One of the intriguing features of SketchUp is a hand drawn look called Sketchy Styles. When combined with Visualizer’s realistic shading, the results can be artistically compelling and can add structural detail to your illustrations.

An early Christmas present has arrived for all you SketchUp lovers. This is what they are saying about some of their key new features:

  • For the first time ever, we’re offering a 64-bit version for Windows and Mac machines.
  • We’ve sharpened “Face-Finder,” the code SketchUp uses to create faces while you’re modeling. Look for big improvements in operations like explode, especially in your behemoth-sized models.
  • SketchUp is now self-aware of styles that help your model render faster. You’ll notice “Fast Styles” badged in the styles window, including those you create yourself.
