Hats off to the entire SketchUp team for ambient occlusion.....it goes where diffusion cannot. And, a big thank you to you, Aaron....for always enlightening us with what's new and much more.
Really?.... Do you still presenting Sketchup as a Layout? Do you know what a render Engine is? 10 years my friend...10 years... Without internet maybe: Lumion d5 TwinMotion Unreal Engine Enscape Blender... Come on. get a better PC.
Disappointed two years in a row. Performance improvements are great, but bug fixes and feature additions are what excites me. I can’t believe I still need to move tool palettes between monitors every time I start. And how frustrating that after all this time I still need to reinstall all my extensions.

There is an interesting tool that I have seen in other software and I wish Sketchup had it, this is the cropping box, which allows you to cut out a 3D piece of the building without having to make 4 or 6 sections with the sketchup tool, which is in high demand for make isometric cuts, I would appreciate if you would take my comment into account
Amazing update. The ability to auto render terrain heights and snap multiple locations together helps me a ton for my project im working on. Ambient occlusion looks great as well.
hello Aaron! many thanx for your tips throughout the years! I would like your opinion about a value for money laptop! is there any machine you strongly recommend? I usually use sketchup with enscape and v-ray for rendering. Thanx again!
The nicest thing so far is simply the program Launching well! Was so clunky would start, crash , restart, crash and after 3 to 5 times would finally stick. The second best thing is not wasting half a day trying to get my 3D Connexion mouse to working again after the upgrade! Just install the latest Mac driver and Wow, everything's working?! No Way, impossible! (I can't imagine how anyone can work without this device) So kudos there!
Lots of cool architectural features. Looks like Sketchup is no longer competing in the maker space since complex milled and printed shapes are still a problem.
I bought the new Sketchup 2024 and it is very good! . BUT! - if someone had any plugins on earlier versions of SU, these plugins will usually no longer work in the new version of SU 2024 and you have to pay (if you have paid plugins) and install them again. The new version of SU 2024 is very sensitive to old plugins and rejects them. you only need to install plugins that are adapted to SU 2024, otherwise they will not work. (there are some plugins that still work with SU 2024, but there are very few of them, such as 1001bit) which is a pity.
Some of the more complex (usually paid) extensions may need to be updated by the developer - which I assume most will. Skatter for example didn't work right away on v2024, then released an update. Check back soon for updates or post a question to our forum for more detailed support. There's no reason to pay more than once for an extension and I have yet to come across any of extension that doens't work in v2024
11:49 finally the biggest update. Yet sketchup has to work with Cityengine more. The exports should be tagged and buildings, trees,windows,doors,etc should be componented separately
Been using Sketchup since 2012, always love it and promote others to use it. AO and speed improvements look great. Teddy, that seems like a poor choice.
Again, another lacklustre update! Adding features/tools natively would be a better update, in my opinion. Also, updateing Layout UI to streamline creating 2d plans/drawings would be better. Don't get me wrong, performance updates are always appreciated, but a change in Layout UI is long overdue.
Hi Aaron, very good tutorial... SketchUp 2004 is amazing, the best, for while at least. Can you make available this file that you used in your video? Please? Thanks a lot.
Hi there sketchup! I recieved de 2024 version fore ipad (pro 2022 M1) And i must say!: The ipad has some serious trouble running this great program right now!... its "lagging" and the lines are not "crisp" anymore. Hope sketchup comes with a fix fore this.. Or, it has somthing too do with the settings i run. Thx you guys!
just for fun downloaded new 2024. after choosing options looks like its not responding and not doing simple tasks. Is 2023 version more better or same ?
The new Share Link feature is so outdated. It should display social media icons to choose from where to share, including email and text message options. Not just copy link.
at least you can use the terrain from sketchup location tag.. then replace the material with a projected google earth image (downloaded at 8K res for the best quality)
1.Can we now import a PDF as vector information (like Autocad?)..... How much time this saves an entire industry is years. 2.Exports to .DWG are always requested but 100K .dwg models are not popular. Does 2024 version get file size of .dwg exports down please?
Indeed it s a great version. But do you know why the problem with trimming objects that changed starting from 2023 version persists? In 2022 version if you want to trim an object with multiple other objects that intersect it, you launch the command, choose the first object and than if you click the others one by one trimming is done . In 2023 and 2024 you have to press trim solids command after every trim. Also in past versions when trimming, if you press escape that means it let you choose the first object (the trimming one) and you don t have to exit the command. In 2024 you have to exit command every time to choose another first trimming object. It is a mess when you have a lot to trim. Can you pass this problem please , maybe a solution could be applied? Thank you
Correct, DWG exports geometry and IFC exports components. If you want to export imagery you will need to use something that includes graphics like an OBJ file
Are you on Mac or PC? On PC, go to Window / Default Tray / Show Tray. There is no Default Tray on Mac. You choose panels to display in the Window dropdown and snap them to each other or the side of the screen.
We use SketchUp for Concept Design why on earth can't we export RVT file from it? importing Revit to SketchUp we is useful but exporting skp to rvt will be way way way usefull.
@@SketchUp Yawn old news. What is needed is SketchUp exporting to Revit as native. Concept Design (skp) and SD stage (Revit) that's is the missing link and the most important part and you guys decided to do the Revit to SketchUp import.
Sorry you are feeling tired... Unfortunately, The creators of Revit do not allow third parties to create RVT files. If you can get them on the phone and talk them into allowing third parties to create their proprietary file format, we might be able to make that happen...
@@SketchUp We found several ways on our own. a work around. not 100% but 98% ok with a dynamo script and a massing technique. damn it. you guys should talk.
I am a skp user, since version 5. To date it saddens me to see that it has fallen into a comfort, a maintenance business model. The real improvements of the program come from others such as VB and its development with 5d, for Bim work in the same direction as Revit. Remaining only a program of first analysis is limiting when the program has all the potential to be much more robust. This policy of ´´maintenance´´ and cosmetic updates discourages wanting to renew, frankly I would like to see a much more substantial skp, much more avant-garde, not just one that enjoys the top without maintenance, nor ambition to surpass itself.

Ambient Occlusion, I have been waiting 10 years for this...
I remember endless discussions and the arguments against it. I'm blown away.
we've had it in 3dsmax for 20 years. Don't overuse it. it makes your renders look fake.
Really?....
Do you still presenting Sketchup as a Layout?
Do you know what a render Engine is?
10 years my friend...10 years...
Without internet maybe:
Lumion
d5
TwinMotion
Unreal Engine
Enscape
Blender...
Come on.
get a better PC.

Got to hand it to them, the Devs nailed it with this one.
Great update guys. Look forward to getting into it.

Thanks for walking us through. I am always frustrated Mac and Microsoft don't have the same display format. I had to find ambient inclusion.
Is ambient occlusion going to make its way to the iPad version and/or the paid web version?
It's already available on iPad. : )
The nicest thing so far is simply the program Launching well! Was so clunky would start, crash , restart, crash and after 3 to 5 times would finally stick.

No Way, impossible! (I can't imagine how anyone can work without this device) So kudos there!
Ambient Occlusion does look sharp!!!!
All these great improvements yet still no Radius /Diameter Dimension tool in Layout 🤷♀
Can we round off edges yet without paying a third party another 100 bucks?
Maybe in 10 years from now?
just purchased the product! excited to work with the software!!!
2024 looks great, however, when will tool bars and extensions transfer between versions?

The add location is going to work how long? Until you again decide to change the user agreement? 1 year? 2 years?
Current+2 older versions...so currently that's v2024, v2023, and v2022

Please improve interval auto save feature. its always so long to wait the autosave if the files/3d getting bigger

The location maps are out of date. If you use Google Earth, they are more current. That is disappointing. Is there a way to get these views updated?
at least you can use the terrain from sketchup location tag..
then replace the material with a projected google earth image (downloaded at 8K res for the best quality)

Maa Shaa Allah Sketchup is best 3D software
Can I use Sketchup 2024 with Mac OS 12.7.4 (Monterey)? I have been told that I might have to switch off the new graphics engine?
Thank you for the great video
I love sketchup 2024 :)
Is the enhanced graphics for Sketchup something which has to be enabled (like in Layout) or is it on by default?
Unlike LayOut, SketchUp's new graphic engine isn't 'experimental', so it's on by default.

How do I get the people you have in that model?
You can find many 2D people on the 3D Warehouse: 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/models?q=2d+people
I'm still using SketchUp Pro 2015 because it isn't subscription.
Goat
2021 here, for the same reason.
2019 here. They took the whole subscription thing too far. . .
still using make 2017 because it does everything I need. Parts store opens with plugin. Would buy 2024 if they cared to sell it.
How many months do we have to wait for the second release of 2024? I don't do first releases.
If I need to export model with realistic map texture to another software what file format is? DWG and IFC are lost the texture of the map.
Correct, DWG exports geometry and IFC exports components. If you want to export imagery you will need to use something that includes graphics like an OBJ file
Excellent review - thank you🙏
Wow! Great Job Dev and Product and SketchUp Team
Great Update Features
just got the pro sub building my dream boathouse with the quest 3 headeset lol this is me now when i dont even know how to use the program

wake me up when they bring back sketchup Make and one time buy pro version
when Sketchup performance work like 3dsmax with many complex surface model.
Toolbar Editor doesn't work in 2024.
Nice
*happy sounds* lol

Hos can i get free plugin??
No plugins here... this is all native in SketchUp for Desktop 2024!
como tradusco al español.
Almost the same.
Cue the complaints ... 😂
