Speed – SketchUp is now faster, up to 5x faster depending on models and hardware.įorce Inference Directions ± itÝs now easier to tell SketchUp exactly which direction you want using the arrow keys. Fog – you can now add atmospheric haze to a model with the new fog display.ģD Text Tool ± itÝs easy to create signs and letters directly from simple outlines, filled surfaces and fully extruded 3D text using most fonts on your computer. Sketchy Edges – an additional render capability to make the edges look as if they were drawn by hand.

Watermarks could be used to simulate paper textures beneath a model or can be used to place logos and other graphics directly on the screen. Watermarks – images placed in the background or foreground of the drawing area and span the entire area just as sky and ground. It can be used to match an existing model with a background photo or one can start from scratch with a photo and then trace over it in 3D. So with the launch of SketchUp 6, hereÝs a run-down of key new features that are available in the basic free version: Photo Match – provides a way to set up a camera view so that the modelling environment matches up with a photograph. While this is fun for kids and hobbyists it also benefits the serious architect as when you are talking Google Earth, it really is as in-context as you are virtually going to get. ItÝs now linked into Google Earth and the 3D Warehouse, a project where SketchUp is allowing anyone to build a ÙWikiÝ 3D world of buildings in Google Earth. I reckon 30 minutes of tutorials and you will be ready to have a crack at modelling your first project.Įase of use must have been one of the key reasons why Google purchased the company and with GoogleÝs methodology of giving away applications, SketchUp followed suit. If you want to get an idea across, quickly, it can be done in SketchUp. ItÝs flexible enough to rough out most designs and it goes so far that you could make your model in-context with satellite data bitmaps, sun shadows and topology. SketchUp is neat, cool and multiplatform, I can happily run it on my Mac or PC and it feels like the same application.įundamentally, SketchUp is about making shapes and extruding them, or punching holes in them and adding groups of geometry together to make faceted models.
SKETCHUP 6 HOW TO
However, the downside is that you still need to own and know how to drive the big expensive CAD seat. SketchUp is found everywhere from small one man bands to large global practices and it has inspired even some of the main CAD vendors to try and copy the feature set. The other thing you can try is switch off Fast Feedback in SketchUp’s OpenGL preferences.SketchUpÝs success was mainly due to low cost, ease of use and a pent up need for such tools. Reversing the Windows display numbers fixed the issue (along with a rigmarole of moving the SketchUp windows back to the “primary” display before revert the Windows display numbers.) My only problem has been a lockup when SketchUp opens on the “secondary” display and that display is the internal notebook display, whilst an external monitor is set as the “primary” display.

No apparent problems with Fast Feedback “on” as other Intel users have. I have since tested all SketchUp trial versions that are supported under Windows 10, in the order they were released, … and have had few issues running any of them with either the integrated Intel UHD 630 or the Nvidia GTX 1060.
SKETCHUP 6 INSTALL
I did have an issue where Win 10 decided to install an older graphics driver then I had installed direct from Nvidia, but I reinstalled an even newer driver afterward myself.
SKETCHUP 6 UPDATE
(Your profile seems to indicate the Win version as the initial “out-of-the-box” version.) Mine took a couple of update cycles and reboots but it is now up to version 1803. The first thing I did was have Windows update all the OS components. I yet have not needed to run the slow select patch.īut I am an IT geek.
SKETCHUP 6 WINDOWS 10
I just got a new Windows 10 machine myself ~ 3 weeks ago. If you do want to disable the fix, please download and run this script: (Please make sure SketchUp is closed when you run the script). Please let us know in the form if you have any questions.
SKETCHUP 6 PRO
Please download and run this script to apply the fix to SketchUp Pro 2018: We have a potential fix for SketchUp Pro 2018 (does not apply to 2017). We’ve seen some issues on Windows 10 where recent updates are causing the Select tool to have some lag.
