SketchUp Studio-ს გამოწერის ძირითადი უპირატესობები
Revit Importer
This year, updates to SketchUp 2023 will enrich your workflow and speed up your work process. Trimble has combined two of the most used software tools in the architecture market – SketchUp and Revit! The new Revit Importer tool adds even more value to the SketchUp Studio suite, while new enhancements to SketchUp Pro (the regular desktop version) help increase workflow efficiency and save time spent modeling
The new Importer tool, built into the SketchUp Studio suite, allows you to convert a Revit model into SketchUp model geometry for seamless collaboration at different stages of a project, between different teams.
There are several different ways to import a Revit 3D model into the SketchUp environment, but only the Revit Importer tool allows you to convert models by transferring exact geometry. Using the Importer functionality, the information structure of the model is preserved when moving the model: Revit model families are converted into SketchUp groups, components and tags. This helps to save hours or even days of work time, as there is no need to do some model cleanup or check the accuracy of the loaded model after the migration. A smooth process of moving the model helps to focus on the most important component of the project – the fulfillment of the project vision.
V-Ray
V-Ray for SketchUp is a visualization plugin built directly into SketchUp Pro. This tool is popular among users of Trimble SketchUp and other 3D modeling software. In order to simplify the V-Ray product line and offer customers more value and flexibility, the manufacturer combined the product name into one. Regardless of which software the plug-in is purchased for, all you need to do is purchase a V-Ray subscription valid for all products.
Features of V-Ray 6 for SketchUp
• “V-Ray” – an engine based on which real-time visualizations are produced (real-time viewer);
• Functionally improved “Frame Buffer”;
• Light control by rendering “Light-Mix”;
• New material layers: fur and shine;
• Improved random selection of materials based on their location and color;
• More convenient management of contour lines of objects;
• Lighting scenario analysis capabilities using the “Light Gen” tool;
• Improved Dirt map texture;
• More physically accurate sunlight and atmosphere;
• SketchUp 2021-2023 is supported.
Scan Essentials point cloud arrays
Using 3D scanning devices (see “3D scanners”), an exact copy of 3D objects is obtained – an array of points. It is a collection of points where each point has 3D coordinates (X,Y,Z). Dots form planes depending on the chosen density of dots. Since the goal of users is to analyze the scanned environment, the manufacturer offers Trimble RealWorks, software for managing, processing and analyzing both small and huge data sets: interior objects, architectural elements, architectural complexes, cities, engineering networks. Using Trimble RealWorks, it is possible to perform measurements, make necessary projections, in combination with adjacent software – prepare an exact copy of the object, a 3D model.
The Trimble Scan Essentials add-on allows you to systematically transfer point array information into a 3D modeling environment. In the SketchUp Pro environment, you can immediately perform modeling work and prepare final drawings or 3D models. The functionality of comparing the model and the 3D array of points will allow you to evaluate the accuracy of the modeling or compare how the situation has changed after repeated scanning of the object.

F.A.Q
Can I try a SketchUp subscription before I buy it?
Yes indeed – download the latest version HERE and log in with your Trimble ID (TID) account to start your 7-day trial period. Remember, each person can only create one Trimble account.
Can I use the program on multiple computers at the same time after purchasing a SketchUp subscription?
A SketchUp subscription is tied to a specific user’s Trimble ID account, which allows you to activate the subscription on two computers at the same time. V-ray rendering would only work on one computer at a time.
Is it possible to upgrade my SketchUp Pro subscription to Studio?
An active SketchUp Pro subscription can be upgraded to Studio by paying the difference in price. You would have to pay extra only for the remaining days of the subscription, proportionally.
Can I have multiple Trimble accounts active on one computer?
Only one Trimble account can be active per computer. Changing computer users will require changing Trimble accounts. Individual profiles can be created in the 3D Warehouse environment independently of Trimble.
Do I need an internet connection to use my SketchUp subscription?
When you first activate your SketchUp subscription, you must have an Internet connection. Further, in order not to deactivate the account on a specific device, it is necessary to connect to the Internet once a month.
Will I still be able to access my SketcUp models after my subscription ends?
After the subscription ends, the editing features and services associated with it will no longer be available, but the models will be available with the free version of SketchUp Free.
What happens to all SketchUp plugins when my subscription ends?
As plugins are not available in the Free version of SketchUp, you will only be able to continue using them after you renew your subscription. Add-ons will remain in your paid subscription.
What happens to LayOut documents after the subscription expires?
LayOut will not work without an active subscription and the user will not be able to open or edit their LayOut documents. The user should remember to save them in time in older versions or in PDF format.
After my subscription ends, will I still be able to access my data from Trimble Connect?
At the end of the subscription, the Trimble Connect account will return to free mode, allowing the user to continue to use the 10 GB of allocated cloud space. Any data above the 10GB limit will be available in read-only format.
Can I transfer my SketchUp subscription to another Trimble user account?
Only in cases where the employee terminates the employment relationship, the account associated with him can be transferred to another account. To do this, please contact us.
