Managing Markups

2 things to update this thread on regarding the update to SketchUp for iPad Beta that went out earlier today:

• We’ve made some exciting updates to Markup Mode. It’s now possible to edit existing markups and it’s also possible to project your markups and merge your hand-drawn sketches with your 3D models.

  • Edit Markups: After tapping a scene that contains one or more markups, you can then activate the Markup mode tool. SketchUp will ask what you want to do next. If you choose the option to edit a markup, SketchUp will then ask you to choose which of the markups contained in the active scene you want to edit.
  • Project Markups: After tapping a scene that contains one or more markups, you’ll then need to pre-select the face or faces in the model that you want to project your markups onto. After making a selection, you can then tap the … icon or swipe on the active markup scene in the Scenes panel. In the slide-over menu, you’ll see the markup icon. Tapping the Markup icon will project the markups of a scene onto the preselected geometry (and create unique materials that are the result of the merger between your markups and the materials that were previously applied to that geometry). Orbit to see the results.

• We’ve added the option to export SketchUp files in USDz format. You’ll find the option to export USDz from the … overflow menu of model cards that are displayed on the Home Screen in the Recent Models list. We’re excited about the workflows that this capability will unlock for working across other great iPad apps like Morpholio Trace and Procreate, to name a few – and will be listening for feedback.
