(I will be adding SketchUp for iPad to this chart once it is out of beta and publicly released.) (Side Note: SketchUp Viewer for desktop and SketchUp Viewer for mobile are technically licensed separately, but basically I just wanted to show that they are available to anyone, no matter which version of SketchUp you own.)

#SKETCHUP PRO 2017 TRIAL SOFTWARE#
(Keep in mind, SketchUp Make has been discontinued, but you can still download the last version, SketchUp Make 2017, as of the date this article was published.) SketchUp software name vs marketing name Software/Service Included The following chart shows you which software is included under each marketed name. (As you may have noticed, they’ve made things even more confusing by using the marketing name SketchUp Pro, while also naming the software SketchUp Pro.) You still with me? Hopefully, I can clear things up for you. You actually get multiple programs when you purchase what’s marketed as “SketchUp Pro”. However, there are times when the marketing name actually refers to a bundle of software, and that’s where things get confusing.įor example, when you subscribe to “SketchUp Pro” at $299/yr, the software you actually receive is SketchUp Pro, Style Builder, and LayOut, along with several other apps and services. Sometimes, the software name and the marketing name are one and the same, which makes it easy.
Combine all this with an intuitive inference system and universal measurement input, and you get incredible speed, flexibility, and accuracy that allows you to get creative, without having the tool get in your way. Tags provide additional control on object visibility, regardless of where objects are nested. The simplicity behind being able to organize faces and edges into an infinite number of nested groups and components gives you control over how you want to organize your model.

Decide for yourself that this will represent a wall or a floor.Īlthough SketchUp is not parametric by nature, there are some extensions, like Medeek Wall, you can install in SketchUp Pro that introduce parametric features, and include several object-specific tools. Of course, you can group it and label it, and assign it a tag that you name “wall”.īut my point is, you’re not confined to working within certain tools for certain types of objects that the SketchUp team has decided you should be creating.
#SKETCHUP PRO 2017 TRIAL FREE#
There is no “Wall tool”, or “Floor tool”, but you’re free to draw a rectangle and extrude it and hereby declare that this extruded rectangle shall now be known as a “WALL”.
That’s sort of the beauty behind SketchUp. SketchUp is, at its core, a surface polygon modeler, meaning, everything is either a face or an edge. What you’ll find in all of the SketchUp 3D modeling platforms is an easy-to-use, fun 3D modeling program. You can start using it right now, at The SketchUp foundation To recap, the current free version of SketchUp is called SketchUp Free, which is a web-based version of SketchUp that runs right in your browser. 😥 You’ll learn more about the differences between all the various SketchUp products below. Most notably, you can only use extensions on the desktop versions of SketchUp.
There are several differences between the desktop and browser versions of SketchUp.
To replace SketchUp Make, Trimble launched an entirely web-based SketchUp platform on which you’ll find SketchUp Free.
