Autoshape is a new machine-learning feature that can transforms doodles into 3D shapes and configurable components. There are also some shortcuts that allow architects and designers to spend less time performing repetitive modeling tasks. SketchUp models that are stored in Trimble Connect automatically sync across devices so project stakeholders can move seamlessly between SketchUp for iPad, SketchUp for Web and SketchUp Desktop applications. Files updated or created on the IPad app can be updated in real-time, allowing for multiple users to stay on the same page, as well as move between the various versions of SketchUp away from the iPad. The app uses 5G connectivity and native integration with Trimble Connect, Trimble’s cloud-based collaboration platform. The Apple Pencil support, in particular, enables a more “intuitive” sketching process. SketchUp for iPad, launched this week by Trimble, is a version of the popular modeling program SketchUp, which acts as a “bridge” for designers and architects looking to move from paper and pencil sketching to creating 3D models.Ĭompatible across the iPad models (iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPad Pro, etc.), the app can be used with multitouch gestures, or with input devices of keyboards, mice, and the Apple Pencil.
