly introduce the reader to SefairaвЂ™s energy and daylight analysis features.Д«ut first, letвЂ™s review the new in SketchUp 2020.

Insofar as architects are concerned, or even AEC users at large, that subject of Ecosystem versus Modeler is one Architosh will have to in full force in another article. When I asked Hariharan Natarajan, Customer Success Manager, Trimble, if this assumption was correct he confirmed by saying that вЂњthere are lots of specialties and types of users of SketchUp and they all have unique needs.вЂќДЄnd in mentioning the vast ecosystem known as Extension Warehouse, he says, вЂњSo we have created a platform that SketchUp users can plug into and just self-serve,вЂќ meaning that what users get today with SketchUp is a powerful and popular 3D modeler where they can direct their attention to thousands of extensions written by third-parties to tailor SketchUp to their specific purposes. In other words, the assumption is that Trimble is letting third parties tackle more advanced features in modeling powers. TrimbleвЂ™s development efforts over the years have largely been focused on other areas in some regard, SketchUp as a modeler is fully matured for what the company wants in its core capabilities. We noted in our 2014 review that there really werenвЂ™t any major new modeling functionalities added to SketchUp compared to prior versions. SketchUp Pro is still the most popular version of the software used in AEC workflows, while SketchUp Free and SketchUp Shop are versions for personal use.

These tools are now included in what is known as SketchUp Studio, TrimbleвЂ™s flagship version of the software. (WeвЂ™ll mention more notes on BIM and SketchUp toward the ends of the review).ДЄlso new since our last review six years ago, Trimble acquired Sefaira, the popular energy analysis software that works with BIM tools and SketchUp models. For starters, while IFC export was new in SketchUp 2014 when we reviewed it that year, somewhere along the way IFC import was also supported. Since that time a lot has taken place in the world of SketchUp. It has been since August of 2014 that we last published a review of SketchUp and in that version (SketchUp 2014) the big news was the support of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) file format in the worldвЂ™s most popular 3D modeler.
