SketchUp
SketchUp is a professional 3D modelling and design application from Trimble, widely used by architects, engineers, designers, and hobbyists for creating everything from architectural plans and furniture designs to landscape concepts and product prototypes. It combines ease of use with powerful modelling tools including push-pull extrusion, component management, LayOut for 2D documentation, and integration with rendering engines like V-Ray. The app supports industry-standard file formats and offers both free (SketchUp Free) and subscription-based (SketchUp Pro and Studio) tiers. SketchUp is actively maintained with annual releases adding new features and compatibility improvements.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSketchUp has shipped native Apple Silicon builds since version 2022.0 (released in 2022). The bundle ID you have installed (com.sketchup.SketchUp.2015) indicates a much older 2015-era version, which is no longer supported by Trimble — only SketchUp 2023 and newer receive updates and security patches. You should upgrade to SketchUp 2025 or the latest available version. Updating will bring you to a native Universal Binary build that runs efficiently on M-series Macs without Rosetta translation, along with years of new features, bug fixes and performance improvements. Visit sketchup.com or the Mac App Store to download the current version; if you have a Pro or Studio subscription, your license will transfer automatically.
