Will I need any plugin to make this in Sketchup?

SketchUp
21

my graphic card is ATI Mobility Utility Radeon HD3650
my procesor: T9400 max 2,53GHz FSB1066MHz 6Mb L2

You must know that sometimes SketchUp has trouble working with Radeon cards. If you experience any trouble, let us know, so we can work it out.

And about the processor, to be honest Iā€™m not too familiar with T9400 but 2.53GHz is good. SketchUp uses only a single core, regardless of how many cores you have, so the higher your clockspeed the better it is.

a high clock speed doesnā€™t help if the CPU is lame by designā€¦ as here.

6 GB isnā€™t great but near the lower boundary.

Yes you will need plugins, but how many and which will depend on how much time you dedicate to learning how the software works.

Hm, I see. I believe best choice would be some relatively new-generation iX processors then?

Well, yes, best would be to start with 8 at least but I have only 4 GB RAM and I somehow managed to stay on the surface for some years. Notice the past tense here, I said managedā€¦ No more, haha.

for a new system a high-clocked intel Core i5/7 of the 4th gen. (or higher) is the choice.

discontinued, cannot be installed with recent SU versionsā€¦ besides fiddling around (see SCF for a how-to).
