Hello everybody,
I’m happy to announce {that a} new desktop replace for SketchUp is on the market at the moment! You’ll be able to replace just by ‘Checking for updates’ or by downloading the newest model right here.
We all know that updating SketchUp and correctly establishing your workspace can take a while… personally, I believe this replace is price it, if just for the brand new Flip instrument. There are different substantial enhancements in SketchUp and LayOut this launch, however I do assume that 2023 would be the yr that flipping actually turned first-class modeling expertise in SketchUp.
A lot of additionally, you will have an interest to strive our new Revit Importer on Home windows. This function is on the market in our Studio subscription, however in case you work (and re-work) with Revit and SketchUp, will probably be price it so that you can see how a lot time this importer may prevent. To get going, simply drag/drop a .rvt file into SketchUp. (If you’re utilizing a Professional subscription, you’ll be prompted to activate a Studio trial. When that trial is over, you’ll be able to improve or select to proceed working together with your present subscription).
SketchUp 2023 additionally marks the debut of Overlays. In short, Overlays let SketchUp (and SketchUp extensions) draw data within the modeling window as you’re employed with different instruments. To get an concept of how this works, obtain ThomThom’s up to date the Strong Inspector2 extension: now you can simply shift right into a state of fixed strong monitoring. The SketchUp developer group stored on us about this function request, and I can’t wait to see a few of the enhancements that they (and we) implement with it.
In the event you run into issues updating, we’ll be conserving our eyes on the boards. Due to the Sages and different discussion board contributors who assist individuals customers work by way of the kinks on updates.
Pleased sketching,
Mark, on behalf of the SketchUp workforce
P.S. Okay, sure after all, 2023 can even be the yr that Heather and Lily took over SketchUp.

I’m migrating my extensions and organizing my area and I bumped into an issue.
Is it now not potential to repair the extension bars on the precise facet of sketchup? I’ve many extensions and I set up the extensions on all sides of sketchup.
One other difficulty I observed is that some extensions have greater icons, I don’t know if it’s an issue on the facet of sketchup or the developer of the extension. Notice: I all the time disable the choice “Use massive instrument buttons in preferences to realize desktop area.
Ensure you are downloading and putting in the newest model of extensions as an alternative of copying them over from an older model. Some extension authors should still must replace their extensions to be optimized for SU2023.

I perceive, I do know that many will nonetheless replace, it’s simply that the earlier model migrations I didn’t discover this downside, if it’s on the extension workers facet, no stress!
There have been adjustments within the toolbar dealing with for this model that didn’t occur in earlier variations.
Right here I can’t make any extension bar on the precise facet, subsequent to the “tray”

2023:
Works for me in 2023.
I hid the tray quickly whereas I positioned the toolbars.

one thing bizarre – if i choose a bunch (simply incorporates faces and edges) and the Part Choices from Window – i see an icon of a part i had touched (not edited) the day prior to this (in SU 2022)… i might count on (because it’s a bunch) to simply show a clean or another generic icon… 
fast replace – it seems to cache the final part you contact and choose the part choices on, after which choose a bunch. bizarre i by no means observed this earlier than.
