JB: The pull from SketchUp 8 to SketchUp 2013 was a pretty long one, but prior to that we were on a roughly 18-month development cycle. Why is this happening compared to the days when Google owned SketchUp? Clearly the core SketchUp team is the same, but what is different now compared to back then?

I can’t comment on the specifics of our future roadmap, but folks should expect a new release each year.ĪFR: Between the 20 releases the SketchUp team seems to be in 6th gear! A lot has been delivered in a short period of time.

Some features take longer to implement and test than others. We launch new SketchUp releases when they’re ready for the user community, and that doesn’t always happen on a fixed schedule. Additionally, we launched two major web properties this year – the new 3D Warehouse with SketchUp 2014 and Trimble Connect with SketchUp 2015. I’m pleased that we’ve been able to do that. JB (John Bacus): At our first 3D Basecamp after moving from Google to Trimble, I committed to a new SketchUp release every year.
#Trimble sketchup pro 2015 update
The InterviewĪFR (Anthony Frausto-Robledo): Why did Trimble release two updates in one single year for SketchUp? What drove the decision to squeeze another update in 2014? And might users expect this to happen again in the future? In this interview with long-time product director of SketchUp, John Bacus, he discusses SketchUp 2015 and answers many of our questions.

Where is SketchUp headed…? Where is Trimble headed with SketchUp? These are some of the things that interest us and readers alike. Suddenly, Trimble looks like a full service AECO BIM company with leading BIM tools at the front end of the design-build-delivery process.įrom our perspective, what is shaping up with SketchUp at Trimble is quite fascinating, especially as the company is a committed believer in open industry standards. Now, only recently in fact, Trimble acquired Gehry Technologies’ dominant newer assets in its technology savvy GTeam offering, renaming it Trimble Connect in the process. The independent software superstar left the vastness of the Google nest for more appropriate parents. But then the company acquired SketchUp from Google a few years ago.
