After watching this webinar you will be able to  begin working on your project in SketchUp right from the start. There are a few different ways to bring your project into 3D space:
  • Trace a hand-drawn image for an easy (and thus common) way to create a floorplan.
  • Have a set of actual plans? Import a floor plan in CAD, image or PDF. 
  • No floor plans to work with? Use Match Photo to create your model from a real-world photo. 
After that we will cover how to:
Create multiple design options;
Collaborate with Trimble Connect;
Add custom styles to your design;
Create stunning 2D drawings and branded presentation documents (LayOut)
Present your ideas with SketchUp Viewer
and finally Use Trimble Connect visualizer

Alongside SketchUp Pro 2021, our new early-stage research tool, PreDesign is launching. This tool provides designers of buildings, outside spaces, and master plans with the information they need to properly factor climate insights into their initial concepts, getting designs started in the right direction before the modelling process begins. 
PreDesign improves design outcomes—projects will be better informed and designers will have more information to influence preliminary solutions. We think this a new way to ‘start’ architectural design projects in SketchUp. 
We’re excited to introduce a new type of configurable object for SketchUp: 
Live Components. These components will be available for all users to find, download and configure live in SketchUp! 
Users can 
access live components by opening 3D Warehouse and navigating to our collection of models—hosted by SketchUp Labs, a live community Beta program. Simply choose an object and insert it into your SketchUp model. When you double-click to edit a Live Component, the ‘Configure Live Component’ dialog will allow you to control the components ‘parameters’. Unlike Dynamic Components, Live Components redraw themselves as you make adjustments.

Trimble Connect is a tool for collaboration of work projects between different teams and stages of implementation.
All information about the project is gathered in one place, reviewing the project and subtracting the size and leaving a note is extremely easy.
Changes to the project are made with the web version of SketchUp, saving changes is done directly in the project folder.
Trimble connect has a web and desktop version. In our webinar, we will look at both.
The desktop version has a built-in visualizer, we will import a project model and we will look at the control and visualization options.!

Twinmotion is one of the easiest software for presenting in an excellent manner all of your exterior and interior projects.
Developed by Epic games and Unreal engine, Twinmotion combines an intuitive icon-driven interface with the power of Unreal engine. The magic happens in real-time, therefore you can create an image or a video in the blink of an eye.
Twinmotion works seamlessly with files from SketchUp, 3DS Max, Cinema 4D, Archicad, Rhino and Revit.
During this webinar we will follow the transfer of a project from SketchUp to Twinmotion. We will put materials in the scene and have a closer look at the control options.

And that is no surprise, considering how V-Ray paints with light, allowing the artist to express their views way beyond just sketches and so-so representations.
In this webinar you will find out more about:
The User Interface Update - When it comes to new things in V-Ray Next, one of the first noticeable ones is the update in the User Interface. While with V-Ray 3.4, which was the previous major release, Chaosgroup revolutionized the whole interface and completely changed everything from it antecessor, with V-Ray Next the changes are more suitable, but yet – quite noticeable.
Nvidia Denoiser - Another addition to a familiar workflow is also the Nvidia Denoiser implemented in V-Ray Next. Denoising has been a part of V-Ray since the 3.4 version and it allows users to have better results in much less time, just by reducing the noise amount.
V-Ray Cloud - A major release coming for the whole V-Ray family is the V-Ray Cloud. Some of you might already be familiar with this one since the Beta has been roaming around for quite some time.

Section planes allow you to create "cut-away" renders of scenes without having to change the (potentially complex) underlying geometry, using oriented planes to slice away obstructing sections from view.
This is related to cut-away diagrams classically used in technical illustration.
In this SketchUp webinar record you can learn how to create 2D drawing from 3D model, to manage your section planes in a quick way and to export an image of your model displaying section cut effects.
