SKETCHUP MAKE 2016 REVIEW PRO
SketchUp Pro is still the most popular version of the software used in AEC workflows, while SketchUp Free and SketchUp Shop are versions for personal use. These tools are now included in what is known as SketchUp Studio, Trimble’s flagship version of the software. (We’ll mention more notes on BIM and SketchUp toward the ends of the review).Īlso new since our last review six years ago, Trimble acquired Sefaira, the popular energy analysis software that works with BIM tools and SketchUp models.
For starters, while IFC export was new in SketchUp 2014 when we reviewed it that year, somewhere along the way IFC import was also supported. Since that time a lot has taken place in the world of SketchUp. It has been since August of 2014 that we last published a review of SketchUp and in that version (SketchUp 2014) the big news was the support of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) file format in the world’s most popular 3D modeler.
