Thanks for all your efforts Mike and taking the time to pass on your great insight. It's very much appreciated by those of us who've stuck with SU through the years waiting for Trimble to get their act together, and which they finally now appear to be doing, to some degree at least. Keep it rolling good sir.
This scaling the pdf part...You are using the tape measure tool to scale? How does that work?
Im telling you Mike, more long form how-to's from you is a great thing. It's power user knowledge for architecture.
Wha!!! Double click scale and I can enter an exact dim?!? Finally found someone too explain this to me.!
Me thinks back to sketchup 8 and there has been nothing but tiny incremenal changes which amount to pretty much nothing. Trimble have been dilly dallying for over a decade. To do anythng usefull or complex you need to mess around with plugins and the usefull ones are mostly $$.
now we would absolutely need a dark interface, like in AutoCAD, Revit or Draftsight
Now that Sketchup has this built in you don't need to pay for this anymore right?
Where is the condoc 2 scrapbook? I can't seem to find it in my file.
Thank you Very Much..
Thank you for another great video !!! Can I integrate Condoc into Medeek models built before Condoc was installed ...if so what would Condoc do with all the tags that were used in the original model...would they automatically migrate into the condoc system ?
They should add simple reflection option to sketchup , new interface for plugins so you can "dock" extension window to Tray. I agree 2024 is small step to make sketchup better compared to years 2017-2023
So, what was the purpose of this change? What is the context of the UX change from Sketchup's point of view? Do you know? How many different scrapbook items have you had to update to accommodate this?
100% agree
Mkay. I'll upgrade, fredo even got lord of the tool bars working with the new API so I don't really have a reason not to anymore. I've really liked playing with that ambient occlusion style, so I'm excited to put it on my designs
Dragging you... screaming and kicking onto this new version! Give it a shot...
Mike, your videos are always a great learning experience.
Thank you sir! Glad to know they help...
@@BrightmanDesigns I've been using this method to trace and draft in Layout and it's amazing how I quickly adapted to this method and skill level improves very quickly, love it. I've been using Condoc 2D & Condoc Annotations Scrapbooks and just like ConDoc they are a game changer. I just upgraded to SU2024 and when I stretch out the Tool Tray in LO to enlarge the ConDoc Scrapbooks they don't resize. I've been searching for a solution in forums and on RUclips with out success. There must be a process I've missed in loading up LO2024 Scrapbooks or a hidden magic button somewhere. Any thoughts or can you point me in the right direction. Thanks, and I'm loving this workflow.
@@memclughlin72 Glad to hear this technique is working for you... I using it right now on a new renovation that just hit my desk. When you stretch the tray, are you also stretching the scrapbook inspector down to make it bigger vertically? Everything appears to be working as expected on my end... Let me know if that solves it!
@@BrightmanDesigns Michael, always appreciate your response. Out & Down works like a charm, thanks. Sooo simple no wonder I couldn't find it lol. I have two proposals out for renovations/expansion Looking forward to one or both of them landing to use this workflow and ConDoc these have improved my product and workflow/delivery.
While multiple tags to a single entity is a huge step in the right direction, it is just a scratch on the surface of project visibility. The concept of "Visibility by Criteria" is the real deal. Visibility based on entities properties (i.e. Dimension, weight, thermal mass, carbon footprint, material, speciality, etc) is the way to go. BlenderBIM is working on this. Anyway... Nice to see people thinking out of the box.
Hi MB, Agreed, so annoying sifting through all those layers (ok tags..grrr!!) it's well overdue as other programmes I use, such as DataCAD & Form.Z & I guess others as well, have this visual mouse pointer "on/off" function as part of the core programme. Well done in filling in the much needed shortfalls again with SU. 👍
Mr. CAD! Thanks for the kind words. These tools really made a huge impact on my day to day. Not a novel idea, but a much needed addition to the SketchUp tool kit!
It realy took me 2 days to upgrade from 2023 to 2024 and set everything up, bugs with almost all the plugins i use but the developers were very responsive and now looks that everything is ok, very happy with the upgrade it is a big change in speed and AO is great also, i guess with the new engine that was normal to be a transition
This release is far from perfect. Major bugs!
Not seeing that... are you on a mac?
@BrightmanDesigns no. PC. Color by material does not work.
Very good update indeed , for future versions would be nice to see sectioncut´s width by Layer and/or Material, we would get rid of "stacking layers" in LayOut
Maybe someday... I'm not that bothered by the viewport stacking since ConDoc automates all that... But I hear ya! Thanks for watching!
AO rocks!
Agreed! dials up all my drawings...
Thanks for the review Mike!!!
You know it! Thanks for watching...
You can always count on Brightman's Design to take care of everything when it comes to these matters. Very practical, all about consistency and smooth workflow, no BS. If I were to describe your approach with a quote, it would be 'Keep it simple, stupid'.
Thanks for the kind words! My process is often to make things as absolutely complicated as possible then dial it back to what is actually teachable. Luckily I have excellent help with the programming and an awesome upgrade like SketchUp 2024 makes us all look good. Thank you!
I just upgraded to SketchUp 2024, but I find the Ambient Occlusion setting is greyed out. Could this be because my Mac doesn't support the new graphics engine setting?
Weird!? Make sure you check the "Ambient Occlusion" box on so you can adjust the sliders?
Love Love Love your tag system! How are you coming along on providing this for millwork/cabinet production?
Brightman NOT being negative? That has to mean that Sketchup actually got something right this time. Was waiting for this one Mike! Glad to see you are excited. I might even upgrade early this time.
Have I lost my edge!? Softened up!? Naaaaaah... Just being honest! I really dig this release. Let's hope this is the start of a new trend...
@@BrightmanDesigns I love new Trends!!!
Not sure about this update. Performance updates sure good changes but ambient occlusion is not a big deal. Also sketchup needs more updates about ui changes about plugins which is a mess at the moment. Updates like stackable icons etc...
Thank you again for a professional objective review!
Thanks for the kind words! I try... I really try... and appreciate you noticing!
One thing i would like to point out about, when i upgraded from SU2021 to SU2023, is the plugins related to going absolutely fullscreen stopped working due to the total change of file structure of SU23, disabling the plugin devs to not be able to give total fullscreen function. If that is the same case with SU24, i hope trimble gives that function inbuilt so as to allow to take screenshots of SU works without and icon clutter.....I hope u can pass this message to the SU Dev team....its a feature dearly missed nowadays.
Performance improvements is huge (30 milion polygons model works without any problems) and ambience occlusion looks great. I just wanna see dark UI in next version!
Agreed on all fronts! I could get down with a dark UI too...
Wow I am so happy really they listen to me I always ask SketchUp to add ambiant occlusion I like the new graphics stuff really so happy I think they should now focus on UV tool or add something like texeldensity because as a SketchUp user I now see my self using blender more and more because of the UV tools in blender because when you want your textures to look good in Unreal engine you will need those awesome tools we have SketchUV whitch is good but not useful if you want to pack your UV …. SketchUp should work really on the outliner ( we have to be able to add colors like in blender so that our hierarchy becomes more useful) -speaking of blender window users have SketchUp importer if they want to render or use the project in blender it will be nice to have the possibility to do so for Mac users (why not to integrate a blender extension(.blend ) in the SketchUp export extension so that after finishing our model in SketchUp we can easily use blender ( amazing and free ) and finish our job( not obj something like SketchUpimporter because it respect your model hierarchy ) We should be able to import obj and FBX in SketchUp now that we have the possibility to use our graphic…. Thanks again #sketchUp
So is Sketchup really ONLY a software for architects ? I NEVER see focus on anything else.
I honestly could NOT disagree more (I think?). I'm not sure WHAT we are arguing about... Could you clarify?
I used it and Sketchup Layout to make the plans for my house 5 years ago. But now I got a 3D printer (Bambu PS1 with AMS) and sketchup is painfull compared to parameterised STEP modelling in Fusion 360 or OnShape.
i expected more from skp 2024
I expect more from the younger generations... Like punctuation, capitalization, and less abbreviation. What's your feature request?
@@BrightmanDesigns Your comment itself shows how great these Sketchup updates are 🤣
Trimble got to him. This is a complete 180 to all your previous videos.
So you don't like the performance improvements and ambient occlusion? Also, if you are interested in Tekla make sure to click this (affiliate) link... www.tekla.com/us
Ah yes - the 'ol "release a significantly improved version and people will be happy trick" - gets them every time
Oldest trick in the book Justin! Never saw it coming... I hope they didn't get you too!
@@BrightmanDesigns Nope - I hate performance improvements and great new features - can't pull the wool over my eyes!
This release is laden with bugs. Need to wait for patch.
Performance improvements? Don't be ridiculous! Layout and Sketchup aren't slow; you're just modeling wrong! Does this mean no more gaslighting of desperately frustrated users in the forums? Truly a new era is upon us.
Agreed! It's not LayOut... It's you! I'm with you on that... Reasonable/responsible modeling eliminates 95% of the issues. Stoked on these new performance upgrades, but let's not slip on proper lightweight modeling techniques...
Thanks for the review Mike. I know what I'll be doing this weekend
Finally LayOut go some love! Dig in and let me know if you agree...
I am kind of in love with sketchUP all over again....absolutely waiting to try the ambient occlusion style... The overhaul of SU and LY for using the power of graphic cards is awesome news....thanks for giving a peek at the updates.
Me too 🥰 Impressive features and improvements this year that have a direct impact on my day to day frustrations... and improve my graphic style. I dig it!
Great review, Mike! Thanks!
Thanks JB!
Love the video bro. Keep er coming.
It s amazing when it’s a small model less detailed but if not it would be a nightmare
welp... that's why you gotta build clean lightweight models! Also, you can switch off "auto-render" and then just right-click > render models on page if LayOut is dragging.
*promosm* 🤭
I use su for illustrations in technical documentation. I really wish tremble would make an option to purchase and own the software. The subscription model makes me very hesitant to recommend it. 3d studio from autodesk is only 3x the cost of su but in a very different league. Tremble is also leaving the entire hobbyist group in the dark. The online version is useless and slow. If they sold a version without layout for $100 it would be acceptable.
thanks for sharing your expertise and inventiveness. Learning useful tips to make models and drawings for clients and permits. ConDoc rocks!
The LO drafting tips are much appreciated. The SketchUp channel puts out great content for modeling in SU, but they're missing someone who regularly uses LO for CDs. Keep up the good work filling the gap.
Really impressive video!
heeeeey! thanks raaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
this way is amazing when you want black wall but if you want to have grey or White .... you will have many lines and that s not cool.thats why i use the knigh tool to cut and get rid of many line ...
Agreed! I am angling for trim, extend, and fillet tools. Even a double line "wall" tool would be slick... with hatch! No we're talking... Just pull a page from the CAD playbook and beat them at their own game!
Amazing
Thank you!
