LayOut
LayOut is a 2D drafting and presentation tool developed by SketchUp. It is used for creating technical drawings, construction documents, architectural presentations, and design layouts — typically in conjunction with SketchUp 3D models, which can be embedded, linked and updated within LayOut documents. The application is popular among architects, landscape designers, engineers and construction professionals who need to produce client-ready presentation sheets and construction documentation from 3D design work. LayOut documents can include dimensions, annotations, text, raster images and vector graphics arranged across multiple pages with customisable page sizes and templates.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionLayOut has been part of the SketchUp product suite for many years. The bundle ID suggests this is the 2015 release, which is now over a decade old. Given that no search results are available and the significant time that has passed, it is likely this is an older, potentially abandoned version. SketchUp has continued to release and update newer versions of LayOut (it is included with SketchUp Pro and SketchUp Premium), and the current modern builds of SketchUp have native Apple Silicon support. If you are running LayOut 2015, you should verify whether you have a current SketchUp licence and update to the latest version of SketchUp — this will give you a native Apple Silicon build that will continue to work after Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you do not have an active licence or prefer to stay with LayOut 2015, contact Trimble (SketchUp's parent company) to confirm whether a native build of this older version was ever released; if not, the Intel-only build will stop launching once macOS 28 ships.
