SketchUp 2027 release and designPH compatibilty

SketchUp 2027 has been released! This new version brings a huge amount of changes to the user interface on both Windows and Mac and some great new features.

There are some compatibility issues we are aware of and there may need to be some changes to the way some designPH features work, so please bear with us whilst we continue to prepare the next updates.

NEW RELEASE: designPH 3.0

Version 3.0 delivers faster workflows, improved analysis and greater design flexibility.

IMPORTANT! SketchUp 2026.2 and designPH compatibility

We have received several reports of a bug that seems to have occurred since the SketchUp 2026.2 update and causes severe problems for designPH. We have now developed a workaround for the issue.
