FlexTools Ready for SketchUp 2022!
FlexTools responsive modelling plugin for SketchUp is now compatible with SketchUp 2022. This is great news for all our FlexTools customers wanting to take advantage of the latest SketchUp enhancements. Great work Daria, Yoni & Max and the whole FlexTools Team. Fast out of the gate with this update!
Push the new 'Search Sketchup' feature to a new level with the new FlexTools update! The developers have also added new flex features, improvements and fixes. See the highlights below.
'Search Sketchup' for Components
Sketchup 2022 brings a new and exciting search feature that allows you to look up and activate commands by typing.
Hit SHIFT+S and the search bar comes up.
This is really helpful because you can now type 'window' or 'door' and all the relevant flex components will show up ready for placement.
You can also use search to quickly find any component from your Component Finder generated toolbars!
Hide the Component Finder Banner
Following customer requests, from now on Pro customers can hide the ComponentFinder banner, saving that precious screen real estate.
Note that the banner may pop up every now and then to highlight special updates and promotions.
Open and Close 2D and 3D Separately
For all doors and window you can now open and close the 2D plan representations separately from the 3D, having more flexibility in presenting your projects.
Click on Arcs to Change Open Positions
Clicking on door and casement window arcs will loop through 30°,45°,90°,135°,180° changing the open position for both 2D and 3D.
Note that in double doors the panels open separately. Each to its own position.
FlexTools Improvements and Fixes
The ramp and slope flex components have been updated as well.
See all the improvements and bug fixes in the developer's release notes.
