Installation of SketchUp on Mac is simpler with this release! Here are the changes you will see: Learn more about the new view transformations in LayOut. The key difference is that LayOut now previews your transformation, instead of drawing it in real-time as you are manipulating a selection. In 2020.2, we are introducing some slight but significant modifications to LayOut's selection and transformation behavior that should improve the experience of moving, copying, and scaling selections in larger projects. As pages get more complex and documents get longer, operating on selections gets slower. Good LayOut documents are an arrangement of viewports, images, vector graphics, labels… everything just so. LayOut selection and transformation improvements Learn more about the new Line Style override behavior in LayOut. Click 'Reset' to return to the viewport to its default styling. Once you set line styles for various tags in a model viewport, you shouldn't have to repeat the exercise.

We call these changes to the styling of tags 'overrides' because they persist across model reference updates. For tags without a line style applied, click 'Default' to pull up the styling options. Now, click on the line style of a tag to pull up styling options. To get going: select a viewport in LayOut, open the SketchUp Model inspector dialog, and expand the Tags panel. This means that by applying tags in SketchUp, you can control the style of your linework in LayOut… without stacking multiple viewports. You can now control the edge width, scale, color, and stipple pattern for SketchUp tags in LayOut. Line style 'overrides' for Tags in LayOut Learn more about the new Line Tool inference toggling. Without changing toggles, arrow key inference locks are still available, so you can jump from no inferences to a specific one pretty quickly. One more tap, and you are back to standard inferencing. Hit the toggle again and the only inference you'll snap to is Parallel/Perpendicular (magenta). SketchUp will now ignore all linear-red, blue, green, magenta-inferences. To give it a go: activate the Line tool, start drawing a line, and hit the Alt (Windows) / Command (Mac) modifier key to toggle off directional inferencing. You can now turn off linear inferencing while using the Line tool. Linear inference toggle for the Line Tool Learn more about the new Weld functionality. The new command is contextual to a selection of edges, available in the right-click context menu, from within the Edit menu, and available as a shortcut as well. In 2020.2, Weld Edges is a native capability for SketchUp users as well. Looking forward, we hope to see this improve the performance for individual extensions. If you aren't aware, extension developers previously had to do some wacky stuff to perform a weld operation. In 2020.1, we introduced API functionality to weld edges in SketchUp. Some changes are straightforward enough-Weld!-while others are new concepts to explore in SketchUp and LayOut.
