Extension Manager also displays an extension’s Digital Signature, the indication it meets our standard for quality and security. From here, it’s easy to toggle on and off custom tools (or uninstall them entirely). Basically, every sliver of your model just got smarter.Ī new utility, Extension Manager is a one-look view of your SketchUp extensions. These are identifiers for geometry that help SketchUp (and its extensions) manipulate individual entities, like a specific edge or face. This is possible thanks to a new feature across the SketchUp platform called Persistent IDs.
SKETCHUP MAKE 2017 UPDATE
Now, when you make a change to your SketchUp model, any LayOut dimensions associated with the model update to reflect your edit. We hope people with any degree of color blindness will tweak these important color schemes to make SketchUp and LayOut work just right.

In SketchUp 2017, we’re introducing customization for the colors that display SketchUp’s axes and inferencing. By default, black linework exports so that it renders as black on a white background and white on a black background.

We’ve added an oft-requested ‘Color-by-Layer’ option to CAD exports, so all entities on a given layer may export as one color. Drawing entities like labels and polygons scale to paper size. LayOut exports are now smart enough to self-scale for paper size or model space. Now, they’ll import smartly into AutoCAD and behave just as expected. In the old days, LayOut entities like dimensions, clipping masks, and labels would explode into raw geometry upon export. DWG with ten separate tabs for each page. Previously, a ten page LayOut file would export as ten separate. DWG/.DXF exporter to make their lives a lot easier. Many people use linework from SketchUp in other CAD applications. LayOut references your original spreadsheet, so updating every Table in your document is as simple as… click! Tables behave just like other spreadsheets: edit text, style cells, modify columns and rows… you get the gist. Create a Table from scratch, or import a. Great documents often feature important information, so we built Tables a great way to manage spreadsheets in LayOut. Psst… find square or Golden Section proportions hold shift to lock that in too! Our Rectangle tools now utilize the arrow-key axis-locking (just like Circle and Polygon tools). Hover a face SketchUp will helpfully snap to its perpendicular. Have you mastered parallel inferencing? We’ve added a ‘Perpendicular to Face’ inference. Clean offsets, every time you hit ‘F’ (even in LayOut!) Our new Offset tool avoids overlapping and self-intersecting geometry. Edge weights have also been smart-scaled. We’ve tuned snapping and inferencing for high definition monitors (like Apple’s Retina Display). We’re always sharpening our ‘heuristics’, the ins and outs that make SketchUp quick and precise.
