SketchUpPro2019发布后，很多SketchUp爱好者拒绝更新，一部分原因是配套渲染器和配套插件跟不上，另外一部分原因是SketchUp UI真的很陈旧……这个问题不单单中国的SketchUp爱好者有意见，其实全球的SketchUp爱好者也是有一些意见的，下面是官网TommyK发布的一个建议性文章。

TommyK：之前我已经说过了，SketchUp UI真的很陈旧，SketchUp 2019没有做任何改变。 由于过去的其他变化，有些东西已经变得有些多余。 我真的希望SketchUp团队能够对SketchUp 2020的UI系统进行完整的根和分支审查精心设计的UI旨在提高工作效率。 以下是一些建议并指出问题：

1. Scenes

The Scenes tab is the quickest way to switch from scene to scene. It serves an important purpose, and the Scenes pane is generally ok for more advanced scene control. My scenes are getting cluttered up big time with the number I need. There are simple ways to improve this: Managing scenes in SU 27

2. Layers

I have so many. I am sick of navigating through them. Just copy what Vectorworks does and group layers by prefixes (characters preceeded with hyphen). Simples. More discussion here: Make SU 2018 the “organised” update 10

3. Component Browser

This pane really needs attention. So many issues:

• get rid of the “search 3D warehouse” – it is obsolete with the new browser

• search bar should filter components in model, and search the local library instead of looking up 3D warehouse

• have the ability to show the selected component in the view in the Component Browser panel. At present, if I want to edit certain

4. Search, auto complete, etc. on all lists

When you have large complex models, scenes, layers, components, groups, materials – they all can get difficult to find. I love how the layers autocomplete in the Entity Info pane – it’s time to apply that idea to all panes that list things – scenes, layers, components etc. This might take the form of a search box at the top of each pane, which would filter the list of objects that appear according to the search term.

5. Entities Info

Yes, this has had some additional attributes added, which is good. However, given that SketchUp is used in so many ways by so many different kids of people, would it not make sense to make attributes that appear on this pane customisable? I made a plugin some time ago that attempted to add this functionality, but I think it should be a core feature.

6. Fog pane

Ability to be more accurate with the fog distances please. Perhaps with actual numbers representing the fine distances of fog? Take a leaf out of Eneroth’s Fog tool. I think for a start it should be two adjustable nodes on ONE line – more intuitive than what is at present.

7. Materials pane

This is such a pain on the Mac. No search function, therefore no point in naming materials, which is actually a really good housekeeping thing to do on large models.

8. Component Options / Attributes / DC”

So I never have these panes open because it doesn’t work well with my other panes. I would probably use it a lot more if they were better integrated.

9. Outliner

I never really got into the habit of using this pane as it cause lag and crashes – is this generally fixed now? The principle of searching and filtering using this pane is actually what I want for all other panes!

Please, please get Vixay, your UX guy, on this please! I know he’s been working on the other Sketchup products, but we really need him on the desktop app! Sketchup could be so much more productive if a little more time was spent on redesigning the UI.
