Sketchup Viewer Msi Download
Velia Blacksmith
The viewer is useful but I get many clients who would like to take a measurement whilst viewing.
Perhaps this could be added to the next version?
Anyone else out there that feels it would be useful?
Hi,after update the new version of sketchup viewer for ios 16 i found out there is no measure tool anymore. and can you add more interact on click that can open or close the door( ex for door and window) so the vewers can simulate the opening too?
No layer control in the viewer means that my model is dead in Dropbox purgatory! No SnagIt .jpgs etc. 2nd floor plan only 2d is shown. Maybe SketchUp Maker will allow me to view the layers? Any advice greatly appreciated!

Hi there!
I have never used the SketchUp program before and need to use the viewer for an assignment to view a model we have been given. I am trying to view the model with a vertical section cut. The sketchup file has both sections available but I cant figure out how to change the view of the section cut from the horizontal to vertical. I did it the other day pressing random buttons when playing around and, of course, cant find it again.
thanks for your time.
The issue with Tags, which become Layers in Trimble Connect - is that Trimble Connect is converting that SketchUp model into a TrimbBIM file in order to view it in the TC Viewer. This is how you can also take Revit and IFC files and view them in the TC viewer. But if I downloaded that SKP file and opened it wih SketchUp, the Tag and folders will still be there.
With the usBIM .SKP file viewer, you have a free tool that can manage any type of file, even large complex ones, regardless of the software with which it was produced; everything works using a simple browser, from any device (PC, tablet or smartphone) and with any operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.).
Modelo functions entirely within a standard internet browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox enabling users to upload their 3D data into a fast, intuitive viewer perfect for presenting to clients or sharing with colleagues for feedback. To achieve this, the expert graphics team of the company developed a custom compression and rendering engine to render models up to 45 times faster than the native design software they were created in. This speed allows architects to navigate through huge models fluidly while creating precise client presentations and discussing internal comments and markups in real-time.
Cancel your subscription because you "cannot open a file"? Curious though why one would want to look at Sketchup drawings on a phone? Why don't you try on another device/computer...using an app to open the zip file. Not sure how? Google zip files, zip apps, or "how do I open a zip file"? Then after you unzip the file, try using the viewer. This is not complicated, just a few minutes of time.
I just installed the SketchUp viewer on my Android phone and opened a SketchUp model file with no problem. The one I opened was quite large (much larger than the SketchUp files included with the Digital plans) and a message popped up suggesting that I might want to close other apps but I ignored that and it works fine.
Every now and then you may wish to present the 3d model that you have been working on to your client. There are quite a lot of model viewers around that will load a Sketchup model and give you some basic controls. Which one is the best is really a matter of preference though I prefer the official Sketchup ones because they take best advantage of any scenes or styles that I might have saved inside my model.
The official Sketchup viewer is multi-platform meaning you can get a version for both Mac and PC desktop computers, there is a tablet and phone version of the viewer that supports iOS and Android devices, and there also appears to be compatibility with the Microsoft Hololens which is a holographic augmented reality headset - though when I tried to follow the steps to purchase a viewer for the headset it lead to a dead-end on the website (love to hear if anyone has tried this).
It works very much like Sketchup where you can orbit, pan, zoom, walk and look around with all of the standard navigation tools in the basic toolset. You also have some control over the your display style attributes and the shadow settings, but surprisingly no control over layers. I say that this is surprising because while you have no layer control in the desktop viewer, you have layer control in the mobile device viewers.
You have to pay for the mobile device viewers unfortunately - they are not free and will cost A$15 which is an unfortunate impasse because if you want to let a client view your model on their phone or tablet, they will have to purchase the viewer. It is not a lot of money but just a bit of a barrier to freely showing your work off to your client. The tablet viewer can display files that have been shared on the 3d Warehouse which is nice if you want to share your project with the whole world, but you can also use Dropbox or if you have a Trimble Connect account you can load up your model files using this more private method.
The tablet viewer is quite a smooth experience where you can use your finger to orbit around or pinch the screen to zoom in and out. The viewer does not display fancy linework styles like pencil or freehand look lines but will display watermarks and other rendering attributes. And like I said earlier, you have control of your layers inside the model and can turn them on and off, and as well as this, you have the tape measure tool at your disposal. It is a bit clumsy to use especially if you have fat digits but it just another feature that the tablet/phone viewer has which is not implemented in the desktop version.
One thing which is not ideal about using one of these Sketchup viewers is that you have to hand over your model file to your client without any type of controls to stop them from changing things or distributing your hard work to anyone else as they like. Sometimes a way to prevent your file from been copied around is to export it to your client in a less versatile file format like .KMZ or .COLLADA and there are many model viewers that support alternative filetypes that Sketchup will export and it is just a matter of doing a Google search and then trying them out to see which one meets your needs the best.
Don't be afraid to try out other viewers that are available on the Apple Apps or Google Play stores. There are many free 3d model viewers and you can always give them a try and delete them if they are no good. Have fun with it!
