Improved Import of PBR Appearance Information for glTF and USDZ Format and Support for SketchUp 2024 (2025 SP3)

You can achieve better results when importing Physically Based Rendering (PBR) materials from glTF and USDZ files to SOLIDWORKS Visualize. This support provides more detailed and realistic appearances.

Benefits: Imported models look more realistic with improved material details. You can also open SketchUp 2024 files directly in SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
