SketchUp is a 3D modeling and design application developed by Trimble, widely used by architects, engineers, designers, hobbyists, and construction professionals to create and visualize buildings, furniture, landscapes, and other 3D objects. The application offers tools for drawing, modeling, rendering, and collaboration, with seamless integration to SketchUp's cloud-based Trimble Connect platform.

1 suggestionSketchUp has shipped native Apple Silicon builds since version 2022.0 (released in 2022), and all currently supported versions—2024, 2025, and 2026—include native arm64 support. If you are running an older Intel build on a Mac with an Apple Silicon processor, update SketchUp to the latest available version. The easiest path is to launch SketchUp, go to Help → Check for Updates, and install the native build. Alternatively, visit the SketchUp download page directly and re-download the installer—on Apple Silicon Macs, you will automatically receive the native build. Note that SketchUp only supports versions 2023 and newer; if you are on SketchUp 2020 or earlier, you will need to upgrade to at least SketchUp 2024 to get Apple Silicon support and continued security and feature updates.
