It’s great to have that flexibility.” – George Decherney, expert woodworker I can quickly capture my woodworking projects while sitting on the couch with my wife. With iPad, I can take my work wherever I go. I build everything from furniture pieces to intricate bookcases. All of the menus are dropdowns, so it saves a ton of space.” – Luke Whitelock, art director for top feature films, a software engineer by trade, but I use SketchUp specifically for my woodworking projects. Plus, I don’t lose any modeling space with the way the UI has been developed. It’s saved me a lot of design time – about half a day’s work. Now, I can do it right there with the Director on my iPad. Before SketchUp for iPad, I would hand sketch on sets and jot down dimensions on a piece of paper. Now, I use SketchUp on my iPad and take my work wherever I go – the train, on set, etc. “I use SketchUp every day in the film industry. I enjoy SketchUp for iPad because it’s like a digital piece of paper it’s so much more flexible than bringing your laptop out in the field.” – Guy Wydouw an Architect and SketchUp extension developer from architectuurburo wydouw bvba They love seeing the model on an iPad versus paper because it’s more detailed. It helps me communicate more efficiently with our general contractors. I can now zoom in on specific sections and take more precise measurements using Apple Pencil. SketchUp for iPad has many more viewing capabilities that I need when going to a job site. We even take our models out in the field to help the contractors during the build phase. “We use SketchUp to design all of our architecture projects. It’s very fluid and fast.” – João Queiroz e Lima, an Architect from Casca Typically, contractors have SketchUp on a laptop, and I have to sit down with them and help them understand how things are supposed to be built. Lastly, it has been valuable to use SketchUp for iPad on construction sites. This is useful in meetings with clients, contractors, collaborators, and consultants. I also use Markup mode with Apple Pencil to sketch directly on top of 3D models.

During design development, it’s useful because I can go back and forth between iPad and desktop. It helps me get ideas out digitally instead of sketching on paper during the conceptual design phase.

“I have been using SketchUp for iPad a few different ways. Here’s what some of the beta users had to say: We’re going to pause here and let you read for yourself a ? sampling of the inbound we’ve received from the SketchUp-verse. Other notable callouts include easily reviewing and marking up designs from team members, studying the details of a design, and cutting down the back-and-forth time it takes to go from RFI to an on-site solution. Our lucky betas fancy everything from exploring designs on a job site to being able to jot down early-stage concepts quickly.

We knew sketching on an iPad would be a game-changer for various workflows, so we were eager to get the inside scoop from several of our SketchUp for iPad beta users.
