Connect with SketchUp 2016
With the latest release of SketchUp 2016 we’re
integrating Trimble Connect directly into SketchUp.
As a refresher, Connect is Trimble’s platform
for storing, syncing, referencing, sharing, and
collaborating on design/build projects. Sign up for
a free account, then start uploading .skp, .pdf, .dxf,
.ifc. files. With this integration, we’re packaging the
current Trimble Connect Extension into the installer.
The TC integration is accessible from the File
menu, and will allow users to upload, pull down,
and update SKP’s from Trimble Connect project
folders. As you’re modelling you can even pull in
and update reference SketchUp models as if they
were locally hosted components. Learn more about

was downloaded from 3D Warehouse, you can also
use the context-click to quickly access its 3DWH
details page.
In SketchUp 2016, a context click on a component
gives you the opportunity to reload (or swap out) a
new component directly from 3D Warehouse. This
action will reload every instance of that component
in your model (similar to the same action in the
Components Browser), so it’s a helpful method for
working with proxy models. And if your component
We’re proud to announce our first step towards an
extension ecosystem for LayOut. Using this
new API, developers can now
create and customize
.layout files from
SketchUp models.
Practically, this
With this release, LayOut’s reference objects are
now web friendly. That means your LayOut projects
can reference and update files that are stored and
synced with services like Dropbox, Google Drive,
and Trimble Connect Sync. When you reference a
file from any of these services (.skp or otherwise),
LayOut will notify you when an update is available
for your ‘web reference.’ Say goodbye to missing
references when different people are working on
the same .layout document within a cloud sync
folder that also contains the referenced files.

means that other applications can import or
export the *.layout file format using the C API. (This
includes creating a .layout file from SketchUp.). We
have several sample scripts for developers to try
out at release, along with a blog post where they
can learn more.
Learning and utilising SketchUp’s inference
engine makes for fast and precise modelling. In
this release, we’ve oiled that engine to provide
slicker inferencing and locking across the board.
This improvement is actually an entire set of smart
tweaks we’ve made to inferencing and locking.
You can download SketchUp Pro 2016 for free on a
30 day trial. After this time, the software will revert
to SketchUp Make.
