Is there something like Google SketchUp freeware?

Yes, there is a free version of SketchUp, which is now known as SketchUp Free. SketchUp Free is a web-based version of the software that allows users to create 3D models directly in a web browser without the need for installation. It's part of Trimble's efforts to make 3D modeling accessible to a broader audience.

Here are some key features of SketchUp Free:

1. Accessibility:

   • SketchUp Free is accessible through a web browser, making it platform-independent. Users can access and use the software on various devices.

2. Core 3D Modeling Tools:

   • While SketchUp Free does not have all the advanced features found in the paid version (SketchUp Pro), it includes core 3D modeling tools for creating basic 3D models.

3. 3D Warehouse Integration:

   • Users can access the 3D Warehouse, an online repository of user-created 3D models, directly from SketchUp Free. This allows users to import and incorporate existing models into their projects.

4. Collaboration Features:

   • SketchUp Free supports collaboration, allowing users to share their models with others for viewing and editing.

5. File Storage and Sharing:

   • Users can save their models to Trimble Connect, a cloud-based storage and collaboration platform, for easy access and sharing.

SketchUp Free is suitable for individuals who are new to 3D modeling or those who need basic modeling capabilities for personal or educational projects. For users with more advanced needs or professionals, SketchUp Pro offers additional features and is available through a subscription plan.

To access SketchUp Free, you can visit the official SketchUp website and use the web-based version directly in your browser. Keep in mind that software details and features may evolve, so it's advisable to check the official SketchUp website for the most up-to-date information.
