Quick takeaways In Trimble’s 2026 survey of 1,800 contractors, technology integration, data sharing, and workforce challenges stood out as key areas for the year ahead. A 3D model gives every team a shared visual reference. A connected platform gets it to the people who need it. AI is most useful when it supports skilled people rather than replacing their judgment. The real challenge: information that doesn’t travel A construction project involves drawings, models, specificat

Modern architecture is no longer defined solely by appearance. Today, designers are expected to create spaces that not only look visually compelling, but also feel intuitive, comfortable, and functional for the people using them every day. A beautifully designed environment can still feel uncomfortable to move through, difficult to use, or visually exhausting over time. This is where ergonomics plays an increasingly important role in architectural and interior design. As arch

SketchUp AI introduces a set of tools designed to reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks and early-stage visualization. Rather than adding complexity, SketchUp AI works directly inside SketchUp, making it easier to explore ideas, generate 3D objects, and create quick visualizations without interrupting your process. Try SketchUp AI Anytime SketchUp AI is built directly into the existing toolbar and Default Tray, so there’s no need for additional setup or plugins, very acce

SketchUp is known for its intuitive modeling experience. But as projects become more detailed, even simple tasks, like editing materials, managing geometry, or refining forms, can start to take more time than expected. This is where extensions come in, helping you address common workflow bottlenecks in SketchUp. Rather than adding complexity, the right extensions help streamline repetitive processes, improve model quality, and support a more efficient workflow. With hundreds

Keeping drawings aligned with your model shouldn’t feel like a constant fix. For many architects, interior designers, and AEC professionals, SketchUp is where ideas take shape. But turning those ideas into clear, reliable documentation is often where projects slow down. When drawings fall out of sync, last-minute edits pile up, and miscommunication leads to delays. That’s where LayOut comes in! SketchUp’s built-in tool for turning 3D models into professional 2D documentation,
