Upgrade your old version of SketchUp Pro to version 8 with this electronic download upgrade. SketchUp is a simple and powerful tool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly & easily. SketchUp has been developed to combine the elegance and spontaneity of pencil sketching with the speed and flexibility of today's digital media.
New features of significance include geo-location modeling capabilities that utilise Google's collection of geo-spatial data or Google Maps) to make it quicker, easier and more fun than ever to build models of the world around us.
Greater accuracy can be found in terrain and color aerial imagery, improved photo matching for model building, and integration with Google Building Maker, a 3D modeling tool for adding buildings to Google Earth.
New features in the Pro version include added functionality with solid addition and subtraction tools, a tool for creating angular dimensions in the companion application LayOut 3. Precise movement of elements is also handled more smoothly with dual duty of the centre grip to provide rotation and a 'snap point'.
Revise your model in SketchUp Pro and the changes are updated automatically in LayOut; you can even configure dashed lines and adjust to make your own styles. Increased compatibility with export and import of DWG/DXF of drawings is also useful for use with other CAD and 3D modeller software.
Looking for something a bit different? Style Builder is a tool that creates sketchy-edged styles on your models, adding personality to hard-lined drawings. These can be applied to any strokes you want and can help accentuate key areas and set the tone of an idea for a unique branding.
