In this Episode
This is the first time I’ve recorded a podcast with someone who has first hand experience with the development of Sketchup. I was very excited to put this episode together. Thanks Aidan!
Learn about how Aidan got started on the Sketchup team, as well as his thoughts on the new version of Sketchup. We talk about the new features, and the differences between Sketchup Make and Sketchup Pro.
Just a heads up, I had some technical difficulties at the beginning of the recording, so if you notice my voice sounding different, it’s because I had to do some post-editing to get the recording together. Of course, this had to happen to me while I was recording with Aidan, and not during a solo show. Just my luck!!
In this episode you’ll learn about
- How Aidan went from architecture, to software
- Aidan’s favorite new feature in Sketchup Pro
- How to improve shadows in Layout
- How to use the new Pattern Fill in Layout
- What is Sketchup Make?
- What has it been like at Sketchup since Trimble acquired it in 2012?
