Live Components

What We Did

SketchUp 2026.0 adds additional Live Component gripping functionality to the Scale tool. These grips allow you to place and size Live Components by inference. We’ve also added several quality-of-life improvements to painting Live Components.

The Details

Scaling Live Components

The Scale tool ( ) can now be used with Live Components, allowing more flexibility when placing components in your models.

These grips are not always locked to the bounds of the component. That means you can better identify what you are sizing and how to best fit a component in your model. Check out 3D Warehouse’s SketchUp Content Library to browse sizable Live Components, available to SketchUp subscribers. Not all existing Live Components have scale grips, but more that do are coming soon!

Improved Material Workflows

The Paint Bucket tool can apply custom materials to a Live Component, even materials not already available in that component. This updated workflow now includes better texture mapping, painting while a Live Component is selected, a better way of handling materials, and a few other behind-the-scenes changes to help with SketchUp Material Library compatibility.

Learn More

For more information see SketchUp Live Components .

General Modeling Improvements

What We Did

SketchUp 2026.0 includes several notable improvements across scaling, rotating, scenes, and inferencing.

The Details

Scaling Improvements

When scaling objects it can be hard to access grips hidden by other geometry without a lot of orbiting, panning, and adjusting visibility. In small spaces, scaling may require extra clicks. Now, scale grips display through other geometry, so that you can always see and click them.

Rotate Improvements

SketchUp 2025 introduced rotation handles to the Rotate tool. These handles allow for quick- two-click rotations, but cause unexpected results after locking the rotation plane. To avoid problems, rotation grips will not appear when you’ve locked a rotation plane.

Moving from a profile edge

When placing objects, the object you are placing could obscure the background elements, making it hard to align things. Some workarounds include showing back edges, turning on X-ray, or cycling through bounding box grips.

To address these issues, groups and components can now be done using one of its profile edges. The object will become transparent, making it much easier to see and choose your placement target. Profiles don’t need to be visible for this to work, but still depends on camera position and the complexity of geometry.

Scene Undo and Redo

Making the wrong update to a scene can be frustrating. Before 2026.0, it could require hours or discovering new extensions to get a scene back to where you want it. To address this issue, the ability to undo or redo scene updates is now available. Undo and Redo works just like it does when editing other parts of your model and will also respect creating, renaming, and deleting actions.

Purge Unused

The Purge Unused reminder seen when you save a model will now be off by default. You can still control this reminder in Preferences. When switched on, you can now control exactly what you want to purge, helping to make sure you aren’t purging useful assets. Purge Unused also appears in the Edit menu and can be assigned a shortcut, so that you can purge what you want, when you want.

Trays and Panels (Windows)

As part of ongoing work to update the SketchUp interface, you can control tray and panel visibility by right-clicking tray and panel headers. Selecting an unchecked panel makes it visible within the tray you clicked on. This new functionality is an alternative to using the Window menu whenever you want to activate trays or show panels within a tray.

Additionally, panels can now be dragged between trays or out into open space to become an independent tray. If you want to turn that new window into a tray, you can context click the temporary tray click Make Tray .

Learn More

For more information on how to use these new features, see Drawing Lines, Shapes, and 3D Objects .

Manage Activations

What We Did

You can now reset all activations and authorize your current device without leaving SketchUp for Desktop.

The Details

Sketchup’s End User License Agreement (EULA) limits the amount of installations and authorizations for each application included in your subscription to two instances or devices. If you try to install and authorize an application on a third device or open a third instance of an application, you'll see the message "You have exceeded your allowed activations."

If you reach that message when opening SketchUp for Desktop, an option now appears allowing you to reset all activations and authorize your current device without having to access your account management page.

Learn More

For more details on how you can manage your activations, see Managing Activations .

SketchUp Interoperability

What We Did

SketchUp 2026.0 now offers several fidelity and efficiency improvements for importing and exporting DWG files. This includes hatch support and preserving section planes. The IFC export workflow has also been enhanced, consolidating IFC 2x3 and IFC 4 into a single file type with expanded Export Options.

The Details

DWG Import Options

When importing a DWG file, two new options are now available – Import Layers as Groups and Import Linework Flattened .

Selecting Import Layers as Groups tells SketchUp to create groups corresponding to the imported DWG’s layer structure. These imported layers still have their own Tag, but now also have corresponding, grouped geometry allowing for improved visibility control in your imported model.

Selecting Import Linework Flattened sets the Z-value of imported geometry to 0, decreasing the common post-import cleanup needed when converting 2D CAD data into 3D models. By eliminating Z-axis discrepancies, the tool prevents disruptive issues like misalignments and helps you start with a clean, accurate foundation. If you are familiar with other CAD software, this works a lot like the Flatten feature found in those applications.

DWG Hatch Support

Sketchup now imports hatches from DWG files. Imported solid hatches become faces. Non-solid hatches become edges.

Exporting 3D Sections

SketchUp now preserves section planes when exporting 3D DWG files, resulting in DWG Sections. These sections can then be used with the Generate Section Block and 2D Section / Elevation features in AutoCAD.

Other DWG Improvements

SketchUp 2026.0 also includes the following DWG improvements:

• Polylines from DWG files now import as welded SketchUp lines.

• SketchUp now better handles component instance names, reducing duplicative data.

• 3D Polyline now appears as intended in the Import Results dialog.

• Better results when exporting true curves.

• Multiple issues with the 3D AutoCAD exporter were addressed.

• 3D polylines now export as intended to 2D DWG.

IFC Exporter Improvements

When exporting your model, the IFC 2x3 and IFC 4 options are now consolidated into a single IFC File option in the list of file types. You can then select a specific IFC version in the new Export Options dialog.

The new IFC Export Options dialog also includes a new Standard IFC Spatial Hierarchy option. Selecting this option creates essential entities like IfcProject, IfcSite, or IfcBuilding, even if they aren’t defined in your model’s Outliner structure.

For more information on importing and exporting with SketchUp, see Using SketchUp Data with Other Modeling Programs or Tools .

Scan Essentials

What We Did

Scan Essentials includes two new point cloud modeling workflows, the Texture Projection and Mesh Generation tools, a new Scene Manager to better control the visibility of point clouds in both SketchUp and Layout, and the ability to reset transformations to the original georeferenced coordinate system when exporting.

The Details

SketchUp subscribers with access to Scan Essentials can now use two new tools – Texture Projection and Surface Mesh.

With Texture Projection, you can extract an image texture from scan data and project it onto SketchUp geometry. Projected textures turn into SketchUp materials you can reuse in other parts of your model, or even other models if you save them.

The new Surface Mesh tool makes extracting Sketchup geometry from point clouds easier. After selecting the Surface Mesh tool you can choose the area you want to extract from, define how you want to extract the geometry, and create a mesh in just a few steps.

Along with these new tools, you can now save visibility settings from the Point Cloud Manager as a scene in both SketchUp and LayOut.

Finally, clicking Reset Transformations in the Point Cloud Manager now resets all transformations, including global transformations. This can be a great tool for those who want to export their original data for use with other apps.

Learn More

For more information, see Scan Essentials for SketchUp .

LayOut

LayOut Interface and Performance Updates

What We Did

The LayOut interface on Windows looks and operates more like SketchUp with updated iconography, tray and panel configurations, and toolbar customization.

The Details

LayOut’s new interface on Windows brings SketchUp style to your LayOut documents.

LayOut’s trays and panels now behave a lot more like their SketchUp counterparts. You can arrange them in your workspace, drag panels out, and create new trays to best fit your workflows. Toolbars received a similar uplift, allowing you to arrange them how you like in your workspace, similar to how it works in SketchUp.

Vector and Hybrid Rendering Performance

LayOut’s Hidden Line Rendering (HLR) code generates the vector linework used in vector and hybrid SketchUp model viewports. We’ve improved this process granting a significant speed increase.

Learn More

For more information see Creating Documents in LayOut .

LayOut Drafting Tools

What We Did

Four new drafting tools, Trim, Extend, Fillet, and Chamfer, are now available. These tools provide a more intuitive and effective way to create and manipulate 2D vectors.

The Details

LayOut’s new drafting tools can help bypass unnecessary selections and eliminate extra cleanup when performing simple 2D tasks like detailing and diagramming. Each of these tools performs a specific function:

• Trim ( ) – The Trim tool provides an efficient way to clear lines or shapes without the need to clean up additional vectors. Trim removes excess lines and creates clean intersections, improving both speed and accuracy. The default shortcut for Trim is Shift + T.

• Extend ( ) – The Extend tool simplifies 2D drafting by providing a quick and easy way to extend lines and other entities. The default shortcut for Extend is Shift + E.

• Fillet ( ) – The Fillet tool creates precise rounded corners between two entities based on a defined radius. The default shortcut for Fillet is Shift + F.

• Chamfer ( ) – The Chamfer tool adds a 45° angle between two lines at a defined distance. The default shortcut for Chamfer is Shift + C.

These tools can be found in the Main Toolbar. Trim and Extend share the same spot in the toolbar with a dropdown available to switch between the two. Fillet and Chamfer also share one toolbar icon.

Learn More

For more information see Using the Drafting Tools .

Scrapbook Improvements

What We Did

LayOut’s default Scrapbook libraries now include 2D Windows, Doors, Furniture, Kitchen, Bath, and People under the Architecture category.

The Details

The Scrapbook libraries shipped with LayOut provide common reusable elements that are simple to add and scale in your drawings. We’ve now added a new Scrapbook called Architecture. This new Scrapbook offers common architectural assemblies that work well with model viewports or plans drafted within LayOut.

This new Architecture Scrapbook contains elements of the following types:

• Doors with Wall Mask (Doors created with a rectangle ‘Masking’ out entities below)

• Doors

• Windows

• Living

• Bedroom

• Kitchen

• Bath

All the Architectural Scrapbook content is created as customizable Scaled Groups.

Learn More

For more information on the existing and new Scrapbook libraries, see Working with Scrapbooks .

LayOut Importing and Exporting Improvements

What We Did

LayOut 2026.0 brings multiple updates to DWG functionality, improving efficiency in how LayOut imports and exports your document using that file format.

The Details

If you use AutoCAD as part of your 2D workflows, LayOut can help you create and maintain drawings. LayOut received quite a few improvements to help when working with DWG files:

• Page Export – When exporting a LayOut document you can now export each page in your document as a distinct DWG file.

• Tag Preservation – Exporting to DWG now preserves tag naming structures of your SketchUp viewports.

• Stacked Viewports – When multiple SketchUp viewports are located in the same position in your document, these models will now also be stacked on top of each other in the exported DWG model space.

• Text, Hatches, and Tables – LayOut now accurately exports text, hatches and tables to DWG. This includes proper AutoCAD table elements with font and border settings. LayOut also better recognizes and imports these elements when importing a DWG into your document.

• Broken Lines and Curves – LayOut now properly creates continued lines for elements exported from SketchUp viewports.

• USDZ & TRB

  • Fixed a bug that caused textures to be lost when uploading models to Trimble Connect.

  • The USDZ import library has been updated, fixing an issue where files from phone scans would appear black by using emissive textures as a fallback.

  • Resolved a bug that created invalid USDZ files that failed to load in external viewers and corrected color mapping to ensure colors match the original SketchUp file.

  • An issue that caused TrimBIM (.TRB) file sizes to increase with each export attempt has been resolved.

API Release Notes (Ruby & C API)

Breaking Changes

Undoable Scene Operations

In SketchUp 2026.0 adding, deleting, and modifying scenes is now an undoable operation. Previously, these operations were not included in the undo stack. Now, if an extension modifies scenes using the API, an operation will be added to the undo stack. If these scene modifications are not called inside of an undo operation, extensions will inadvertently be adding extra operations to the undo stack.
We are asking developers to update and test their extensions that work with scenes. Please make sure to wrap all your scene operations between Sketchup::Model#start_operation and Sketchup::Model#commit_operation so that your extension does not flood the undo stack. Please test that you are able to update your extension to work as expected, and report any issues you might find to centercode early in the beta cycle.

• Modifying the properties Sketchup::Axes, Sketchup::Camera, Sketchup::RenderingOptions, and Sketchup::ShadowInfo of a Sketchup::Page is now an undoable operation.

• Scene changes must now be called between Sketchup::Model#start_operation and Sketchup::Model#commit_operation to avoid flooding the undo stack. This is an important new dynamic and we will start requiring this for extensions submitted to Extension Warehouse. Extensions not following this will be rejected from the Extension Warehouse.

Non-invertible transformations

• {Sketchup::ComponentInstance#transformation=}, {Sketchup::ComponentInstance#transform!}, {Sketchup::Group#transformation=}, {Sketchup::Group#transform!}, {Sketchup::Image#transformation=} and {Sketchup::Image#transform!} no longer accepts non-inversible transformations (typically a transformation scaling to 0 in any axis).

• {Sketchup::Entities#transform_entities} can no longer apply non-inversible transformations to {Sketchup::ComponentInstance}, {Sketchup::Group} and {Sketchup::Image}.

Crash Fixes

• Fixed a crash in Layout::SketchUpModel when trying to render a model with an environment before the viewport was added to a Layout::Document.

• Fixed a crash on quit when using Sketchup.send_action in an HTML dialog on_close event.

• Fixed an undo crash related to using Sketchup::Classifications#load_schema and Sketchup::ComponentDefinition#add_classification in the same operation.

• Resolved a crash that occurred during a transaction rollback triggered by an undo in the UI.

• Windows – Fixed a crash during model.place_component().

• Windows – Addressed a crash when placing an Empty Component Definition in SketchUp.

API Improvements

SketchUp Ruby API

API Bug Fixes

Ruby API

• Fixed a regression in Sketchup::Model#drawing_element_visible? that threw an exception.

• {Geom::Transformation#inverse} and {Geom::Transformation#invert!} raises ArgumentError for non-inversible transformations (typically a transformation scaling to 0 in any axis).
