![]() No matter where you are, or what you teach, make SketchUp work for your classroom. Now let’s jump into class and see what’s new. ![]() With a new school year, comes new curriculum. This year, we worked with teachers across the country to develop content for a wide range of classrooms. You’ll notice this new curriculum isn’t just targeted towards traditional 3D modeling classes. How can it get even better, you ask? We added educator resources to help teachers customize this curriculum for their classrooms. You can now use the Search tool in your native tongue (12 languages total!). Not only does it help uncover the tool that you’re searching for, but it also displays other relevant tools that may be of use in your classroom. So translation confusion eliminated - phew! We worked with 3D modeling experts across the globe to make sure our translated modeling concepts were up to par. Tired of not knowing why your model isn’t a solid? We’ve made some updates to include display controls that allow you to turn on X-ray mode to see through your component, as well as show hidden geometry. Now, students can quickly locate a break in geometry that is not visible from the exterior of the model. You’ll notice the opening page of SketchUp for Schools has gotten a facelift and now shows a list of recent files. Students can easily find and keep track of what they’ve been working on, which means a classroom time saver!Ĭurriculum videos now launch directly in the modeling window of SketchUp for Schools! You and your students can now follow along and model without having to continually shift back and forth between tabs. Open the app and explore all of the great new features. Don’t forget to let us know what you think in our forums. We’re always listening to feedback on how we can make SketchUp for Schools excel in your classroom environment.SketchUp Pro is a 3D modeling software application that is used extensively by schools worldwide. #SKETCHUP FOR SCHOOLS FREE#Īlthough there is a free version of SketchUp, there is also a Pro version which is typically a product for which schools must pay.
