MERGE PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL WORLDS
-Experience your designs in the real world with augmented reality (AR) viewing features.
-Directly import image objects and apply photo textures from your Photos library, iOS Files App, or by taking pictures using your iPad camera.
-Import satellite imagery, 3D terrain, and location information to create accurate shadow studies and design with real-world context.

WORK ON THE GO
-With unlimited cloud storage, you can seamlessly sync files across your devices – and work on them using SketchUp for iPad, SketchUp for Web, and SketchUp Pro desktop apps.

IMPORT/EXPORT
-Import SKP files from the Files app or Trimble Connect
-Export: Images, animations, and 3D Models in STL, OBJ, and USDz format

When using SketchUp on your iPad and iPhone without a paid subscription, you are still able to explore and present your 3D projects for FREE; here’s how:
-Navigate your projects using intuitive multi-touch gestures.
-View your projects from any of the standard views or custom scenes.
-Switch between perspective and orthographic camera views.
-Turn Tags on or off to control the visibility of parts of your model.
-Adjust the look and feel of your model by controlling Edge and Face styles, Shadows, Hidden Geometry, Section Planes, and Section Cuts.
-Take measurements and get information about edge lengths, the area of faces, the volume of solids, and component and group definitions.
-Merge your models with the world around you by viewing them in augmented reality.

REQUIREMENTS
This app requires iOS 15 or higher with a minimum of 1024Mb of RAM (Retina iPads or newer, iPhone 5 or newer). For additional information and instructions, please visit the SketchUp Help Center: https://help.sketchup.com/sketchup-ipad/system-requirements

The AR model viewing feature uses ARKit and is compatible with iPhone 6s and newer, iPad Pro, or any 2017 iPad or newer.

SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS
SketchUp lets you create and edit 3D models on iPad via an in-app subscription of $119 USD per year. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account on confirmation of purchase. Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before your subscription expiration date. Your account will be charged $119 USD for renewal within 24-hours prior to your subscription expiration date.

If you are a SketchUp Free user, please note that you will only be able to access the free viewing features on your iPad or iPhone.

What's new in v6.5 – Generate 3D models of existing spaces and start designing immediately with Scan-to-Design. Create more realistic visuals in-app with Ambient Occlusion. Plus, customize keyboard shortcuts, share links for real-time viewing, and enjoy improvements to Diffusion!

Scan-to-Design – Use LiDAR scanning in SketchUp to quickly generate 3D models of existing spaces, providing an excellent starting point for design and collaboration. Scan-to-Design harnesses technology from Canvas and Apple RoomPlan, offering the following 3D outputs:

• Canvas scan output will generate a textured 3D model in which the ‘room surfaces’ (walls, ceiling, floor) are drawn as planes and/or triangulated meshes that can be easily edited using SketchUp's modeling tools. The rest of the space (furnishings, etc) will be drawn as a textured, triangulated mesh.
• Apple's RoomPlan technology creates a simplified model of the space comprised of orthogonal SketchUp edges and faces, including cut-outs for windows and doors.

Models are intelligently organized, so you can toggle the visibility of different outputs using either the Tags panel or the Outliner.

Customize Scan-to-Design preferences to dial in the best output for your workflow. Access these settings in Preferences > Scan-to-Design.

Requirements: Scan-to-Design requires a LiDAR-enabled iPad and iOS17 or higher.

Omnibar – Search for tools and features using industry-standard terms, and Omnibar will recommend tools in SketchUp that match. Omnibar boosts productivity by letting you set custom keyboard shortcuts for any of SketchUp's tools or commands.

Ambient Occlusion is a beautiful shading effect that adds a sense of depth to your SketchUp models. You’ll find the settings for Ambient Occlusion in the Styles panel under Face settings.

Link Sharing = Live Viewing. Shared links now offer the recipients of those links the ability to join a real-time viewing session and see changes that you're making to the model in real-time. Viewers have the option to navigate the SketchUp model, but when you activate a scene, they'll be pulled back to see the same thing that you're seeing.

Diffusion Improvements
• Maintain Seed: After selecting a Diffusion-generated image, toggling Maintain Seed allows you to iterate on the chosen image instead of creating an entirely new image.
• Negative prompt: Use the Negative Prompt field to specify what you do not want to see in Diffusion-generated images.

Bug Fixes
We fixed a bug that was causing SketchUp's cursor within the modeling viewport to be offset from the location of the pencil, touch, and mouse input.

We're excited to hear what you have to say about these updates! Please visit the SketchUp for iPad user forums to let us know how the above is, or is not, working for you: forums.SketchUp.com/c/SketchUp-for-iPad/
