    Key features

    Autoshape

    These allow you to instantly convert doodles into 3D shapes. You can also use Live Components: parametrically configurable objects that redraw themselves in real time.

    Markup mode

    Are you someone who likes to edit designs with a red pen? Then we have the solution for you. With Apple Pencil, you can trace and sketch 3D models in different styles, colors and lines. When you're ready to turn those red lines into reality, you can quickly turn it into 3D with the Apple Pencil.

    AR

    Experience your projects in the context of the real world with iPad's powerful augmented reality capabilities. In AR, you can walk through any pre-stored scenes and explore your model at a 1:1 scale in reality....

    Link sharing

    Do away with the endless stream of screenshots and PNGs! Easily share models by generating a link and let colleagues and clients view the models (read-only) without a login or download.

  • Flip tool

    With the brand new “Flip tool” you visualize with ease! Mirror the design and use the red, green or blue areas to flip and confirm the correct orientation.

    Hover

    With SketchUp's new inference capabilities, M2 iPad Pro users can work faster and more accurately with the Apple Pencil by holding it just above the tablet. Hover over the tablet to find e.g. end or midpoints and draw accurately immediately without using additional guides.

    Custom Toolbars

    Create your own toolbars and add your favorite tools and settings to them.

    Dark Mode

    Switch to “Dark Mode,” work comfortably in the evening and at night and avoid eyestrain. It can also be a pleasant choice for daytime work and relieve your eyes from heavy use of your tablet.

     ...and more:

    Tag Folder

    Users can now create and manage “Tag folders” in SketchUp for iPad. Tag folders now remain intact even if you work differently in the SketchUp Web App, SketchUp Pro or Studio Desktop or in SketchUp for iPad. This way you maintain organization in your model.

    Solid Tools

    Solid tools allow you to create complex geometry. For example, you can edit Solid Groups/Components with the following functions: Trim, Intersect, Split, Substract, Union and Outer Shell.

    DWG Import/Export

    SketchUp for iPad now supports DWG export and import. So it is no longer necessary to switch to the Desktop version to import or export a DWG.

    Save As & Reload

    Work independently with other users on different parts of your model by storing individual components in the shared Trimble Connect folder. Different components of the model can be edited individually and reloaded into the main model using the Component Context menu. Using the “reload” option, these components can be easily exchanged.
