With mobility more important than ever, due in part to the global pandemic, Trimble’s timing with SketchUp for iPad is spot on. We see this trend moving forward for other CAD and 3D apps as well as user-interface techniques continue to advance for the multitouch gesture and Apple Pencil input, it is more than possible to model on a touch-based device, there are actually benefits in some cases depending on the tool and situation.

Other software companies, but most notably Budapest-based Shapr3D-a company we highlighted in our fourth annual INSIDER Reports issue-have clearly demonstrated the potential of robust 3D modeling on a tablet device using input tools such as Apple Pencil or an attached keyboard. Those who are selected to participate will be notified via email and provided with detailed instructions on how to access the SketchUp for iPad beta.Īrchitosh was an early invite to SketchUp for iPad and we are enthusiastic about this development from Trimble. These features leverage the unique capabilities of iPad devices and their supported accessories.Įarly access to SketchUp for iPad is open to a limited number of users and granted on a first-come, first-serve basis. SketchUp for iPad introduces some unique features such as Autoshape, Markup Mode, and AR model viewing. We’re excited to deliver a solution that fits how SketchUp users want to work today and into the future.” Unique Features “The ability to create new designs and conceptual ideas whenever inspiration strikes and review and update SketchUp models on the go, whether on the job site, in a coffee shop, or while meeting with clients, is something our professional users are requesting.
“With the features, we’ve developed specifically for Apple Pencil, we’re able to digitally emulate the paper and pencil sketching paradigm and provide a unique and compelling 3D modeling experience on iPad devices,” said Christopher Cronin, vice president, and general manager at Trimble SketchUp. This would enable users also to move freely from SketchUp for iPad, Web, and the desktop. The app leverages 5G technology on devices to communicate with Trimble Connect™-a widely used collaboration platform or CDE (common data environment)-that would enable pros in the field to communicate with peers at the office or remote work at home in real-time. The new software allows users to create, edit and collaborate on 3D models from the iPad lineup.
