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.

Tags provide additional control on object visibility, regardless of where objects are nested. 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. All of these products provide an excellent 3D modeling platform, whether you are modeling for 3D printing , architectural design, landscape design, interior design, woodworking, film, gaming, or just visualizing some remodeling ideas in your own home.

And while the fundamental features of each SketchUp platform feel familiar, there are some distinct differences between the three current SketchUp platforms, and the recently retired SketchUp Make platform. Part of what makes the different versions of SketchUp so confusing is that there are really two distinctions to be made with each SketchUp name:.

Sometimes, the software name and the marketing name are one and the same, which makes it easy. You still with me?

Hopefully, I can clear things up for you. Keep in mind, SketchUp Make has been discontinued, but you can still download the last version, SketchUp Make , as of the date this article was published. 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.

I will be adding SketchUp for iPad to this chart once it is out of beta and publicly released. In addition to the three main SketchUp modeling programs, there are some other secondary SketchUp products such as model viewers, a style editor, a 2D documentation program, and some custom versions of SketchUp for educators. SketchUp Free runs inside your browser, so you need an internet connection, and any device that runs a modern browser will technically work.

SketchUp Free is licensed for personal use only. All the tools pretty much behave the same as desktop SketchUp, but they have slightly different icons. All the native keyboard shortcuts work in SketchUp Free too. You can download my SketchUp Free keyboard shortcut guide here. This enables you to use SketchUp wherever you are, from any computer, as long as you have an internet connection.

Trimble Connect is also linked to the SketchUp Viewer mobile app Android , iPhone , so you can pull up any of your models right on your phone and view them. Comparing feature to feature, SketchUp Free did see a net reduction in features when compared to its predecessor, SketchUp Make. Since extensions offer the potential to radically enhance SketchUp, this is a huge blow to the free version of SketchUp. You can use the Outliner to view the group and component hierarchy in your model. You can create custom materials and custom styles , and the watermark is removed from your models.

The other value add is that you get unlimited storage on Trimble Connect, which will allow you to conveniently access all your work wherever you are. Unfortunately, you also cannot use extensions in SketchUp Shop.

So they actually removed features from their free version, in order to artificially create more value with their paid version. Usually, with software, we see companies add features to premium products instead of taking features away from their free products that have been there for years. I think Trimble realized that there were a lot of people using SketchUp Make commercially you know who you are, shame on you!

Style builder lets you create custom sketchy edge styles. You can view available extensions on the Extension Warehouse , and some additional extensions available on the Sketchucation plugin store. LayOut is the 2D counterpart to SketchUp. It allows you to create viewports of your SketchUp models, lay them out on paper, and add dimensions and annotations to them.

LayOut is used to create complete sets of construction documents. The biggest benefit to LayOut is that the model remains dynamically linked to your SketchUp model, so any updates to the model are quickly updated in LayOut. Hopefully, that clears up some of the confusion over the different SketchUp platforms and how they are sold? Or did I make it worse? This is super helpful.
