We’ve preloaded this release with IFC 2x3 classifications (a standard for building information modelers), but you’re free to use any classification system you want. In fact, a quick scan of Extension Warehouse shows that SketchUp users have been modeling, specifying, scheduling, analyzing, and reporting with information for some time now.īuilding on this open and flexible information modeling capability, SketchUp Pro 2014 includes a feature called Classifier that lets you tag objects with standard classifications or types. BIM professionals may use information models for clash detection and quantity takeoffs woodworkers may use them for joinery design and cut lists. And SketchUp’s core tools - groups, components, the Ruby API - have always enabled users to make this association and use the data embedded in models. But what does that mean?Īs we see it, the foundation of information modeling is an association between information of any kind and the graphical geometry in a model. In a world of ever-evolving CAD acronyms, people often ask “ Is SketchUp Pro BIM?”īIM is short for building information modeling, and the fact is, we’ve always considered SketchUp Pro to be a highly capable and inclusive information modeler.

There’s quite a bit more to discover in the new 3D Warehouse - new upload options, increased file size limits, a refreshed UI - you can learn more about it all here. Now, when you need a particular faucet, sliding door, window arrangement, or office chair, 3D Warehouse helps you choose a component that can actually be specified.

So, working with product manufacturers, we’ve started curating the highest quality collections of real world models into their own category: Product Catalogs. While this new Viewer turns any webpage into a 3D stage, we also wanted to point a spotlight on the most useful models in 3D Warehouse. In the meantime, any newly uploaded models published to 3D Warehouse will render after just a few minutes, so you can start orbiting your new models pronto. skp files into a 3D streaming format dialed for SketchUp models.

Want to share your 3D models on the web? The 3D Warehouse embed gadget has you covered.Īs you read this, our 3D Warehouse render robots are churning through tens of thousands of models a day, converting raw. We’re also thrilled that SketchUp users can now share orbitable 3D projects (in full screen, if you like) on their own webpages using the 3D Warehouse embed gadget. We spent a lot of time tuning our WebGL Viewer so that your models operate smoothly and retain their SketchUp feel. Little Cabaña by Spykman Design.īringing a SketchUp viewer to the web is a big deal to us.

Look, ma: I’m orbiting with no client plugin! ( WebGL browser required).
