SketchUp for Desktop: Collaboration in SketchUp – You can now share SketchUp models through a private invite or by creating and sharing a public link. Those you share your model with can navigate your model, take measurements, leave comments, and even see updates in real-time. Visualization – SketchUp 26.0 introduces a Distance Multiplier and color controls for Ambient Occlusion, the ability to invert a material’s roughness map, and the much-requested ability to choose the thumbnail you prefer when viewing your materials. Performance – Sketchup 2026.0 improves both memory and working efficiency, making Sketchup more efficient, faster, and reliable. These performance updates are especially noticeable when working with large models. Live Components – SketchUp 2026.0 adds functionality to the Scale tool (), adding grips allowing you to place and size Live Components by inference. Since you can now use the Paint Tool () to apply materials outside of a component’s predefined options, we’ve added several quality-of-life improvements to painting Live Components. Modeling Workflows and Interface Updates – SketchUp 2026.0 includes several notable improvements across scaling, rotating, scenes, and inferencing. Managing Activations – You can now reset all activations and authorize your current device without leaving SketchUp for Desktop. Interoperability – SketchUp 2026.0 now offers several fidelity and efficiency improvements for importing and exporting DWG files. This includes hatch support and preserving section planes. The IFC export workflow has also been enhanced, consolidating IFC 2x3 and IFC 4 into a single file type with expanded Export Options. Scan Essentials – Scan Essentials includes two new point cloud modeling workflows, the Texture Projection and Mesh Generation tools. The new Scene Manager better controls the visibility of point clouds in both SketchUp and Layout. With this update, you can also easily revert to the original georeferenced |

New Graphics Engine – SketchUp graphics engine got an upgrade! This new graphics engine takes advantage of emerging hardware and software technologies, providing notable improvements in file navigation and responsiveness. Ambient Occlusion – A new face style that adds visual emphasis to the way edges and faces interact in your models, providing depth and realism within SketchUp. Trimble Connect and Link Sharing – SketchUp for Desktop now includes a native Trimble Connect integration. With Trimble Connect you can easily share a link to a view-only version of your model and quickly access your .skp files across devices. Add Location – The new Add Location simplifies the process of adding high-quality, accurate terrain, including an updated workflow, a visible True North arrow, and improved import options. IFC Import and Export Improvements – Importing IFC files into SketchUp is now faster and more predictable. We’ve also made multiple updates to IFC-4 exports that help maintain data consistency and optimized files, including a geometry tessellation option and multiple upgrades to how your components are exported. USDZ & gITF Interoperability – Newly added import and export functionality for both USDZ and gITF files opens up new possibilities for advanced visualization workflows and seamless transitions to and from industry-standard digital content creation tools. Scan Essentials Ground Mesh – The new Ground Mesh tool in Scan Essentials can quickly and easily turn a 3D point cloud scan into an accurate, quad-face based terrain mesh that you can edit and manipulate in SketchUp. Extension Error Dialog – If one of your extensions fails to load when you launch SketchUp, you’ll now see a new error dialog that can help you determine which extension is failing, update that extension if there is an update available, or uninstall it. Modeling Improvements – Various modeling improvements across core tools and features aim to increase productivity and help y |
