Create “combined files” for different purposes.Every changes in “model files” need to be re-published to Trimble Connect.Then you can use uploaded model files on Trimble Connect for reference, each model can refer to other by “Import Reference as Visual Model” which you can’t edit the reference file.Ex: 1st Floor, 2nd Floor, Stairs, Landscape, Exterior, Interior… Create “model files” just for modeling, you can seperate files as much as you want then publish them to Trimble Connect.I use Trimble Connect for collaboration in large projects exactly as you mentioned.įirst, create a Project Folder on Trimble Connect, then: Then don’t even get me started to what mess it creates on Layout and basically have to redimension everything pretty much every time you re link or update model. It all didn’t work and even “reload” splitting the model into separate component models and reload many times would end up not in the right position. We used the xref extension and even tried paste in place. I have done the separation of models and everything you said and it was a huge mess because it would not only double save the file because both could not be working on it at the same time, but also when you would try to update the main model things would be double, triple, or more times copied in there making it a mess. If it was as simple as you say with Sketchup then everyone would know about this and would be training others, but that hasn’t been the case. People give you their main file and you link it to your model and make sure coordinates are the same just as your explaining and then to upload the changes you would use bim 360, and we were not charged for that ever…to use only as a viewer then naviswork. To get started, you’ll also want to check out some new video tutorials they have up on their Youtube channel.That’s actually not true. You can download the new version of SketchUp here which comes with an 8-day usage trial of the SketchUp Pro features.

For users of both SketchUp Make and SketchUp Pro, you have the additional new feature to export MP4 (H.264), AVI, or WebM of your SketchUp Scene animations. Among the LayOut updates, you have Pattern Fills, Copy Arrays and Curved Leader Lines–small, but important features when you need them. Most of the new features are concentrated into LayOut for SketchUp Pro, the documentation tool that lives outside the SketchUp Pro interface, but provide the ability to dimension and create drawings of your models. “Hobbyists, kids and backyard spaceship builders” is how the SketchUp Make splash page reads with clarification in the license agreement that the free version is “not licensed for commercial work.”īesides the Extension Library and the clearer delineation between the Pro version and the free version of SketchUp Make, there are not a whole lot of new modeling features. With the rename of the free version to SketchUp Make, we have a clearer picture of who the free version is intended for. This is available in both SketchUp Pro and SketchUp Make. Best of all, it’s available from within the SketchUp interface, allowing you seamless search and install of each extensions–Very nice addition indeed. This gives you quick, searchable access to all the plugins available to extend SketchUp capabilities from 3D Printing to Scheduling. Pro Users get some fancy new features for completing the documentation of their models and the free version of SketchUp is now called SketchUp Make.Īt the top of the list in SketchUp 2013 is the new Extension Warehouse. They have a new Extension Warehouse to find developer add-ons much easier. The name changes from version number to year number with SketchUp 8 now relegated to the ‘old’ version. That all changed last week with the launch of SketchUp 2013. Since being acquired from Google by Trimble Navigation last April, the only update has been a stylish new logo. Come hither you geometry shaping device of delight. Low and behold, the newest version of SketchUp has arrived.
