Better compatibility with Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows through upgraded IFC 4 data mapping.
The standout upgrade in the 24.0.484 release is the integration of a brand-new graphics engine leveraging modern APIs (like DirectX 12 and Metal).
The program now utilizes modern GPU capabilities, drastically reducing processor bottlenecks when panning, orbiting, or zooming through massive cityscapes. SketchUp 2024 24.0.484 -x64- Multilingual. Acti...

AO styles are supported in SketchUp Desktop, iPad, and LayOut, ensuring visual consistency across 2D and 3D documentation. Workflow and Interoperability Updates WHAT'S NEW in SketchUp 2024? (BIG RELEASE)
This paper evaluates the official SketchUp 2024 release (build 24.0.484), a 64-bit multilingual CAD and 3D modeling platform. Unlike incremental updates, version 24.0.484 introduces foundational changes to the inference engine, a revised Revit import/export pipeline ( .rvt ), and environment-agnostic UI localization. We assess its stability, GPU-accelerated rasterization, and the practical implications of the transition from classic extensions to the Extension Warehouse 2.0 API.

Zooming and panning through multi-page document sets is noticeably faster.
