Bugs, Feedback & Improvements

View Controls

Change between common views, switch rendering style, and turn on or off hidden geometry in a few clicks.

Drawing Tools

SketchUp's native drawing tools available without the toolbars. Great for a pen or tablet where keyboard access might not be ideal.

Global texture palette

Create a global recolorable texture palette for use across all your SketchUp files.

Natural texture recoloring

Recolor your textures in 2 clicks with greatly improved color shifting compared to SketchUp native recoloring.
