• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello...

Hold on to your previous versions! Make sure you have a backup of any Previous Versions that you use.

The current & previous versions are web-oriented only unless you want the PRO version.
If you don't have a backup of the previous version that you are using, here is where you can obtain it at this time:

2016: http://dl.trimble.com/sketchup/2016/en/SketchUpMake-2016-1-1449-80430-en-x64.exe
2017: http://allpcworld.com/download-sketchup-pro-2017-with-plugin-pack-free/

OR if you have the 2014 version (2014 is the last version for Windows XP):

For SketchUp 8 (also 32-bit OS version):

Shaking my head in commiseration but no news here. ThePirateBay has taught these people to hold on to their software and Adobe has run with the whole thing, pretty sure in a few years everything of value will come with a monthly, or yearly subscription. They aren't stopping with the software either. For decades they have been trying to get us back to the whole console/mainframe mentality and along comes quantum computing to conveniently shove us into that paradigm. Anyons are just too dang expensive for the commoner to own, but since quantum entanglements are instantaneous, who cares if the computer you license space on is at the Microsoft headquarters, it's a growth model and you are losing money just doing the math, silly, you are computing more per hour than you ever were able to do owning that silly abacus, Lazarus, get with the future and start paying for the air you breathe!

Besides, browser based means I can model on my smartphone while flying the simulator, right?
 
Rick,...

It makes no difference on how or why,... it just is. Someone once said, "No reason to debate anything like this,... because no one can change it, at least no one that is not associated with it...". It is no different than trying to change the weather. I'm just passing on the news,...

But yes,... since it is browser based, anyone with access can create as such (at least that is what Trimble has said).

Thanks, Ed

I knew there was 1 somewhere,... just hadn't found it.
 
FWIW, I downloaded Sketchup Make 2017, Windows 64 Bit, from https://www.sketchup.com/download/all . It worked exactly as advertised:
If you choose to download SketchUp Make for a Trial Period, you will also be given access to SketchUp Pro functionality for the Trial Period for your evaluation purposes. Upon expiration of the Trial Period, the Software will automatically revert to SketchUp Make functionality only and the additional SketchUp Pro functionality will become inoperable.
Click to expand...
(Point 2.6.1 of theTerms and Conditions).

All I had to do after the 30 days was to confirm I will not use it for commercial purposes. In other words the latest Make version appears to stay free for non-commercial use.

Thanks Erik.....

As long as you download the previous version (prior to the current, 2018), you will be, ok.
 
Hello:

Many thanks to Doug for his efforts keeping these Sketchup download links updated. :)


FYI: There are confirmed reports that Sketchup 2017 broke the "Combine Textures" feature, and it was never fixed.

Although Sketchup 2017 (64-Bit) is slightly enhanced, some may prefer using Sketchup 2016 (64-Bit):

Although Sketchup 2017 (64-Bit) is slightly enhanced, some 32-Bit Windows users may prefer using Sketchup 2016 (32-Bit):
