![]() With a SketchUp user community expanding by more 30 million unique activations in the past year, enhancements to SketchUp 2015 have been designed to deepen and enrich the user experience, while keeping it intuitive. The announcement was made at Trimble Dimensions. This release marks Trimble’s second update to the SketchUp software this year and underscores the company’s continued focus on enhancing the platform to make SketchUp faster, more user-friendly and reliable for the thousands of professionals who use it every day. 4, 2014-Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) today released SketchUp 2015, the latest version of the world’s most widely used 3D modeling software for architects, engineers, design and construction professionals, as well as members of the global maker community. ![]() ![]() New Version Enhances Platform, Adding Speed, Collaboration and Interoperability Capabilities for Better 3D Modeling Results are watching, learning, and working hard to progress just as fast.īTW, if you missed my thoughts on SketchUp 2014 and the new world of BIM, read that here before or after digesting the press release below. I hope Graphisoft, Nemetschek, Autodesk, et al. With each new release, I get more optimistic about the health of the AEC software space in general. ![]() The speed of improvements and continued evolution of SketchUp since being acquired by Trimble continue to impress me. Will 2016 see some form of work sharing? If it does, hot damn and holy fuck. So now that SketchUp is in the 64-bit league, and continues to improve it’s IFC capabilities, the big remaining question is internal collaboration. The details remain to be seen, but the fact that it can harness all the RAM on a machine is a clear sign that SketchUp is being ramped up to handle some amazing complexity. It seemed odd that SketchUp still wasn’t. The other major BIM players have been (more or less) 64-bit for sometime. SketchUp maxing out at 4 gigs of RAM due to it’s 32-bit nature was (in my opinion) one of the few remaining examples of it being a second class BIM program. Jared’s Note: 64-bit and improved IFC ( more on both here) are a BIG FUCKING DEAL.
