The Next Version of SketchUp redefines how teams collaborate in 3D. With in-app commenting, real-time model viewing, smarter 2D documentation tools, and enhanced visual controls, SketchUp helps you turn feedback into finished designs faster than ever.
Great design is a conversation — and now, that conversation lives inside SketchUp.
Say goodbye to scattered notes and disconnected feedback. The new collaboration features keep every comment, markup, and idea tied directly to your model.
Highlights:
In-App Commenting: Add notes, tag teammates, upload reference images, and react with emojis — all within SketchUp for Desktop or Web Viewer. Comments stay linked to specific geometry, so context is never lost.
Real-Time Viewing: Watch edits unfold live, follow a teammate’s view, and experience truly interactive design reviews.
You’re always in control with new viewing and commenting permissions, ensuring your team — and only your team — sees what you want them to.
Use View Scenes to create guided tours through your model. Present just the areas you want clients to review while keeping works-in-progress private.
Pro Tip: Try View Scenes during your next design review to streamline feedback and keep everyone focused.
SketchUp and LayOut bring new precision and speed to architectural documentation.
Four new 2D drafting tools streamline drawing and editing.
Updated scrapbooks give instant access to architectural symbols and annotations.
Smarter DWG export ensures SketchUp tags map directly to DWG layers for seamless CAD interoperability.
Whether you begin in 2D or work fully in 3D, these improvements make it easier to produce clean, professional drawing sets ready for presentation or construction.
Your designs deserve realistic context — and now, SketchUp makes that easier than ever.
