Choose a live component to tinker with and download it into your SketchUp model! To bring a live component into SketchUp, open 3D Warehouse in SketchUp and navigate to our SketchUp Labs Live Component collection (or use the new Live Component search filter under advanced search options). Live Components are a new breed of parametrically configurable objects, and in this release you can control them in SketchUp. With a tag selection in place, click the visibility icon for any tag or folder in your selection: the entire selection will respect your visibility change. To make a custom selection, use the CTRL (Command on Mac) and Shift keys to select desired tags and folders. You can also use keyboard selection modifiers to select multiple folders (or tags) and set their visibility all at once. You can also use filtering when creating tag folders: filter down to a prefix or naming convention, choose Select All in the Tag Details menu, and hit the Add Tag Folder button. We hope this makes it a lot easier to zero in on specific tags. Tag filteringĪ long time coming, we're happy to introduce filtering in SketchUp's Tags panel. And to accommodate models with deeper hierarchies or long tag lists, you can now control the width and height of LayOut's Tags panel. Of course, scenes remember the visibility of your tags and tag folders across SketchUp and LayOut. Tag Folders are also available in LayOut, where the tag tree hierarchy and visibility control is available in LayOut's Tags panel. We hope you'll try out tag folders with some existing models and also by creating tag hierarchies from scratch. Then select multiple tags, and drag/drop them into a folder. Or, click the Add Tag Folder button and assign a name to a new tag folder.Select multiple tags in an existing model and click the Add Tag Folder button to group them in a tag folder.

Additionally, folders can expand and collapse, making it easier to scan your tag structure and find the tags you need. In this release, you can organize multiple tags into Tag Folders and control the visibility of folders per scene. We are still keen to make it easier for people who maintain models using large and complex lists of tags and scenes. But we're certainly optimistic you'll start to see SketchUp in these new marks, and that they will feel 'at home' over time.

We expect that it will take time for people to adjust to the new logos for our products. These new marks align SketchUp to the broader portfolio of Trimble products and… they can be modeled in SketchUp! This means new application icons for SketchUp, LayOut, 3D Warehouse, Extension Warehouse, and Style Builder, as well as a few modified toolbar icons. (Do you remember the logo before then?) We're moving forward with new marks for SketchUp and its application suite.

The red SketchUp logo served us well since 2012.
