What was the first meaningful project you made with SketchUp for Web?
Now, it wasn’t my first project, per se, but one meaningful one that comes to mind was designing a replacement part for my friend’s vacuum that we 3D printed (and saved him from having to buy a $120 part).
I was away with no desktop Sketchup available so I used the Web version to show a contactor how to solve some door trim details.
I can’t say I’ve EVER done anything meaningful use any web version of SketchUp, but I can’t help but to brag that I think I was the first user to try it on an Android tablet!
It was at the Steamboat Springs SketchUp conference back in 2016 (I think!). I was in the audience when it was first announced as a beta test - and supposedly worked only on desktops (windows and mac). So I whipped out my tablet and tried it - and it worked!
I don’t recall exactly what I created - something a bit more complex than a simple box with no openings - but I do remember saving it then later, with my laptop, accessing it on the web and downloading it - where it worked in SketchUp Pro 2016!
I redesigned some 3D printed robot parts for the local FIRST Robotics team during a team meeting at the junior high school where they have their shop. It was nice to be able to do that on one of the school supplied computers so I could hand off the .stl files so printing could start.

For this project I started out with working in SketchUp 8 (on a very old laptop) and also through later SketchUp versions in an imported dwg- drawing of mine of our “house to build/finish” to see how tiling of the ground floor throughout the house should be positioned. In the mean time I also had to wait for the actual tiles batch to arrive to get the exact dimensiones.
Via ‘Combine Textures’ in the Web Version I created a quite realistic texture that I could move around in the imported dwg to get the best practical position. The web version was/is in Google Chrome on my simple chromebook at location for practical reasons:
