Frequently Asked Questions

What version of SketchUp do I need?

Students should download and install SketchUp Pro. The courses use are mostly recorded in SketchUp 2021.
Previous versions are ok as well if you can not upgrade. SketchUp Make or the Web version are not recommended.

What is the best way to watch a course?

Dual monitors is ideal so you can watch the video on the secondary screen. A tablet or phone can also be used to stream the tutorials so you can devote your computer to just SketchUp and not have to flip back and forth on screen.

What else do I need to learn SketchUp?

A 3-button scroll wheel mouse is preferred over just using a trackpad for laptop users. Also, for Mac users, the magic mouse is not recommended since it doesn’t not have a scroll wheel.
