SketchUp 2014: Overview

Models galore, easier to find and use

SketchUp’s universe of free 3D models is almost infinite; the improvements we’ve made to 3D Warehouse make that universe infinitely more useful. From fully-interactive model previews to an entirely new UI, the changes in 2014 are huge.

BIM classification and interoperability

With SketchUp Pro 2014, you don’t have to sell a kidney or go back to school to start adding elements of BIM (Building Information Modeling) to your models. We added features for classifying objects and exporting files according to some of the industry’s most common BIM standards.

Time-saving tools for documentation

When designing things that you will not be building yourself, it all comes down to the documents. LayOut in SketchUp Pro 2014 takes care of dates, page numbers, and repetitive text so you can focus on what matters: making better drawings.

SketchUp 2014. Now with more oomph

Everyone wants SketchUp to get faster—especially us. That’s why we tweak the code every version to speed things up. This time, we supercharged shadows in big models and made vector rendering in LayOut more than ten times as quick.

New Versions of Render Plus Apps

SketchUp 2014 includes a new version of Ruby, and required that we update all of our Apps.

You will need to download the latest version of our Apps to use them with SketchUp 2014, and if you license is over 12 months old, you will need to renew your license to use it with SketchUp 2014.

Download new Version

IRender nXt , ArielVision, RPS 3D PDF , RpTools and SpaceDesign all have new versions and new downloads for use with SketchUp 2014.

We just found a bug that was keeping IRender nXt from loading correctly in 2014.

We're fixing it and will post a new install after we build it and test it a bit.

I tried the new version with SketchUp 2014 and still cannot access IRender - no plugin window and doesn't show under Preferences-Extensions.

Do you mean that Plugins is not a menu choice at all for you in SketchUp 2014?

Yes. No plugins option and iRender doesn't show under Preferences - extensions.

Could you open the Ruby Console window and type in:

load 'RPS_IRender_nxt.rb'

and then:

load 'RPS_IRender_nxt/RPS_IRender_nxt2.rb'

To see what errors we see?

I see:

load 'RPS_IRender_nxt.rb'
