In this review, we delve into SketchUp 2025's latest features, evaluating their impact on design workflows. While the update introduces enhancements like HDRI Environments and Photoreal Materials, users relying on advanced rendering tools such as V-Ray may find these additions less impactful. Notably, the Apply Tags to Scenes feature streamlines model management, and the Extension Migrator simplifies the upgrade process. However, the absence of significant updates to the Diffusion extension and scene management tools may leave some users wanting more. Overall, SketchUp 2025 offers modest improvements without necessitating major changes to existing workflows.
