If you have a current SketchUp subscription, you have access to the latest version here.Licensing & Access How can I access SketchUp 2021? But you can read more about this and where we're going with Live Components here. Live components protect the author's intellectual property as the logic for the object lives in materia, where dynamic components include all the author's IP so anyone can study it.Live components are more constructible and built on more accurate modeling practices, where dynamic components rely on object scaling and stretching which can result in odd compositions.Live components' modeling capabilities result in cleaner, better geometry and object hierarchy in the object, whereas dynamic components need to have all their “assets” nested inside them, making for heavy objects. Live components are actively developed and accessed via the web, where dynamic components are not.How are they different from dynamic components? Read more about them in the ‘What's New?' section of our release notes.

Using Live Components with the 2021 SketchUp update allows for greater project scalability and benefits a wide range of use cases including architectural configuration, interior design, as-built modeling, space planning, and rapid iterations of concept or aesthetic. Live components are configurable objects that re-draw themselves in real-time.SketchUp Labs is a new program which lets us test features before they are fully ready.We haven't introduced tag filtering in LayOut's SketchUp Model panel (yet!).Tag Filtering Where is the tag filtering in LayOut? In the near term, you can correct this problem by selecting the tags within the affected tag folder and turning off their visibility manually. This is a small issue with Tag Folder visibility that we are aware of and will fix soon.Why am I seeing objects from hidden tag folders in a section cut? If you want to create template models with Tag Folders, you can do this by opening those files directly (as opposed to inserting them into existing models). If you import a model with tag folders into an existing SketchUp model, you will only be importing tags from your imported model.

But, if you need to select multiple tags that live in separate folders, you can do this using common naming prefixes across multiple folders, and then using tag filtering to select commonly named tags across multiple folders.Ĭan import tag folders from one model into another?

At this time, the same tag cannot live in the same folder.

Yes! To add existing tags to folders, select the tags you want to organize and click the ‘Add Tag Folder' button at the top of the Tags panel.Ĭan I put the same tags in different folders?.
