Additional information

System Requirements	Supported Versions The following versions of SketchUp are supported: SketchUp 2023 SketchUp 2024 SketchUp 2025 SketchUp 2022 and any version older than that are not supported. Windows 11, Windows 10 Software Requirements An internet connection both to install and authorize your subscription. Some features within SketchUp also require an internet connection. SketchUp requires .NET Framework version 4.5.2. For more information about the .NET framework see this troubleshooting article. Recommended Hardware Requirements A 2+ GHz processor. A graphics card that’s separate from the CPU, also known as a discrete graphics card. Most current generation AMD or NVIDIA cards on the market are considered discrete. At least 8GB of RAM. At least 6GB of available hard disk space. A modern GPU with at least 8GB VRAM. SketchUp’s classic renderer requires OpenGL 3.1 support. SketchUp’s performance relies on your graphics card driver and its ability to support OpenGL 3.1 or higher. A modern GPU with at least 32GB of VRAM when interacting with models utilizing materials with Physically Based Rendering texture maps, Ambient Occlusion, and Image Based Lighting. A 3-button, scroll-wheel mouse. Mac OS 15 (Sequoia), 14+ (Sonoma), 13+ (Ventura), 12+ (Monterey) Software Requirements An internet connection both to install and authorize your subscription. Some features within SketchUp also require an internet connection. QuickTime 5.0 and web browser for multimedia tutorials. Safari. Recommended Hardware Requirements 2.1+ GHz processor or current generation Apple M1 processor At least 8GB of RAM At least 6GB of available hard-disk space A modern GPU with at least 1GB of memory. SketchUp’s classic renderer requires OpenGL 3.1 support. A 3-button, scroll-wheel mouse SketchUp's New Graphics Engine Sketchup 2024 introduced a powerful new graphics engine that comes with some additional requirements: For MacOS, you must use version 12.3.1 or above. We recommend at least 13 and above for optimal performance. The following MacOS GPUs are unsupported: Intel HD Graphics 5000 Intel HD Graphics 6000 Intel Iris Graphics Intel Iris Graphics 6100 Intel Iris Pro Graphics The following Windows GPUs are unsupported: Intel HD Graphics 4×00 series For MacOS, the new renderer requires Metal 2 support. For more information on MacOS versions satisfying this requirement see Apple's Metal support page. For Windows, the new renderer requires DirectX12, feature level 11.0 support. See the Direct X diagnostic tool for more information. For more information on how to change between the new and classic graphics engine, see Graphics. Additional Compatibility Considerations SketchUp 2025 – With the release of SketchUp 2025 we have added support for MacOS 15.0 (Sequoia). SketchUp 2024 – With the release of SketchUp 2024 we have added support for MacOS 14.0 (Sonoma). SketchUp 2024 is not compatible with MacOS 11.6 or older. SketchUp 2023 – With the release of SketchUp 2023 we’ve removed support for MacOS 10.15 (Catalina). We have added support for MacOS 13.0 (Ventura). Unsupported Environments 32-Bit Operating Systems – SketchUp is optimized for x64 and Apple Silicon, and no longer available for Windows or MacOS in any 32-bit capacity. ARM64 processors are able to emulate x64 on Windows 11 in a VM capacity, but are not supported. MacOS Support – Current versions of SketchUp no longer support MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) or any versions previous. Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista – These versions of Windows are no longer supported and SketchUp no longer tests features or bugs on these older versions. While the software may still run properly, there may be some issues with features that haven’t been tested. Linux – A Linux version of SketchUp isn't available at this time. However, you may be interested to see how others have had success running SketchUp on Linux using Wine. Parallels/VMWare – Neither VMWare nor Parallels are supported environments. Remote Desktop Connections – Due to hardware restrictions in shared environments we can't reliably predict how SketchUp will perform. At this time SketchUp is not supported via a Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) on any platform. External Graphics Cards (eGPU) – SketchUp is untested and unsupported on systems with eGPUs attached. While it may work for some users, we will not provide support for SketchUp on a system with this configuration. Other Hardware/Software Considerations Virtual Environments – For subscribers using supported versions of SketchUp, using SketchUp in virtual environments is allowed as a product-specific exception to Trimble’s General Product Terms. Learn more about using SketchUp in virtual environments. 3D Mice – You can use Logitech 3D Motion Controllers from 3Dconnexion to create models in SketchUp. The 3Dconnexion website has more information about these controllers. High DPI Support – SketchUp is DPI aware and can adjust the sizes of Icons and drawing elements so they are sized correctly for High DPI screens. Icons are sized when SketchUp starts up. If you adjust your DPI or scaling (Microsoft Windows – but only up to 150%) you will need to restart SketchUp to see correctly sized Icons and drawing elements.
