The new small dimension leaders is a nifty little improvement, and ensures that text will never interfere with arrows or extension lines.In order to help users understand when they are creating or manipulating entities on a shared layer, it will be highlighted red when you are drawing or selecting elements on a shared layer. Shared layers are any layer that you assign to be automatically generated on every page. The ability to differentiate between shared/nonshared layers is very useful.

That means your LayOut projects can reference and update files that are stored and synced with services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Trimble Connect Sync, which makes collaboration far more powerful.
#SKETCHUP MAKE 2014 REVIEW PDF#
For example, the new enhancements have reduced a 40mb PDF, created with Layout 2015, to a 3mb PDF created with 2016 – with no drop in quality! And the difference is mind-blowingly huge. The new PDF export has been optimized, and we can now all breathe a collective sigh of relief! Finally, you will be able to produce smaller PDF exports that still have a very high output resolution.Now when you copy and paste something, it will maintain all of the layers from the original copy.
The new Layer improvements are by far our favourite improvement in the 2016 release!.If you want a comprehensive report completed in seconds, we suggest using the PlusSpec Take-off tool. However, you may get some use from it. We have just finished testing it with PlusSpec and have found that when creating a moderately detailed model, there is an extensive delay. Personally, we find this tool a bit ‘meh’. SketchUp 2016 now allows you to Generate Reports, either from the entire model, or from a selected Component.SketchUp 2016 will now recognize intersection points with hidden section planes, with the ability to snap to elements of a SketchUp model in LayOut also.The parallel and perpendicular inference display has been improved, which is particularly useful for extending edges on off axis planes.Check out the latest grass texture, it looks pretty good. The Textures have been revisited, and now offer a bigger and better list of textures and categories.Say goodbye to centrepoint location struggle-ville! Just ensure that you inference an edge prior to searching for the centrepoint. The ability to now easily inference circle and arc centrepoint’s is going to drastically reduce the amount of swearing in the office.This allows users to fully customize their workflow, by now being able to organize and group all of the various utility dialog’s, so that they either stand alone, or stack inside customizable and collapsible trays. However, once you have played with it enough, you will probably find the added flexibility to your liking. The new Customizable Utility Trays on Window machines is an addition that may take some getting used to.Although this will not affect most users in the slightest, the team at PlusSpec are looking forward to now being able to create high resolution icons for the PlusSpec tools. All icons have now been rendered from vector graphics, meaning that they will look better, size better, and read better on High DPI screens. We dig the new and improved higher resolution Icons.This will save novice users a lot of frustration, and provide a faster workflow for experienced users. The improvements to the Move, Protractor, Offset and Rotate tools are minor, but they have improved their overall user-friendliness. We particularly like the improved rotate tool, which has been combined within the move tool, so that you can now more easily locate and pick an axis.Let’s take a look at some of the best new features from the Release Notes… It means that there is plenty to get excited about! SketchUp 2016 is here, but ‘What does it all mean, Basil?’
