Google SketchUp Pro 8

Google SketchUp Pro is a simple but powerful tool for exploring and presenting your ideas in 3D. SketchUp Pro is everything traditional CAD software isn't -- quick to learn and intuitive to use.

SketchUp Pro 8 Features

3D modelling for everyone
Create 3D Models
  • Using SketchUp Pro, you can create 3D models, either by starting from scratch or by using existing data. Import drawings, CAD plans, photos, aerial imagery and other information, then use the modeling tools in SketchUp Pro to develop your ideas into 3D.
   Add data to your model
  • Within SketchUp Pro, you have the ability to add attributes to your model with Dynamic Components. At any point, create a report summarizing the attribute≠ data in your model. Use these reports to extract quantities and take-offs throughout the evolution of your model.
Export and Share
  • Some projects require the use of traditional CAD applications or renderering applications to develop construction drawings, photo-realistic images or to share information. SketchUp Pro can export your 3D model in a number of 2D and 3D formats for use with other applications.
   Present and Document
  • For many of your projects, SketchUp Pro, which includes LayOut, is all you will need. LayOut is the 2D companion to SketchUp Pro for creating deliverables like permit and construction drawings, presentation documents and full-screen digital presentations.

Angular Dimensions in Layout
  • You can use SketchUp's Paint Bucket tool to paint your model with materials like colors and textures.
   DWG/DXF 2010
  • SketchUp Pro 8 supports the DWG/DXF 2010 format for importing and exporting vector data for your models.
Dashed lines are configurable in LayOut
  • Not finding what you need in LayOut's library of dashed line styles? Now you can adjust things to make your own.
   DWG/DXF export in LayOut
  • Like to draft in LayOut? With this version, you can share your LayOut 3 drawings as files that any CAD system or 3D modeler (including SketchUp Pro) can open.
Precise Move in LayOut
  • We've arranged for the center grip on every element to do double duty: In addition to rotation, you can place it wherever you like to establish a custom "snap point" for putting things exactly where you want them.
   SketchUp Pro 8 includes a powerful new set of tools for additive and subtractive modeling:
  • Union adds together two or more shapes.
  • Intersect makes a new shape out of the bits that overlap [parts that are common] – while deleting everything else.
  • Subtract turns a shape into a 3D cookie cutter. Use it to slice and dice any other solid.
  • Trim tells one shape to take a bite out of the other – without deleting the first shape.
  • Split makes a new shape out of the bits that overlap – while keeping everything else.
