LayOut
LayOut is a technical drawing and documentation tool from Trimble (the maker of SketchUp). It is designed to turn 3D SketchUp models into presentation-ready 2D construction documents, shop drawings, and design presentations. Users place views of their models on pages, add dimensions, annotations, text callouts, and export the final document as PDF or print. LayOut is widely used by architects, engineers, contractors, and product designers who need to produce client-ready technical drawings and specifications from 3D models. It integrates tightly with SketchUp and is typically purchased as part of a SketchUp subscription or bundled with SketchUp Pro.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe found no public information about a native Apple Silicon build of LayOut. The bundle ID includes "2020", suggesting this is an older release — Trimble has released several newer versions of SketchUp and LayOut in the intervening years. Check whether you are still running the 2020 release and, if so, update SketchUp to the latest version through your subscription account at sketchup.com or the Mac App Store. The current release of both SketchUp and LayOut may already include native Apple Silicon support, though this is not confirmed without access to current release notes. If you are already on the latest version and it reports as Intel-only, contact Trimble support directly to confirm whether native Apple Silicon support is available. With the September 2028 removal of Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 approaching, it is worth checking your SketchUp subscription status soon to ensure you have a clear upgrade path.
