This is what it looks like:Īlong with the new style are new settings in the Preferences window. In the Styles window is a new style named “Color Blind Style”. This doesn’t affect everyone, but for those with difficulty detecting the difference between red and green it is a major improvement. I find modeling in SketchUp 2017 to be easier on the eyes, with less strain and fatigue than with the older version.Īnother change is the ability to edit the axis colors. Graphics output is also improved when you export an image or print from SketchUp. This screen shot is of the same model in SketchUp 2017. These next two screen shots of a model from my book “SketchUp For Kitchen Design” show the difference between SketchUp 2016 graphics and SketchUp 2017. Lines can be pixelated and details can get fuzzy. One apology I’ve had to make about SketchUp is that the screen display is a bit “cartoony”. The origin of a component now has a snap point and inference even if the origin is not on the component geometry. The inference icons have been updated and now are much more obvious onscreen.
#Sketchup 2017 release software#
One of the challenges in learning SketchUp is adapting your hand/eye coordination to recognize what the software is telling you. As a teacher of SketchUp, I believe that the new version will be easier for new users to understand.
This may not sound exciting but as someone who spends a lot of time modeling it is huge. The result is better resolution, and inferences that are much easier to see.
Much like rebuilding the engine of a car, SketchUp has reworked their “graphics pipeline”. Almost all of the changes are “under the hood”. SketchUp 2017 has just been released and the new version is definitely a change for the better.
