This update fixes a crash introduced in 8.2.2 that could stop a
model from opening.

Thank you for sending crash reports. They pointed us straight at
this one, and we've turned the fix around as fast as we could. 8.2.3 Sep 4 SketchUp for iPad & iPhone — Version 8.2.2 — App Store "What's New"

Version 8.2.2 focuses on stability, reliability, and smooth interactions.

Critical Fixes: We fixed a data-loss scenario where failed Trimble Connect uploads could silently lose your work—your files are now protected, and error messages are clearer. Project duplication during autosave recovery is also resolved.

Smoother Panel & Measurement Interactions: Panel minimization now works as expected again. The Measurements box appears immediately when you open a model, has better spacing, and—crucially—your pencil taps no longer accidentally trigger the canvas when you're entering a dimension. Hardware keyboard users: space bar now works in measurements.

Input Refinement: Text cursor navigation with arrow keys now works in Entity Info, Material Details, Comments, and other text fields. Your typing feels native and responsive.

Better Export Experience: Export dialogs now fit all screen sizes and are scrollable. The AutoCAD export dialog explains why certain options are greyed out (they require parallel projection view).

Polish: Panel styling is now consistent, Scenes panel auto-scrolls to new scenes, Tags panel remembers your folder context, and button fonts scale with system text size settings.

Plus infrastructure improvements and localization updates for all supported languages. 8.2.2 Aug 31 Here’s what's new in SketchUp for iPad v8.2.1
We’ve resolved user reported issues with the newly redesigned measurements box, and fixed several bugs around app stability.

Bug Fixes
• Removed Apple Pencil scribble inputs in the measurements box after it caused issues selecting and editing values. This returns measurement editing to its previous behavior with the Apple Pencil
• Resolved a bug that prevented semicolons from being recognized properly in the measurements box for regions using semicolon numerical separators
• Resolved a bug that prevented commas from being recognized properly in the measurements box for regions using commas as decimal separators
• Fixed a crash affecting models with unused materials that occurred after saving. While saves were successful, subsequent crashes could happen at any time.

We hope these fixes help to stabilize and improve your modeling experience! Your feedback is invaluable, so please keep sharing your thoughts and suggestions on our community forum. http://forums.sketchup.com/c/SketchUp-for-iPad/ 8.2.1 Jun 1 Here’s what's new in SketchUp for iPad v8.2.0 (3285)
Get ready to model faster on your iPad with a super-sized, touch-friendly Measurements Box, improved DWG/DXF imports (say goodbye to post-import cleanup!), and collaboration so smooth you can share files with a single email. We also squashed bugs so your keyboard shortcuts and Live Components play nicely!

This release includes a fix for a bug that resulted in SketchUp files being inadvertently deleted from local storage. 6.5.8 02/21/2025 Here's what's new in v6.5.7 (2144)!
We've been hard at work squashing bugs to ensure a great app experience for you. With this update, the app should crash less, and files created by autosave and in Trimble Connect should be more reliable.

Trimble Connect (TC) and autosave fixes
• Fixed: Issue where canceling the upload process for a file on TC would cause the file to become local only, and opening that original file from the TC tab would result in opening an earlier file version.
• Fixed: Bug where the thumbnails of files stored on Trimble Connect did not update in the recent files list
• Fixed: Issue that caused an autosave file created from a file in TC to be saved as a local file. Now, autosave files created from TC files will upload the autosave version to TC after a user confirms that they want to proceed with using the autosave file.
• Fixed: Bug that would allow a user to create an invalid file in TC by creating a new file from the TC tab, then immediately navigating away from and back to the tab. This invalid file would cause loading issues in the TC tab and recent files list.

Other Bug fixes
• Fixed: Layout bug on iPhone Viewer where some elements do not show up in Model Info panel when first expanded.
• Fixed: Issue where the Styles panel would stop scrolling correctly with multiple subsections open.
• Fixed: Bug that allowed a deleted tag to be applied to objects
• Fixed: Issue where Apple Pencil settings did were not respected in Markup mode, forcing ‘draw with finger’ mode to always be active. Now, markups respect this setting both if set in the pencil settings while in a markup, and what is set from the iOS pencil settings.
• Fixed: An issue where after creating a section plan, user keyboard shortcuts would stop working until the model was closed and reopened
• Fixed: Bug where the app would crash when signing in or out.

Minor Improvements
• New: We’ve provided 'Section Cut' display as a shortcut button. This can be added to both the radial menu and shortcuts bar now.

We hope you love these new features and improvements! Your feedback is invaluable, so please keep sharing your thoughts and suggestions on our community forum. http://forums.sketchup.com/c/SketchUp-for-iPad/ Happy modeling! 6.5.6 12/16/2024 We're thrilled to announce the release of SketchUp for iPad version 6.5.5! This update brings exciting improvements, and essential bug fixes to enhance your modeling experience. Let's explore what's new in this version!

IMPROVEMENTS
Named Section Planes in Outliner
• We’ve brought section plane naming, selection, and editing support to the Outliner! While SketchUp for iPad has supported section planes created on the Desktop for a while, we’re now bringing the ability to see, name, and edit section planes to the Outliner on iPad, helping keep your model organized how you like it.

Graphics Settings Tab
• You can now find graphics settings for the app in the graphics tab. This is where you’ll find settings for SketchUp’s graphics engine and texture handling, making it easier to manage and optimize your visual settings alongside your

BUG FIXES
• We Fixed several bugs with Live Components where users would see endless loading or failure entirely when trying to edit a live component through the entity info panel. SketchUp for iPad’s Live Component connection service has been improved and stabilized to prevent these bugs.
• We fixed an issue where undocking the measurements box would cause any values typed into the input box to be overwritten.
• We resolved an issue that would prevent a user from using the divide (/) and multiply (x) modifiers when copy/moving or copy/rotating an object.
• We fixed a bug where a SketchUp model without a thumbnail preview would be unable to publish to Trimble Connect. The app will now auto-generate a thumbnail if one is missing.
• We fixed a bug where if a user selected multiple tags at once in the Tags panel and then deleted them, the panel would become unresponsive.

We’ve listened to your feedback! We’ve tackled issues to make working with live components smoother and more stable. We hope this helps in your work and lets you unlock the power of configurable components! Additionally, we know how crucial the measurements box is for inputting and editing move, copy, and rotated selections. We’ve worked hard to maintain and improve these workflows based on your input.

Your input helps us continually improve SketchUp for iPad, so please keep sharing your thoughts with us on our community forum. Thank you for using SketchUp for iPad! Happy designing! 6.5.2 06/18/2024 What's new in v6.5 – Generate 3D models of existing spaces and start designing immediately with Scan-to-Design. Create more realistic visuals in-app with Ambient Occlusion. Plus, customize keyboard shortcuts, share links for real-time viewing, and enjoy improvements to Diffusion!

Scan-to-Design – Use LiDAR scanning in SketchUp to quickly generate 3D models of existing spaces, providing an excellent starting point for design and collaboration. Scan-to-Design harnesses technology from Canvas and Apple RoomPlan, offering the following 3D outputs:

• Canvas scan output will generate a textured 3D model in which the ‘room surfaces’ (walls, ceiling, floor) are drawn as planes and/or triangulated meshes that can be easily edited using SketchUp's modeling tools. The rest of the space (furnishings, etc) will be drawn as a textured, triangulated mesh.
• Apple's RoomPlan technology creates a simplified model of the space comprised of orthogonal SketchUp edges and faces, including cut-outs for windows and doors.

Models are intelligently organized, so you can toggle the visibility of different outputs using either the Tags panel or the Outliner.

Customize Scan-to-Design preferences to dial in the best output for your workflow. Access these settings in Preferences > Scan-to-Design.

Requirements: Scan-to-Design requires a LiDAR-enabled iPad and iOS17 or higher.

Omnibar – Search for tools and features using industry-standard terms, and Omnibar will recommend tools in SketchUp that match. Omnibar boosts productivity by letting you set custom keyboard shortcuts for any of SketchUp's tools or commands.

Ambient Occlusion is a beautiful shading effect that adds a sense of depth to your SketchUp models. You’ll find the settings for Ambient Occlusion in the Styles panel under Face settings.

Link Sharing = Live Viewing. Shared links now offer the recipients of those links the ability to join a real-time viewing session and see changes that you're making to the model in real-time. Viewers have the option to navigate the SketchUp model, but when you activate a scene, they'll be pulled back to see the same thing that you're seeing.

Diffusion Improvements
• Maintain Seed: After selecting a Diffusion-generated image, toggling Maintain Seed allows you to iterate on the chosen image instead of creating an entirely new image.
• Negative prompt: Use the Negative Prompt field to specify what you do not want to see in Diffusion-generated images.

Bug Fixes
We fixed a bug that was causing SketchUp's cursor within the modeling viewport to be offset from the location of the pencil, touch, and mouse input.
