We’re now persisting modifier tool states across multiple operations. With more modifiers behaving as toggles, we think it’s easier to switch the tool state before you complete a given operation. This means fewer press-and-hold modifier interactions for tools and more predictable modelling outcomes.įor any tool, you can identify what modifiers are available in the Status Bar (at the bottom of the screen) and confirm the current modified state of the tool by examining the cursor or on-screen modelling behaviour. The most explicit change is that more tool modifiers behave as toggles that can be turned on and off by tapping a key. Here are the highlights: Modifier Toggles And, with a modifier, Push/Pull can create new faces when you extrude.


For example, SketchUp’s Move tool can also work as a Copy tool. In SketchUp 2021.1, the way that ten core tools work in modifier states is changing. Changes to SketchUp’s modelling modifiers The goal of this latest release is to improve the consistency of how modelling works from tool to tool, increase workflow efficiency, and build on the learnability of SketchUp. We’re happy to announce some more updates in SketchUp Pro.
