I decided to change to Fusion 360 with the free license for individual non-commercial use since I'm just a hobbiest. I also had Sketchup Make 2017 on that drive, but I've always had a bug with that version where the active file would just shutdown and disappear and I'd lose all of my work so I stayed with 2016 which was reliable. I thought I could simply take the hard drive out and access files on it from my new PC however when I tried launching Sketchup 2016, I received an "expired license" message and never got any further. I was recently in the same situation and lost access to Sketchup Make 2016 when my PC died. Surely not everyone who uses free Sketchup is no paying? What free programs are people using? Or is there more to Sketchup Free that I’m missing? I tried reaching out to Dave Richards whom I’ve talked Sketchup with before but he seems to have vanished? I read in a thread here from earlier in the year that one used to be able to download Make, but that’s apparently be done away with in place of the Shop version which requires a fee of $119 a year I believe.Īm i correct in that most all the other modeling software has a free trial period and then a fee is required to keep using it? I don’t want to spend the time figuring out how to use something then have to pay for it.Īn understand these companies need to make money but I’m a little PO’ed that after years and years of free Sketchup they’re now charging. How on earth do they think it’s a good idea to lump together commands like the circle tool, rectangular, etc into one button, then after clicking on it having to find the command you want. The UI is terrible - I couldn’t believe how few buttons there were and no options to add more like in the old downloaded versions. On my new computer this morning, I tried the web based version of Sketchup free and it was absolutely terrible. My old computer died and along with it went my version of downloaded Sketchup.
