I have just downloaded the new SU 2024 and can’t see where I can save it for someone else to look at in 2020 version. Is this possible?

Trimble isn’t supporting it, anyway. There are extensions such as Eneroth Open Newer Version that can open them. So as Paul shows, it’s still possible to open them.

No. It’s not possible. See: [image] 2024 update won't save as older versions? Pro SketchUp and LayOut in 2024 are now versionless, meaning they’re backward compatible with any supported versions (2022, 2023, 2024). No need to ‘Save as’ — .SKP created/saved in 2024 can be …

Mmmm… I thought not. So am I right is saying, unless someone has a paid subscription they can’t open a file created in a newer version.?

via the Ruby console… [image] 2024 update won't save as older versions? Pro I would like to clarify a few things: The option to save to an older version is not completely removed (yet?). The Ruby API still allows you to save to any earlier version .skp file. In theory…

This code worked fine for me in the Rubi Console box, just hit enter and it is in the folder (not created by me, but found in another topic): m = Sketchup.active_model m.save_copy(m.path.delete_suffix(‘.skp’)<<“_v2017.skp”, Sketchup::Model::VERSION_2017)

Thank you, your answer helped me a lot, I just corrected with Copilot . I wanted to save tfrom 2025 to 2020, and the command I used and worked was: m = Sketchup.active_model m.save_copy(m.path.delete_suffix(“.skp”) + “_v2020.skp”, Sketchup::Model::VERSION_2020)
