Before we dissect the features, let’s clarify the nomenclature. SketchUp Pro 2024 represents the annual major release, while v24.0.594 is the specific maintenance build number. Unlike earlier 2024 builds (such as v24.0.483 or v24.0.512), version .594 focuses on:

If you are currently running an older 2024 build, updating to v24.0.594 is akin to getting a software tune-up without changing the core interface.

As of this build, the following extensions are fully compatible and leverage new features:

Problem: SketchUp crashes when enabling Section Planes. Solution: Update your GPU drivers. Version 24.0.594 is sensitive to outdated Intel Iris or NVIDIA drivers. Also, try Extensions → Eneroth Section Planes Fix if the issue persists.

Problem: The new Terrain Stamp tool is grayed out. Solution: Ensure you have double-clicked into the Terrain Group. The stamp tool does not work on raw faces or ungrouped geometry.

Problem: Exported glTF files have missing textures. Solution: Use File → Export → glTF (not "Export 3D Model"). Ensure all textures are in a single folder and use relative paths. Maximum texture resolution for glTF is 4096x4096.

Problem: Slow startup (over 60 seconds). Solution: Clear the cache: Delete the SketchUp 2024 folder in %AppData%\SketchUp (Windows) or ~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2024 (macOS), then restart.

The most groundbreaking addition is the Environment and Terrain toolset, which replaces the older Sandbox tools.

While the initial 2024 release introduced major features, version 24.0.594 refines them. Below is the complete breakdown.

The update also delivers incremental but impactful improvements to the core toolset:
