Get free Google sketchup icons in iOS, Material, Windows and other design styles for web, mobile, and graphic design projects. These free images are pixel perfect to fit your design and available in both PNG and vector. Download icons in all formats or edit them for your designs.

New to SketchUp for Desktop are redesigned icons and custom grips called Snaps that help you easily connect groups or components in predetermined ways. Anyone who wants to speed up their documentation process will appreciate the performance enhancements to LayOut, including custom rendering controls. Plus, we've added a style feature that will expand your (color) horizons and developed a few all-around tool upgrades.

If i remember correctly last time (long time ago!) when i debugged this, the menu item did appear, just in a totally random place on my other screen, and I had to drag it manually to dock it within the sketchup ui.

V-Ray includes a toolbar with easy shortcuts to some of the most commonly used V-Ray components. By default, the toolbar consists of four floating toolbars that can be docked where needed in the SketchUp interface. The V-Ray Toolbars can be easily placed to either a horizontal or vertical position by pulling at the top end of each toolbar.

The V-Ray toolbar provides the functions listed below. Note that all buttons check if V-Ray (or respectively V-Ray Interactive) is the current renderer, and if not, prompt you to set the renderer to V-Ray. When you click on the V-Ray (or respectively V-Ray Interactive) button in the toolbar, the icon background changes color. The render buttons can be clicked again to stop the rendering process.

Since SketchUp uses polygons, rectangles, and 2D lines to build forms, it is not well-suited to construct organic materials: you will have a tough time constructing any figure with curved, irregular lines. Consider using a different CAD program to model landscapes, foliage, or characters.

The select tool is the first item you will encounter on the SketchUp toolbar and is one of the most frequently use. It's on the far-left corner of the toolbar, and has the appearance of a black mouse cursor. This tool is used to select a single item or a set of items in your model, which is necessary to move, scale, or rotate it.

First select the tool's icon on the toolbar. Once your cursor has turned into a black arrow, you can then select an object in your model and manipulate it. Your model will be highlighted in blue when selected. You can also select multiple items by dragging a box around your desired items.

Once you have done so, press and hold Ctrl on your keyboard. A +/- symbol will appear next to your cursor. You can now double click on additional items to 'add' them to your selection. All selected items will be highlighted in blue.

The line tool allows you to draw 2 dimensional shapes. Go to the toolbar and select the pencil shaped icon. Next to this icon is an arrow which, when pressed, provides two dropdown items: 'Line' and 'Freehand.' With 'line' you can draw a straight arc between two set points. With 'freehand' you draw a custom, non-straight line between multiple points.

To create a traditional line, first select the line icon from the toolbar. Once you have done so, take your cursor and right click once on the virtual plane. After you created the initial plot point, pull your line out to the desired length by moving your cursor. When you are happy with the length, right click again to create the second and final plot point. Through the line tool you could create unique shapes, which will add to the beauty and individuality of your model.

Unlike the traditional lines, freehand lines are not straight, as they are made using many plot points. When drawing freehand lines, you must continually hold down the right mouse button, until you are content with the length and shape of your line. When you are happy with your line, release the right mouse button and your line will be complete. Freehand lines enable you to use your mouse like a traditional pencil, to create designs and even write.

To begin using this tool, first hover your cursor over the icon. You will notice an arrow next to it, and when you click on this arrow a drop-down option will appear. Here you can choose what type of shape you want to draw (circle, rectangle, or polygon). Once you have chosen the shape, you could then begin drawing. To do this, press down on the right mouse button and begin moving your cursor. As you move your cursor, your shape will grow and move in direction. When you are happy with your shape, release the right mouse button and your shape will be finished.

To convert your 2D shapes into 3D, use the push/pull tool. You will find this tool in the SketchUp toolbar as an icon of a cube with a red arrow in front of it. To use this tool, click on the icon once. When you have done so, your cursor should take on the appearance of the icon, indicating that you are in the push/pull mode. Move your cursor over the shape, and when it becomes highlighted in blue click and hold the right mouse button. You could then move your cursor up and down to turn your shape into a 3D object. When you are done, let go of the right mouse button and you will have effectively created your first 3D model.

To change the position of your model, use the rotate tool. This tool will enable you to rotate your 3D object 180 degrees from any angle. To use the tool, click on the icon that has two red arrows forming a circle. Once you click the icon, a 360-degree protractor will appear on your cursor. Place the protractor on one of the corners of your model and right click on that corner. SketchUp will use the indicated corner as the point of rotation. You can then use your cursor to reposition your object to the desired angle.
As with the move tool, you must highlight the entire model, using the select tool, to rotate the object. If you do not do so, the rotate tool will only identify one shape and your model will become distorted.

To change the size of your model, use the scale tool. Click on the icon shaped as a rectangle with a red arrow crossing it. When you do so, a red square will show up next to your cursor, indicating that you are in the scale mode. Hover your cursor over your model, and click on the shape you want to scale. If you want to scale your entire model you must first use the select tool to highlight the object. Once you have highlighted your shapes/model, right click once on your object and a yellow scale will appear. By clicking on the green points of this scale, you can adjust the size of your model.

After you finished your model, bring it to life by texturing it with the paint bucket tool. This tool will allow you to paint your model using SketchUp textures and make your own textures. When you click on the paint bucket icon the default tray will appear on the right side of your screen. The default tray contains all the SketchUp textures and is where you can edit the materials to make unique textures.

What makes SketchUp unique, is its ability to integrate 3D modeling into geographic based projects. You can do this by geo-referencing your model in SketchUp and export it into Google Earth. This will allow you to see your model in its natural environment and better understand how it fits into the context of the greater world.

The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

Tools in this set create, open, save, import, or export data to or from your model. Some have toolbar icons; some do not. These functions are also located the OpenStudio Plug-in menu.IconsFunctionality

This tool closes your current OpenStudio Model and creates a new one. On a Mac it creates an empty model and you have to go under the menu item Extentions/OpenStudio User Scripts/On-Demand Template Generators/Space Type and Construction Set Wizard to add template items like constructions, schedules, and space types. On a PC the template dialog will be available once and you can choose templates. If you want to add additional template types you must go to the Extentions/OpenStudio User Scripts/On-Demand Template Generators/Space Type and Construction Set Wizard.

Saves your OpenStudio Model as an OpenStudio file (.osm). If you save your OSM file and then save your SketchUp Model, the SketchUp Model will maintain a link to the OSM. If you close and reopen your linked SketchUp file (.skp), it will reload the content from the OSM file. All the energy model content is saved in the OSM file, not in the SketchUp file.

The benefit of having a link to a SketchUp file is to maintain a relationship with non-OpenStudio content that you may have in your model, such as a base plan or base model. A linked SketchUp file also has saved scenes, drawing styles, and section cut location. When saving your OpenStudio Model, make sure your filename ends with the ".osm" extension. If it does not have that extension, OpenStudio will not open the file. If you have files without this extension, you can manually rename them; they should open.

When saving your OpenStudio Model, make sure your filename ends with the ".osm" extension. If it does not have this extension, OpenStudio will not open the file. If you have files without this extension, you can manually rename them; they should open.

This feature functions similarly to the Import OpenStudio Model tool. If you import an entire IDF Model, your current OpenStudio Model is closed and a new one is created from your IDF. When you import and then save an IDF Model, you will be prompted to save it as an OSM file. If you want to keep it as an IDF, you can choose the Export EnergyPlus Input Data File tool instead of the Save OpenStudio Model tool. If you have added geometry or other objects, such as interior partitions that are unique to an OpenStudio Model, you will lose or alter those objects when you export back to an IDF.
