Hi folks, I’ve recently decided to up my 3D modelling game, and have been using SU Make 2017. However, these days there’s a message saying “SketchUp 2017 Make isn’t getting any younger”, which has me thinking…how long do they plan on this lasting? SketchUp Free is a bit too simplified for what I d…

I think SketchUp Make 2017 will probably still be useful for decades as long as you have a copy, but I’m guessing their website will stop offering it at some point in the next 5 years unfortunately. This is just speculation. I think the market is going through a shaky time, in most sectors, because…

People are still using SketchUp 8 and that was released in 2010. I have SketchUp 3 installed on my Windows 10 computer and it still works fine. At some point you will likely lose the ability to download models and components directly into SketchUp from the 3D Warehouse but you’ll still be able to u…

It will work as long as the 2 major operating systems can run it. One day (years from now) Windows and Mac OS will update and it will no longer work. Sure there might be crutches like Windows compatibility mode but honestly that is a gamble. If Apple decides to switch their macbooks over to arm bas…

I guess it will last as long as your operating system and hardware can run it . I have not tried to execute any really old programs much but would guess that compatibility is less an issue today than it was 20 years ago. I would guess you could easily keep using it for the next 20 years. When Ske…

[image] ChrisStewart: For example: Auto Geolocation is no longer supported in 2016 version that I use. This is because Google changed their terms of service for the Maps and Earth APIs making it impossible for SketchUp to continue using their services. [image] ChrisStewart: so maybe next…

If it is not supported then how did I just upload a 2016 model yesterday that is now available in version 2016 format?

See: [image] 3D Warehouse Downloads for 2016 models 3D Warehouse No, we generally only support 3 version of SketchUp. 2016 also uses older versions of native browsers, and unfortunately in the world we live in, it’s no longer acceptable or secure to run older sw that has…

They may say that but obviously it is still supported. They may not be backward converting new version models to 2016 anymore though and 2014 version is the earliest I can find.

Item from a random search. Even older components are no longer available for SU2016. [Screenshot%20-%204_4_2019%20%2C%207_53_04%20AM] As I said, there are numerous threads on this already with plenty of 2016 users reporting that they can’t download directly from the 3D Warehouse. There are a few …

Obviously you can never download a version that is newer than the version you are using so Yes there would be many people using 2016 who would report not being able to download some models from 3d warehouse. [Clip]
