I have an 8th grade student that loves the free sketchup web product. I know that I can get a student pro license for 55$ a year which is great but he familiar with the web interface so I was thinking maybe shop would be better but its like $120 a year. I will download a pro trial and have him test it out but I am wondering if can I use a sketchup pro license for sketchup shop if I need to so Ican save a little money? Thanks in advance for any guidance
