SketchUp 2021 Update - What’s New?
The SketchUp 2021 update is all about building a strong foundation especially keeping in mind complicated projects. SketchUp not only made changes on the axis with update but as also designed a new logo for the new version of SketchUp. The new logo is made using the SketchUp program.
With the new update SketchUp intends to deliver high-quality, robust, yet affordable 3D tools needed to innovate. It mentions that the 2021 update comes with better model organization, smart and configurable objects for agile modeling.
INTRODUCING PreDESIGN: A NEW ADDITION
The PreDesign feature of SketchUp is a new addition. The idea behind it is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the site’s context before even the plans are drawn. This new climate research tool helps in understanding the surrounding environment where the project might take place.
PreDesign helps in connecting the climate and building type. It even suggests appropriate architectural responses. This tool will also help you to understand and provide shielding to portions of the structure might receive excessive sunlight resulting in overheating. This tool therefore will help you to start planning your project better by helping you design according to the climate.
Therefore, the idea of providing better foundation by SketchUp is uplifted by this tool. After designing an accurate architectural model, the next step would be to add real-world data into the model with Add location.
