LayOut
LayOut is a 2D drawing and presentation tool from Trimble that was designed as the companion application to SketchUp, the 3D modelling software. LayOut lets users create construction documents, presentations and marketing materials by combining 2D drawings, images, text and dimensions with SketchUp 3D models. The tool supports layer management, viewports, dynamic linking to SketchUp files, and print-to-PDF workflows. LayOut was historically used by architects, construction professionals, interior designers and other professionals who needed to produce polished technical drawings alongside their 3D models.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe bundle ID references LayOut 2016, a version that was released a decade ago and has been obsoleted by several subsequent releases. Trimble has not updated LayOut 2016 since its original release and there is no native Apple Silicon build available for this older version. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), this Intel-only build will stop launching at that point. If you rely on LayOut for active work, contact Trimble or visit their SketchUp website to upgrade to a current version of LayOut — modern builds run natively on Apple Silicon and include significant workflow improvements, bug fixes and compatibility enhancements over 2016. If the upgrade cost or effort is a barrier, be aware you will need to transition your workflow to an alternative before September 2028.
