Like many computer programs, SketchUp requires
certain hardware and software specifications in order to install and
run. These are basic requirements, though, so you may want to use our
recommended suggestions to improve performance. Sketchup supports the last three revisions of the software, with the release of Sketchup 2023 versions 2020 and earlier are marked discontinued. This means that some on-line services such as the Extension Warehouse and Trimble Connect will not be available.
