Utilizing SketchUp for iPad (Beta), architects and designers may build 3D models without paper and pencil by using an iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini, iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, mouse, keyboard, or multitouch gestures. The software employs 5G connectivity and has strong native interaction with Trimble ConnectTM, a cloud-based collaboration platform that enables real-time file updates. Users can transition easily between SketchUp for iPad, Web, and Desktop, facilitating efficient project stakeholder collaboration.
The modern, adaptable method to create, modify, and view 3D models whether you're on a job site, on the go, or in the office is with SketchUp for iPad. You can utilize the power of 3D your way with support for the Apple Pencil, multi-touch gestures, and mouse and keyboard. Draw, swipe, and click quickly to give your imaginative vision form.
