Bug fixes and improvements

Fillet / Chamfer for 3D objects (with planer surfaces)

Now you’ll be able to use the fillet/chamfer tool on 3D objects. Note that for now, it will work only on 3D objects with planer (flat) surfaces. Support for 3D surfaces will be available soon.

Updated Help Videos

We updated all of our help videos. The help videos can be accessed from the “Learn” tab (scroll down to see them) and from the Help Widget in the editor.

Bug fixes and improvements. In addition, here are the significant updates in 2.8.2:

Conflicted Copies
In case we find a conflict in versions of the file, we will automatically create a backup version. This way, we will make sure that your changes will always be saved and secured.

Lifetime Plan
We now offer a one-time payment option. Now you can get uMake without a subscription.

Fillet / Chamfer

2D SHAPES ONLY: Now you’ll be able to round or bevel sharp edges using the Fillet / Chamfer tool.

• Support for 3D objects is coming soon

Accurate Drawing

Using the ‘Precision’ tool, you’ll be able to define the dimensions of an object while sketching it.

SketchUp 2019

uMake now supports 2019 SketchUp files.

Bug Fixes

We fixed many bugs and issues you’ve brought to our attention. Most importantly bugs related to normals of surfaces.

Faster selection

We improved the way you can select objects. Now when you triple tap on an object, it will select all its neighboring curves and surfaces. A second triple tap will extend the selection even further to other neighboring curves and surfaces.

Faster Undo / Redo

Double tap with two fingers to Undo; Double tap with three fingers to Redo.

New on-boarding experience

We’re enhancing our on-boarding experience. If you have suggestions for improvements or ideas for new tutorials, please let us know!

This new exciting update is all about 3D surfaces. You can now sketch directly on 3D surfaces and create holes! This feature has been in the works for some time and we’re very excited to be able to provide it. Additionally, we’re introducing a new tab that will help you discover new features and tutorials.


Sketching on a 3D surface with Precision tool

Now you’re able to sketch with the precision tool on 3D surfaces. To do that, select the surface you want to draw on and choose “Sketch on Surface”. For now, you won’t be able to edit the curves after you finished sketching.


Creating holes on a 3D surface

When you sketch closed shapes on 3D surfaces, you will be able to erase these closed surfaces and creating holes.


“For You” Tab

We added a new tab that would make it easier for you to find out about new tutorials, features, updates and more! Your feedback is always important to us.

This time we focused on adding a fundamental feature:

Pivot point of a selected object(s)

This feature would allow more precise commands of moving, rotating and scaling objects. Tap once on the pivot point (blue dot in the center of the object) and then drag it to change its location. Tap “Done” when finished.

Bug fixes & Improvements

As always, we’re working on adding more features based on your requests, so stay tuned!

Robust Sketch Planes

Now you can edit, lock and save sketch planes with ease. This will give you the freedom to create more complex designs using more customized sketch planes.
