We’re excited to announce that SketchUp 2026.2 is now available! Download the update now, or, if you already have SketchUp open, simply go to Help > Check for Update.
In this release we have some exciting new features like the Analysis Hub integrated directly into SketchUp’s tools! There’s also valuable new features that improve your everyday workflows when collaborating with your team including better collaboration invites for pending collaborators, smoother commenting and improvements to multi-editor project scenarios. You’ll also find lots of new LayOut improvements, like an all new Graphics engine, Clipping masks for Groups and Scaled Groups as well as plenty of bug fixes. All of the important details can be found in the 2026.2 Release Notes and on the SketchUp.com | What’s New page.
I was able to use Sketchup 2026 after opening the same file on Sketchup 2025 first, i had to open it as a read only file then save it with another name so every time I had to open sketchup for work or after it crashes I had to do the same all over again, and of course having the file saved two times but with different names, now I can´t even open sketchup 2026 at all after the update.
Now when I right click in the model space SketchUp goes “Not Responding” and the Ruby console keeps writing the same line over and over in an infinite loop.
Renaming the Plugins folder so the extensions don’t load gets around the lock-up. The only extensions that were updated with/since the SketchUp update are the ones that ship with the installer.
Edit: I discovered the problem and solved it. About an hour before updating to 2026.2 I had updated the Sketchucation Extension Store to 5.0.7. The combination of the two created the problem. Rolled back to 5.0.6 and there’s no problem. (5.0.7 was temporarily removed due to another bug)
The windows defender thing is known about - it’s in the release notes.
It usually take a while for windows defender to know that something is legit or not
Both of those crashes were when Dynamic Components had loaded. That may mean a problem with that extension, or with the next extension that was going to load. By the time it crashed, 68 other extensions had loaded. It’s hard to tell if one of those caused the issue for the later extensions.
Turns out that now not even SketchUp 2025 is working, I don’t know why this kind of stuff don’t happen on Mac, I’m forced to use windows because of Revit importer and Scan Essentials. Now I’m formatting everything and installing windows again, I’M gonna try ReviOS to get rid of all the telemetry of windows.
But I really hope that those features are added to MacoOS so i can stop suffering with windows and go full time macOS again.
A minute ago, I managed to download the SketchUp-2026-2-242-76.dmg file. But I’m using Windows with the Edge browser. I don’t know how it’s on Mac but maybe try a different browser or clear your browser cache.
You are right. Tried with Windows computer with Chrome yield me SketchUp-2026-2-242-76.dmg. The Brave browser on Mac kept giving me SketchUp-2026-1-188-46.dmg. Same internet connection. This is kinda weird.
Well, the urban legend that “Mac just works” isn’t always true… But I don’t want a Mac vs. Windows duel here, because it’s possible that your Brave browser isn’t “brave” enough
The same link that can map to different downloads depending on OS/browser is cause for concern from a security standpoint. Someone from Trimble should really look into this.
@Sea it’s a caching issue, clearing local cache on brave would fix this for you.
Having said that, it looks to me that the max age is set very high on these download endpoints, I’ll flag it internally to try to get the website team to have a look.
A couple of us saw the problem in Safari on Mac, but it was solved by clearing cache. I’m not sure why Safari, or Brave, might have stuck to seeing the old Mac link, but did see the new Windows link, until cache was cleared.
