SketchUp 2013 was released this week and represents a slight improvement over past versions. The most notable changes, however, are that Trimble has furthered their effort in creatnig an identity for the product after they acquired SketchUp from Google in 2012. The new free version of SketchUp is called SketchUp Make. Beyond more intuitive feature icons, the software has mainly added an Extension Warehouse to provide simple discover and installation of plugins for extending what SketchUp can do (see earlier post for the SketchUp plugins that we recommend). A list of all the additional features are available at the SketchUp web site.
