Decide for yourself that this will represent a wall or a floor.Īlthough SketchUp is not parametric by nature, there are some extensions, like Medeek Wall, you can install in SketchUp Pro that introduce parametric features, and include several object-specific tools. Of course, you can group it and label it, and assign it a tag that you name “wall”.īut my point is, you’re not confined to working within certain tools for certain types of objects that the SketchUp team has decided you should be creating. There is no “Wall tool”, or “Floor tool”, but you’re free to draw a rectangle and extrude it and hereby declare that this extruded rectangle shall now be known as a “WALL”. That’s sort of the beauty behind SketchUp. SketchUp is, at its core, a surface polygon modeler, meaning, everything is either a face or an edge. What you’ll find in all of the SketchUp 3D modeling platforms is an easy-to-use, fun 3D modeling program. You can start using it right now, at The SketchUp foundation To recap, the current free version of SketchUp is called SketchUp Free, which is a web-based version of SketchUp that runs right in your browser. 😥 You’ll learn more about the differences between all the various SketchUp products below. Most notably, you can only use extensions on the desktop versions of SketchUp. There are several differences between the desktop and browser versions of SketchUp. You can google for how to disable SIP if removing the code signature isn’t enough to get it working.To replace SketchUp Make, Trimble launched an entirely web-based SketchUp platform on which you’ll find SketchUp Free. (I didn’t test SketchUp with SIP enabled). One (maybe?) important detail is that I have System Integrity Protection (SIP) disabled on my machine. I’m not sure - but I’m glad to have SketchUp working again! My guess is that the code signing certificate format changed in one of the newer macOS versions. With all that done, I was able to launch SketchUp under Rosetta! (if SketchUp is installed in a different folder on your machine, you’ll have to change these paths to match)
