Trimble announced advancements in collaboration and documentation, site context and visualization in its latest update for Trimble SketchUp®. The 3D modeling software now offers private sharing control, in-app commenting and real-time viewing, enabling designers to get feedback on designs directly within SketchUp for Desktop. New professional 2D conceptual drafting tools in LayOut, enhanced point cloud capabilities, and refined visualization tools help designers bring their visions to life faster, clearer and with more confidence. "Great designs are shaped by conversation, iteration and shared insight," said Sandra Winstead, senior director of product management, architecture and design at Trimble. "Rather than jumping between email threads or third-party tools to hold conversations, collaborate and make design decisions, we've built collaboration directly into SketchUp. Now, designers can have a two-way dialogue with clients and project stakeholders in the SketchUp model for quicker iterations and better alignment throughout the design process. Collectively, from collaboration to documentation, context and
