That's one of a few examples where we think the existing press/hold keyboard interaction patterns are important to preserve.

Notably, we have not changed the ability to temporarily lock an inference by pressing and holding the Shift key. To start, you're now able pre-lock an inference direction before the first click with the Line, Tape Measure and Move tools. In this release, we are applying this pattern to other tools as appropriate. Many SketchUp tools - like Rotate, Rectangle, Circle - already feature the ability to 'pre-lock' an inference direction or drawing plane. Changing tools resets a modified tool to its default state, as will toggling off a modifier or hitting a tool's shortcut key. Modifiers will also persist across when you hit Escape to cancel out of an operation. Eraser's tool mode toggles let you hide edges across camera views without repeatedly re-triggering a modifier. without repeatedly hitting modifier keys.

This means being able to make multiple copies of objects with Move or being able to hide edges with Eraser across view changes. We are also persisting modifier tool states across multiple operations. This means fewer press-and-hold modifier interactions (for tools like Scale), as well as - we hope - more predictable modeling outcomes and more efficient usage across multiple tools. Likely the most explicit change you will notice is that more tool 'modes' behave as toggles that can be turned on and off by tapping a key. Read on to learn about the patterns we are trying to establish, as well as the impact on individual tools. Our goal is to improve the consistency of how modeling works from tool to tool, to improve the efficiency of individual tool workflows, and to improve the learnability of SketchUp's most nuanced behaviors. While we sometimes shy away from changes that may disrupt your modeling experience, this release features changes to modeling behavior meant to standardize usage patterns across core SketchUp tools. In any given release, we strive to make SketchUp more reliable, efficient, and useful.
