Thema: Google SketchUp ...

Wer die eigenen vier Wände dreidimensional nachbauen und das Modell anschließend in Google Earth platzieren will, muss sich nicht mehr durch englische Menüs und Tooltips beißen: Der Internet-Konzern stellt jetzt eine komplett eingedeutschte Version seines kostenlosen 3D-Zeichenprogramms Google SketchUp 6 zum Download zur Verfügung. Auch die Programmhilfe wurde vollständig übersetzt, lediglich die Anleitungsvideos auf der SketchUp-Webseite gibt es nach wie vor nur mit englischer Tonspur. SketchUp läuft unter Mac OS X (10.4) und Windows 2000/XP, Vista wird nicht komplett unterstützt.

Die kostenlose Ausgabe des 3D-Skizzenwerkzeugs darf allerdings nicht kommerziell eingesetzt werden, sondern soll der Planung privater Bau- und Bastelvorhaben dienen – oder zum Nachbau von Alltagsgegenständen, real existierenden Gebäuden oder phantastischer Architekturen, die Freizeit-Modellierer über Googles 3D-Galerie austauschen sollen. Da sich fertige SketchUp-Modelle als komprimierte KML-Dateien exportieren lassen, fügen sie sich reibungslos in den Satellitenkartenbrowser Google Earth ein. Viele der dort gezeigten originalgetreuen Gebäudemodelle stammen von privaten SketchUp-Enthusiasten.

SketchUp ist weiterhin als Pro-Version für 495 US-Dollar erhältlich. Diese speichert die fertigen Modelle auch in gängigen CAD- und 3D-Formaten – die Heimanwender-Ausgabe hingegen exportiert lediglich Pixelbilder, deren Auflösung darüber hinaus auf die Darstellung des Bildschirms beschränkt ist.

Google hatte den SketchUp-Hersteller @Last Software im März vergangenen Jahres übernommen und kurz darauf die erste abgespeckte Version von SketchUp für Privatnutzer zum kostenlosen Download freigegeben. Bisher lag diese Fassung allerdings nur mit englischer Bedienoberfläche vor.

Der Suchmaschinenbetreiber Google hat heute die Version 7.1 des Tools veröffentlicht, mit dem sich sehr leicht umfangreiche 3D-Modelle erstellen lassen. Die in Colorado ansässige Firma SketchUp entwickelt dieses Programm bereits seit 1999 und wurde inzwischen von Google gekauft.

Wie bei der Bilderverwaltung Picasa auch, stellt der Suchmaschinenbetreiber hier eine kostenlose Version zur Verfügung, obwohl der ursprüngliche Hersteller dies nicht getan hat. Im Fall der Software SketchUp gibt es allerdings noch eine kostenpflichtige Pro-Version für 330 Euro, die einen erweiterten Funktionsumfang bietet.

"SketchUp ist eine leistungsstarke und sehr leicht erlernbare und bedienbare 3D-Software, die für die Konzeptions- und Entwurfsphase von Designs entwickelt wurde. Die preisgekrönte Software kombiniert umfangreiche Funktionalität mit höchster Benutzerfreundlichkeit, die 3D-Design an Ihrem Computer rationalisiert und vereinfacht."

In der jetzt veröffentlichten Version 7.1 ist es dank der überarbeiteten Rendering-Engine möglich, umfangreiche 3D-Modelle schneller und weicher zu bearbeiten. Insgesamt soll sich die Software schneller anfühlen. Zudem unterstützt sie den Import und Export der Dateiformate Collada und KMZ. 3D-Objekte lassen sich jetzt mit Fotos von Google Street View texturieren. Außerdem kann man sich ab sofort Gebäude aus der Onlinedatenbank 3D Warehouse anzeigen lassen, die sich in der Nähe des aktuell bearbeiteten Objekts befinden.

Im Internet bietet Google bereits über 5000 Modelle an, die man sich kostenlos herunterladen kann, um sie dann in SketchUp zu importieren. Eigene Entwürfe lassen sich exportieren und in Google Earth auf einer beliebigen Stelle der Satellitenkarte platzieren und betrachten. Um die Bedienung zu erlernen, ist ein Tutorial vorhanden, welches rund 15 Minuten Zeit in Anspruch nimmt. Danach steht dem Erstellen eigener Modelle nichts mehr im Weg.

Google stellt sein 3D-Skizzenwerkzeug für Architektur- und Bühnenentwürfe, Möbelgestaltung, Spieleentwicklung und technisches Design namens SketchUp 7 jetzt auch mit deutscher sowie französischer, spanischer und italienischer Bedienoberfläche zur Verfügung. Bislang musste sich mit der Vorversion begnügen, wer keine englischen Menüs und Tooltipps in Kauf nehmen wollte.

Die Anwendung ist weiterhin als kostenlose Ausgabe für den nicht-kommerziellen Einsatz sowie als erheblich erweiterte Pro-Version für 380 Euro erhältlich (Upgrade: 72 Euro). SketchUp läuft unter Windows XP und Vista sowie unter Mac OS X ab 10.4.

Die Liste der Neuerungen liest sich zunächst nicht gerade umwerfend: Version 8 von Googles 3D-Entwurfs- und Konstruktionssoftware SketchUp bindet zusätzlich zu Google Earth auch Google Maps ein, um in 3D konstruierte Objekte und Gebäude mit einer geografischen Koordinate zu versehen. Die Satellitenbilder erscheinen dabei bunt und nicht mehr wie bisher schwarzweiß. Die Konstruktion von Häusern nach Fotos soll einfacher geworden sein.

Interessanter wirken da schon die sogenannten Solid Tools, die logische Operationen wie Vereinigung, Schnitt oder Aufteilung unter räumlichen Objekten beherrschen – Ähnliches kennt man von Vektorzeichenprogrammen, wo die Kombination allerdings auf zweidimensionale Formen beschränkt bleiben. Leider stehen die Solid Tools nur in der kommerziellen Edition von SketchUp für 495 US-Dollar zur Verfügung, nicht in der kostenlosen Basisausgabe, deren Einsatz zudem auf den persönlichen Gebrauch eingeschränkt ist und die, verglichen mit der Bezahlversion, deutlich weniger Export- und Importfunktionen sowie nur sehr eingeschränkte Druck- und Visualisierungsoptionen bietet.

Was aber auch Nutzer der Gratisausgabe von SketchUp mit Version 8 in die Hand bekommen, ist das neue Werkzeug namens Outer Shell: Es erzeugt automatisch eine Form, die zuvor ausgewählte Objekte der Zeichnung komplett einschließt – etwa so, als würde man sein Modell in Schrumpffolie einpacken, wie der Hersteller auf seiner Webseite schreibt. Google gibt dort gleichzeitig auch einen Hinweis, wozu man genau dies brauchen könnte, nämlich um Datenmodelle für den 3D-Druck herzustellen. Damit macht sich die kostenlose Ausgabe von SketchUp möglicherweise für ein neues Einsatzfeld interessant.

SketchUp läuft unter Windows 7, Vista und XP sowie unter Mac OS X ab 10.5. Das Programm ist derzeit nur mit englischer Bedienoberfläche zu haben, und erfahrungsgemäß kann es Monate dauern, bis die deutsche Version erscheint.

# The following issues have been fixed
* SketchUp can crash when using Ruby plugins that call Ruby observers. In this release we addressed many of our top crashes, which should significantly improve the stability of SketchUp. The crashes were related to Ruby Observers. In particular:
- Windows > SketchUp was not correctly cleaning up observers on exit, which could lead to crashes.
- Mac > There were several issues with how observers interacted with the Mac’s multiple document interface.
* Previously, when working in SketchUp with a large number of Ruby plugins, some SketchUp context menu items could incorrectly become grayed out. With this release, this issue should happen far less frequently, if ever.
* Models created in localized versions of SketchUp 7.0 and 7.1 had a Layer0 which was translated. If those models were opened in any version of SketchUp prior to M3 and the translated Layer0 was purged or deleted, SketchUp could crash. When opening these models in Maintenance 3, the translated name of “Layer0” is no longer translated, which prevents the crash. When the model is saved, the problem is fixed for all versions of SketchUp.
* Improved messaging and workflow for users without a nickname: In order to use the 3D warehouse, users must login using a Google account that has a nickname associated with it. Previously, when logging into the 3D warehouse using an account with no nickname, the login would fail. In this version, users without a nickname now see a better error message and are directed to a login screen to add a nickname.
* Mac: Previously, when using the Ruby method Entities.add_group(), performance was much slower than on Windows. This issue has been fixed.
# New functionality
* SketchUp now only uses one network license seat when launching multiple instances of SketchUp on the same Windows machine. Previously, when using a Windows network license each instance of SketchUp would use a separate license seat. In this version, launching multiple instances of SketchUp on the same machine will now result in only one network seat being used.
* More secure image libraries, better protected from potential security vulnerabilities.
* Added a link displaying Open Source Credits in the About Google SketchUp dialog.
* Mac: We made a change that made uploads to the 3D Warehouse more reliable.

# The following issues have been fixed:
* Graphics card-related crash when updating scenes which use a standard view (e.g., Top, Front) on some machines.
* Mac: crash when exporting a model with dimensions or text to 2d DWG.
* Mac: VCB does not work if you give it focus. Previously, when clicking in or tabbing to the VCB on the Mac and typing data, the VCB didn't behave as expected.
* Mac: machines with a 10.8 operating system show instructor content that is Windows-specific.
* Windows: crash when selecting the "File" menu item on a small subset of machines. Previously, on some machines, selecting the File menu item crashed SketchUp. This crash was caused by the fact that we used to load all exporters and importers when the File menu item was selected and, on some machines, loading the FBX exporter caused SketchUp to crash. Now, we only load exporters and importers when exporting or importing files. This should lessen the likelihood of experiencing the crash - i.e., the crash should occur now only when selecting File > Export > 2d graphic and File > Export > 3d graphic vs when selecting the File menu item. We are still working on fixing the FBX crash itself. The workaround to this crash is as follows:
- Open Windows Explorer
- Navigate to the C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\Exporters directory (or wherever you have installed SketchUp)
- Rename the file 'Skp2Fbx.dll' to some other name - e.g., Skp2Fbx.bak
- Launch SketchUp again - the crash should no longer occur
* Windows: SketchUp loses floating toolbar visibility state when closing from a minimized state. Previously, floating Ruby toolbars would no longer be visible when re-launching SketchUp if SketchUp were closed from a minimized state via the Windows taskbar.
* SketchUp quits extracting at first failure when extracting files from *.rbz zip files. Previously, when extracting *.rbz files, SketchUp would quit on first failure. Now, SketchUp continues to extract files if it encounters failures.
* Clicking on the "Name" column header in the Layers dialog doesn't sort layers as expected.
* Model Info > Geolocation Dialog does not always refresh after adding a location. Previously, after adding a location, the Model Info > Geolocation dialog did not always reflect that a location had been added.
* Crash when clicking on a material or style on some Unicode configurations. SketchUp previously crashed when clicking on a material or style when it was run using a username containing Japanese/Chinese characters on a native operating system.
* SketchUp fails to export and import for some Unicode configurations. SketchUp previously failed to import and export files when it was run using a username containing Japanese/Chinese characters on a native operating system.
* Bad translations, missing translations and string truncations for the FIGS languages.
* Crash when de-authorizing SU when using the Italian Windows build.
# The following new things have been added:
* We have new installs for the following languages - Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
* LayOut:
- The following issues have been fixed:
> Crash on startup, or shortly after initialization, on Windows machines with user account names that were composed of at least one special character. Typically, this was more present with localized builds.
> Bad translations, missing translations and string truncations for the FIGS languages.
# The following new things have been added:

Whats new:>>

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.

Changelog

# Fixes/Improvements:
* Stability
- Fixed a crash when saving a model after importing a .dwg file that had a component definition name the same as one already in the model.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when auto-folding certain geometry and using an arrow key to lock direction.
- (Mac) Fixed a crash that could occur when opening a new file or switching documents while in the middle of some operations (including importing a 2d image, viewing an image igloo, or using the Dimensions/Text tool).
- (Mac) Fixed a crash that occurred by deleting an in model component’s definition name or description via the Components browser dialog.
* Tools & Inferencing
- Fixed an issue where SketchUp was incorrectly parsing negative lengths for specific formats such as feet and inches (e.g. -2’ 8”) and fractional (e.g. -15 1/2”) when entered in the VCB (Measurements toolbar) or the Ruby Console.
- Removed Shift + Press Alt (Win) and Shift + Press Command (Mac) functionality from Rotate and Protractor tools which freed the center of the protractor. Shift + Alt functionality clashes with the Windows shortcut default setting that changes keyboard language on Windows if multiple languages are installed. The down arrow key provides the same functionality.
- Fixed an issue with the Protractor and Rotate tools in which the protractor jumped to the corner of the screen when making multiple slope entries in the VCB (Measurements toolbar).
- Updated the Section Plane tool so it is colored based on the axis it is normal to when being placed (for consistency with other tools). Also, added a tooltip to indicate “Unlocked plane” or “Locked plane”.
- Added ability to Circle/Polygon tools to use Shift to lock through different point inferences (including endpoints, midpoints, arc centers, and guide points).
- Fixed an issue with Arc, Pie, Circle, and Polygon tools in which the tool could remain locked to a plane after releasing Shift with the down arrow key active.
- Fixed some cosmetic issues with several tools in which the drawing line could be incorrectly colored when locked with the down arrow key.
- Fixed a cosmetic issue with surface based tools in which the tool cursor could be incorrectly colored when locking with an arrow key and parallel to an axis plane.
- Fixed a cosmetic issue with several surface based tools in which the tool highlighted in magenta when pressing Shift to lock normal to an axis.
- (Win) Fixed an issue in which Entity Info accepted arc/pie/circle/polygon segments that were out of range as specified by an error message.
- (Mac) Fixed an issue in which you couldn’t update two consecutive arcs/pies/circles/polygons with the same number of segments in Entity Info.
- (Mac) Fixed an issue where arc/pie/circle/polygon segments temporarily updated to 0 or last valid entry in Entity Info when an invalid entry was made.
* Customizeable Utility Trays on Windows
- Fixed an issue where the drawing window took focus away from extension dialogs. This impacted our shipped extensions (e.g. Component Options, Photo Textures) and some external extensions (including Brighter3D and SU Podium). In some cases extension dialogs appeared to disappear but were located behind the SketchUp window.
- Made a change so that the visibility of an auto-hide tray does not toggle by way of the Window menu or a shortcut as toggling this way caused the tray to immediately retract. The visibility of an auto-hide tray is only managed with the tray tab (hover over tab to display tray).
- Fixed an issue in which renaming an entity in Entity Info didn’t save correctly when subsequently clicking in Outliner.
- Fixed an issue where the selection highlighting was visible when softening edges. The highlight now returns once the cursor moves out of the Soften Edges dialog.
- Fixed an issue in which some drop down and sliders no longer scrolled using the mouse wheel when they had focus.
* Localization
- Fixed an issue where the "Use Image As" text was not translated for our localized builds.
- Fixed missing carousel arrows on our Spanish version of the Learn tab.
- Fixed several German translation issues on our About dialog.
- Fixed the German translation of ‘Knowledge Center’.
- Various other translation quality fixes.
* General fixes
- Fixed an issue where Ruby extensions fail to load / gave errors on launch if you have certain non-English characters in your Ruby path (which can occur if your Windows user name has certain non-English characters). If you’re still seeing an error with the Trimble Connect extension, please update that extension in the Extension Warehouse.
- Fixed our Updater Service so that the user is notified at a more appropriate frequency.
- Fixed issue where cameras were not being exported in the Collada exporter.
- Fixed an issue where temp files were not removed when exporting a 3D model.
- Fixed an issue where the text "This is a very long string. How long do we want?" could show up in the status bar on launch under rare circumstances.
- (Win) Fixed an issue where uninstalling SketchUp disabled the ability to set Internet Explorer as your default browser, and may have disabled other programs’ defaults similarly.
- (Win) Addressed several issues surrounding invalid file locations in Preferences.
- Fixed an issue where you could see a CFileException 3 error if the “Models” file location was invalid and auto-save kicked off. A new, more descriptive error message is now displayed.
- Fixed an issue in which you could see multiple CFileException 3 error messages within the same session even after updating the “Models” location to a valid path.
- Added a new error message upon startup if any of the File locations in Preferences > Files are invalid.
- Invalid file locations are now displayed in red in Preferences > Files and a tooltip is displayed indicating an invalid path.
- (Win) Fixed an issue where the slider labels in the Choose Colors dialog could be incorrect after switching between picker types.
- (Win) Increased upload timeout of models to the 3D Warehouse.
- (Win) Replaced our expired signing certificate, then changed our digital signatures and timestamps to use SHA2/256, in accordance with Microsoft’s SHA1 deprecation announcement.
- (Win) Fixed an installer issue where the user would receive "An error occurred in PreBootstrapper. [could not create sketchup_install]" if an empty sketchup_install folder existed.
- (Mac - El Capitan) Fixed an issue where Toolbars containing dropdown arrows got misaligned when accessing the Customize Toolbar dialog.
- (Mac) Fixed an issue in which a component could no longer be replaced if it had the same name as another component.
- (Mac) Fixed the ‘SketchUp License Agreement’ link on the About SketchUp dialog.
- (Mac) Fixed an issue in which BugSplat technical support responses were not being displayed.
- (Mac) Fixed an issue where adding 3D Text created an “unreferenced fonts” validity error.
# LayOut and Style Builder Release Notes
* Fixes/Improvements:
- (Mac) Inserted pdfs will no longer be influenced by the image compression setting while exporting a document to pdf. Thus, your inserted pdf images will remain sharp even if you use heavy compression when exporting to pdf.
- We made changes to prevent drawing pattern fills for single-segmented lines. This may prevent some memory related crashes.
- (Win) The object snap button wasn’t toggling correctly. Often, pressing the object snap button would turn object snapping on or off but the icon artwork wouldn’t change to the correct state. We fixed this so that the icon artwork will always reflect the object snapping state.
- We added check marks in the Move to Layer context menu next to any layers that the selection set currently has entities on.
- (Win) We fixed an issue that would cause save to fail (and pop a dialog exclaiming as much) if the save event came immediately after a previous save.
- (Win) We fixed a crash that occurred while attempting to close LayOut immediately after starting (before the getting started dialog was visible).
- Fixed an issue where LayOut was incorrectly parsing negative lengths for specific formats such as feet and inches (e.g. -2’ 8”) and fractional (e.g. -15 1/2”) when entered in the VCB (Measurements toolbar).
# SketchUp API Release Notes
* Fixes/Improvements:
- (Mac) Fixed issue where custom image importers were not being honored.
- Fixed issue where Sketchup.require/load fails to indicate a load failure.
- Fixed issue where load_on_start was not being honored on extensions that were manually placed within the Plugins folder.
- Fixed issue where extensions fail to load / gave errors on launch if you have certain non-English characters in your Ruby path (which can occur if your Windows user name has certain non-English characters). If you’re still seeing an error with the Trimble Connect extension, please update that extension in the Extension Warehouse.
- Fixed issue where the Trimble Connect Extension fails to load due to an invalid byte sequence error. Users will need to update to SketchUp 2016 M1 and update the Trimble Connect Extension to version 1.1.1 (via the Extension Warehouse) to see this change.
- (Win) Fixed issue where the unchecking an Extension within the Extension dialog caused the list to scroll back to the top of the list.
- Fixed issue where unchecking an Extension within the Extensions dialog did not change the appearance of the checkbox.
- (Win) UI.preferences_pages() will now include "Extensions Policy"
- (Win) UI.show_preferences("Extensions Policy") will now open the correct property page.
- Fixed issue where the Extension Status dialog incorrectly stated a user was under the "Identified Extensions Only" policy.
- Updated dialog content for extensions that were installed but not loaded. The dialog now clearly states that the user must load the extension in order to use it.
- Fixed issue where an extra dialog appeared on startup when loading an uncertified extension that was previously certified.
- (Mac) Fixed issue where exporter progress dialog had the incorrect title of 'Import progress.
- Fixed issue where the language handler treated all double slashes (//) as comments.
- (Mac) Fixed issue where the 'Uncertified Extension detected' dialog did not appear when installing an extension through the Preferences dialog.
- Prevent the unsigned extension dialog from appearing unless the number of unsigned and loaded extensions has changed.
- On startup, only extensions.rb, langhandler.rb and sketchup.rb will be loaded from the Tools directory.
- On startup, users will be prompted if any of the following files have been modified since being digitally signed: extensions.rb, langhandler.rb and sketchup.rb.
- Modified the Ruby file loading priority to be .rbe, .rbs then .rb.
- (Win) Fixed issue where third party DLLs in Windows system folders could override the Ruby standard library DLLs.
- Fixed issue where extensions installed in the Plugins directory were not respecting the load_on_start value.
- Added Sketchup::RegionalSettings.decimal_separator
- Added Sketchup::RegionalSettings.list_separator
