Hello,
I’ve just upgraded from SketchUp 2025 to 2026, but I don’t see the Sefaira plugin extension appear in SketchUp 2026 as it did in 2025. Would you please let me know whether Sefaira is still compatible with SketchUp 2026, or is only available for older versions?
Rgds,

I see the requirements page for Sefaira doesn’t list SketchUp 2026. @corney may have suggestions.
Hi @Hepi,
You will need to re-install the Sefaira extension into SketchUp 2026, following https://support.sefaira.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001624152-Section-2A-Accessing-Sefaira-with-the-SketchUp-Plugin, as it’s not an extension managed through extension warehouse.
I’ve also updated the extension listing page to correct the version support.

I have been trying to install Sefaira for Sketchup 2026.1 [26.1.185 according to the Release Notes] in Windows 11 via SCCM.
The link provided above allowed me to download the .msi and automate its installation.
I use the following command to
Install SketchUp 2025 [ CMD.exe /c “.\SketchUp-2025-0-660-288.exe” /silent ]
Install SketchUp 2026 [ CMD.exe /c “.\SketchUp-2026-1-189-46.exe” /silent ]
and this command to
Install Sefaira (current) [msiexec.exe /q ALLUSERS=2 /m MSIMAGFM /i “Sefaira_for_SketchUp.msi” ]
At the time of writing SketchUp 2026.1 is the most recent version.
If I try a clean install of Sefaira after Sketchup 2026.1, it pauses for a very very long time. It does not install the plug-in.
If I try a clean install of Sefaira after Sketchup 2025.0, it takes a surprising amount of time, but does complete.
If I have both installed, it will install to 2025, and if I run 2026 afterwards it asks if I would like to import the plugin (Sefaira).
In all cases, the default installation location is C:\Program Files\Sketchup\..
I have been unable to locate any documentation to tell Sketchup to import Sefaira via the windows command console (.rbz). If I run the Sefaira .MSI with UI with both 2025 & 2026 installed it will only pre-selects the 2025 version.
My thoughts at this point are regarding ver 26.0.429. Will this older version of SketchUp 2026 enable the automated .MSI installation of Sefaira?
FYI: The Sefaira .MSI has a ProductCode: {51A659CD-1AE6-428B-A5DD-97406169C827}
Kind Regards
Hi @AndrewStone
Sefaira does not officially support installations via SCCM or other management software.
By default the installer adds the plugin files in the "C:\Users {username}\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp {version}\SketchUp\Plugins" folder for the user that initiated the instalation.
As a workaround, you can install the latest version of the plugin manually on a test machine, copy the plugin files and folder and send them to the other users, the plugin can be moved to “C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp {version}\SketchUp\Plugins“in case “%appdata%” path is unavailable, “Plugins’“ directory might require manual creation.
