What’s New
Version 6.5.5
We're thrilled to announce the release of SketchUp for iPad version 6.5.5! This update brings exciting improvements, and essential bug fixes to enhance your modeling experience. Let's explore what's new in this version!
IMPROVEMENTS
Named Section Planes in Outliner
• We’ve brought section plane naming, selection, and editing support to the Outliner! While SketchUp for iPad has supported section planes created on the Desktop for a while, we’re now bringing the ability to see, name, and edit section planes to the Outliner on iPad, helping keep your model organized how you like it.
Graphics Settings Tab
• You can now find graphics settings for the app in the graphics tab. This is where you’ll find settings for SketchUp’s graphics engine and texture handling, making it easier to manage and optimize your visual settings alongside your
BUG FIXES
• We Fixed several bugs with Live Components where users would see endless loading or failure entirely when trying to edit a live component through the entity info panel. SketchUp for iPad’s Live Component connection service has been improved and stabilized to prevent these bugs.
• We fixed an issue where undocking the measurements box would cause any values typed into the input box to be overwritten.
• We resolved an issue that would prevent a user from using the divide (/) and multiply (x) modifiers when copy/moving or copy/rotating an object.
• We fixed a bug where a SketchUp model without a thumbnail preview would be unable to publish to Trimble Connect. The app will now auto-generate a thumbnail if one is missing.
• We fixed a bug where if a user selected multiple tags at once in the Tags panel and then deleted them, the panel would become unresponsive.
We’ve listened to your feedback! We’ve tackled issues to make working with live components smoother and more stable. We hope this helps in your work and lets you unlock the power of configurable components! Additionally, we know how crucial the measurements box is for inputting and editing move, copy, and rotated selections. We’ve worked hard to maintain and improve these workflows based on your input. Thanks for all the great feedback—keep it coming! Share your thoughts with us here: https://forums.sketchup.com/c/SketchUp-for-iPad/
Ratings and Reviews
Can only wish for a better product from SketchUp.
I have been a SketchUp Pro user for many years. I’ve taught myself how to efficiently use the desktop version over the past 15 years. In the recent years with everything going mobile and to tablets, I have considered switching to Shaper3D. My only hang up was having to learn a new process of creating efficient design for my customers. Right when I was ready to switch up and give Shaper3D a year of my time and money. SketchUp announced they where working on an app for the tablet. This kept me in their corner, at least until it was released about 8months later. Each day I would log on to see if it had been released, waiting patiently and eagerly for the familiarity of what I was already using. After the long anticipated wait, it was finally released. I logged in and quickly realized this was a baby version of what I had already become so familiar with. The process has been revamped and only a small percentage of the tool I use on a daily basis where available at my finger tips. I could only image creating a very simple and limited product with this newly released product. Unfortunately, when my SketchUp Subscription expires, I want be renewing it. Instead I will be trying my hand at a program that was designed around mobility and tablet use, or at least feels that way. I hope SketchUp makes this app a front runner in tablet use, at least one day!
It’s not the best
I’ve used SketchUp for years and I find the solutions they came up with for the mobile version are unintuitive in relation to the original computer version.
Separate tools need to be selected for nearly every modification or addition, planes will move unexpectedly while selecting them, it’s not easy to select and delete segments…basically, the feeling is that I have to work extra hard to use this on my convenient tablet.
Maybe I need to integrate a keyboard into the process, but then why wouldn’t I just just the full version? After waiting for a long time for this to arrive…I am now on;y going to use this as a viewer, and will continue to hope for a better alternative or some REALLY intuitive updates to this one. Until then, it’s just not a good companion to the full SketchUp App
Very Imressive
Having SketchUp on an iPad has definitely been an idea in the minds of a lot of SketchUp users for quite some time now. I have struggled with the various ways that people navigate SketchUp, from the trackpad, yuck, to the cintiq pen on Wacom, super clunky and not efficient. Once I heard that SketchUp was released on the iPad I immediately thought what have they done to overcome the clunky way that a pencil is used and finger gestures. To my immediate surprise after diving into SketchUp on the iPad, I found myself feeling like I had rediscovered SketchUp for the first time back in 2001, AMAZING!!! SketchUp on the iPad happens to be a legit additional way to work, offering such power in the most sleek portable device. No more lugging the heavy laptop around to do on-site tasks, smaller meetings, and family show & tells 😁
