FREE TEXTURES AND 3D MODELS AVAILABLE includes some useful textures in different materials, like wood and bricks. Simply apply a texture on a surface by dragging and dropping it. And although it is very simple, there is no need to design everything from scratch – SketchUp Pro’s 3D Warehouse provides many free models that you can use in your projects. In fact, it is the world’s biggest repository of free 3D models. PREVIEW YOUR MODEL IN GOOGLE EARTH With just one click you can send your 3D model from S to Google Earth, letting you preview your model in the context of everything else in the world. If you specify where on earth your model should be located, can even figure out how the light will fall on various times of the day and show shadows directly in the 3D viewport. • Advanced Attributes: SketchUp now features Advanced Attribute fields for a component’s Price, Size, URL, Type, Status, and Owner.
So now it’s even easier to embed projects with useful information. • Aggregated Reports: Generate Report now aggregates component data so you can do things like configure reports to sum parts and quantities for schedules and cutlists, or create detailed estimates by adding up prices by layer. • IFC Import/Export: BIM (Building Information Model) works best when information moves freely between applications. You can rely on IFC in SketchUp to transfer the attributes you assign and manipulate in projects. FUNCTION • SketchUp is for everybody.
