Trimble Releases SketchUp 2027 with Procedures and Revit Integration

Trimble has launched SketchUp 2027, introducing a non-destructive modeling framework named Procedures alongside enhanced interoperability with Revit to connect early conceptual modeling with detailed documentation. According to Trimble, the Procedures system is designed to allow designers to explore iterations and respond to design revisions without rebuilding models. The new SketchUp Importer for Revit recognizes component tags and classes, mapping them to native Revit categories for downstream editing, scheduling, and documentation. Additional updates in SketchUp 2027 include Section Hatch Patterns for distinguishing cut materials such as brick, concrete, and insulation, a paperless 1:1 scale canvas in LayOut, and the Trimble Connect Design Hub (Labs) for centralizing design communications and 3D models.

Key takeaways

• Trimble introduced Procedures in SketchUp 2027 to enable non-destructive modeling without rebuilding geometry during revisions.
• The new SketchUp Importer for Revit converts tagged components and classes into native Revit categories for scheduling and documentation.
• SketchUp 2027 adds Section Hatch Patterns for cut materials, while LayOut introduces a paperless canvas for 1:1 scale 2D drafting.
• Trimble Connect Design Hub (Labs) was introduced to centralize project communications, file management, and 3D models.
