About this version of SketchUp
Google SketchUp 7 is a fully-functional program that you can use to build 3D models. It includes a subset of the features of SketchUp Pro 7, the professional version of our software.
If you find SketchUp as indispensable as others have, we hope you’ll return to our site and check out the additional features of Google SketchUp Pro 7. Happy modeling!
My neighbors created Sketchup here in Boulder, Colorado. Most of www.nachi.org/gallery was created with Sketchup. Google bought them out a couple years ago.
We use it at the college, and it is a great program that can not only be used for drawing but cad drawing rendering images. There are a number of other better ones, but certainly not at the price.
I personally use a professional “licensed” version about $500 which is still 10 to 20 times cheaper than the high-end programs.
The “trial” is free and then IF you want to continue to use their program it is $495.00 dollars.
