This works with both the Rotate tool and Move tool. When you grab a point in an object and start to move it, your object will automatically go transparent as soon as something in your model interferes with the object you are moving. If you'd rather grab the midpoint, center or centroid of the object, press the down arrow to cycle through the available grip points. Selected groups and components now display grips on the bounding box corners, allowing for quick and accurate placement. Grab that sofa and put it in the corner! Just try it out, we need not explain more. Grips on bounding boxes and automatic transparency We recommend using this (and our friendly eyeball icon) to toggle between the major chunks of your model.Īnother bonus: Groups and components that are hidden by tag (formerly known as layers) now show up in the outliner. You can do your main model organization straight within Outliner. In an effort to increase model performance, you no longer have to create Layers upon Layers. This leads us to our BIG model organization change. We want to make sure we continue to be the more intuitive, easier to use software that boosts your ability to crank out those stunning design projects. This year, we focused on data structures and modeling behaviors. SketchUp Desktop 2020: your creative space So, thanks for speaking up! You helped us discover how you're using SketchUp and how we can improve your design process, resulting in workflow improvements galore! They're so good you'd think we'd been sneaking into design firms or something :).

We've been eyeing your comments on the forum and discussing ideas during our training events to see what trips up your workflow.

We've spent a lot of time in 2019 learning more about what you, the user, wish SketchUp did better.
