Live Components can be found in 3D Warehouse and are now available for you to download and configure right in SketchUp with SketchUp’s latest version. In SketchUp 2021, SketchUp is introducing parametric objects that do just this they’re called Live Components. Introducing Live Components in SketchUp 2021ĭo you dream of building models that are robust and flexible enough to react to design changes? We do! There’s no doubt that a successful model is one that can easily accommodate iterations and allow for rapid change. This brings us to our next exciting announcement for SketchUp’s 2021 updates. Ultimately, we want to ensure that your workflow is operating at peak performance with the utmost control and agility. And if your tags are organized with a naming convention, you can quickly filter on your prefixes to select similar tags and organize them in a folder. Filtering tags is finally possible in SketchUp! You can now quickly zero in on a specific tag. You can also control the visibility of all tags in a folder at once to turn on and off large chunks of your model. Whether you use tags to set up models for design scenarios, documentation, reporting, or visualization, we think you’ll find it a lot easier to locate and work with tags when you start grouping them in folders.

That’s why we’re helping you stay organized with Tag Folders in SketchUp Pro and LayOut. We know managing long lists of tags and scenes can be overwhelming-particularly with complex models. The forecast is sunny with PreDesign, see for yourself. By getting things right at the start, you’ll avoid wasting your precious design time and resources and avoid costly rework. PreDesign is here to enhance your design narrative with meaningful climate observations while alleviating some of the heavy-lifting from your workflow. “Its compelling visual outputs and intelligent talking points also help us clearly communicate the value of our proposals to clients.“
“PreDesign provides useful information that we need to position our projects for better design outcomes from the very start,” said Adam Osterhoff, principal architect at Heartwood Studio. Talk about getting things right from the start.
And it doesn’t just flag the issues PreDesign suggests effective glazing, shading, and top-lighting strategies for each face of your building. Intuitive sun path diagrams show you the areas of your site that need to be shielded from overheating sun. Pulling site-specific weather data, PreDesign suggesting appropriate architectural responses for your project. “With PreDesign, we’re providing designers with the insights they need to take a truly holistic approach to create suitable design strategies and communicating value to their clients.” “Although SketchUp is a fantastic way to develop ideas in 3D, we are continuously exploring new capabilities and see tremendous value in making it easy for our users to include design research in their pre-design workflows,” said Andrew Corney, PE, M.CIBSE, M.ASHRAE, Product Director at Trimble. This brand new climate research tool helps you to understand the local environment surrounding your project before you start modeling in 3D.
This synergy requires a comprehensive understanding of a site’s context before plans are drawn.
As AEC professionals we strive for a reality where every addition to the built environment works in harmony with the natural surroundings.
