Welcome to our forums! Please introduce yourself :)

Hello

J. Behe here. I am a Disabled Vet attempting to build my own home with an extremely low budget. So I’m doing the build including the design plans. So I started with Sketchup Free App and when I realized that I needed PRO to do the layouts for blueprints I upgraded to 2026 edition.

I just started using Sketchup a month ago and love it.

I have not been to 3DBasecamp

No Warehouse yet.

I don’t do emoji’s…

Hi

I am Ahmed and new to SketchUp, i started with SketchUp for web, i am using it to build furniture models and interior design as a hobby,

Recently, i got an education license (Pro version) to start turn my design to layout. I am planning to render these models using native SU or any free and lite render tool.

来学习。。菜鸟一个。

Hi, I’m Beckie. I’m an architect in CA thinking about starting my own architectural practice and am considering using SketchUp instead of Revit for creating our documentation. I’ve dabbled with the free SketchUp Make in the past but did not use it regularly. I’m currently learning SketchUp Pro through the tutorials in SketchUp Classroom and on YouTube.

I found this tool really great for woodworking; I sometimes do 3D printing and use Fusion I will try Sketchup next time too

First time I used it was in 2021 then now so I’m beginner but I like to learn new skills.
When I’m stuck on an issue I ask Youtube or google and until now always find a way to go further.

See you soon

Hello! I’m a newbie who is trying to learn this app super fast!!! it is challenging, but I have a critical project that I need to complete and I want to super impress my bosses!!!

I am not an architect… I am more of a graphic designer who uses Adobe Creative Cloud…which has completely different shortcuts (!!!) but I’m determined to learn Sketchup!!!

I recommend you to take some time to learn the basics here. There are a lot of people that get the wrong impression given how intuitive the software is and start to model without the necessary knowledge to be able to make an organized model. Also don’t use the 3D warehouse as if it’s a machine that gives you free food, a lot of people have corrupted their files or even lost everything because of bad models from the 3DWH.

Hi, this is Michael from Vienna Austria :slight_smile:

I’m using the free Web Version of SketchUp for private purpose only. Managed already to create a 3D-model of a room including some furniture out of the warehouse.

Reason for registering is a problem with sign-in (will be a separate post).

Thanks to all of you for your expertise!

Regards, Michael

Hi everyone, I’m Tara. I recently started learning SketchUp out of interest in architectural visualization. Still figuring out groups, components, and rendering plugins :sweat_smile: Excited to learn from this community.

Here’s my intro​:slightly_smiling_face:

Hello, Ahoy, aloha, hi. It’s me

  • **Who are you?My name is Gary and I am a retired Professional pilot and Educator for the past 60+ years. I used to do drafting in my younger days and am planning to do some light drafting as a side business (site and floor plans mainly). I will of course be using SketchUp Pro and Layout to prepare those plans. I am somewhere between a beginner and intermediate user. I am using a MacBook Pro with the M4 chip and two external monitors. I’m just getting started and will probably need lots of help. I look forward to reading all the posts about using and working with SketchUp Pro and Layout.

Bonjour, je suis utilisatrice de SketchUp pro 2025. je suis architecte d’intérieur sur la région Toulousaine. J’ai un problème actuellement avec un fichier qui ne veut pas s’ouvrir.

J’aurais besoin d’aide! SVP.

hello im dan

My name is Christopher. I am a construction contractor in the PNW US.

I’m using Sketchup to design a workshop/ additional living space in my back yard.

I started working with Sketchup around 20 years ago when Google released it. I’ve really only gotten serious about learning how to use it in a more professional manner in the last couple years.

My current set up is an M4pro MacMini 24gb ram running Sketchup 2026

Google acquired it from Last.

Greetings I am Lesley Phahledi i am Interior designer, I just started using sketchup recently(beginner), I was using chief architect to design, so it was difficult for me to do modern designs. I switched to sketchup because it can do modern designs and also a lot of accessories, fittings and furniture you can use when designing and also the rendering is on another level, so I am happy to be part of this community thanks.
