SketchUp Pro V8 - What's New
Because almost everything is somewhere
Whether you’re designing in context, creating a shadow study or photo-modeling existing structures,
SketchUp 8 provides easy access to Google’s huge collection of geographic resources.
Model geo-location with Google Maps.
Google have built Maps right into SketchUp.
Adding a geo-location to models is now an elegant, one-app process.
Colour imagery and more accurate terrain.
The snapshot you get when you add a geo-location to your model now
includes 3D terrain data that’s more accurate, and -- for the first time
aerial imagery in colour.
Match Photo improvements.
The Match Photo feature lets you trace one or more photographs to build
a model; it’s an incredibly powerful tool. For SketchUp 8, Google have
tweaked some things to make using Match Photo easier than ever.
SketchUp, meet Building Maker.
When it comes to modeling existing buildings, it’s hard to beat Building
Maker for speed and efficiency.Google have made it simpler to open and
and refine Building Maker models in SketchUp.
More great things about SketchUp 8
We’ve spent months building powerful new tools, fine-tuning functionality and making sure SketchUp 8 continues to be the most intuitive 3D modeler on the planet.
Meet the Solid Tools (PRO).
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.
