When I open the 2018 version I just created with the extension SketchUp 2025 shows it as a 2018 file as expected. I just tried to use it this way to import into V-Carve which needs a sketchup version of 2018 or earlier, and it doesn’t work. If you already have SketchUp 2025 open, using an extension to save back to an earlier version is easier than opening in an older SketchUp version. The extension won’t count against your SketchUp activations, either. Does anyone know how you can save as to an older version of Sketchup.

This extension doesn’t seem to actually save an older version to be imported into other softwares it is still saved as a 2025 file. Maybe it works into older versions of sketchup, but not 3rd party softwares that require an older version. How much older does it need to be for the other application? If it’s anything after 2021 you don’t need to save to an older version.
don’t go to the export section. go to the download section right below it.
- I just tested it with a file opened in SketchUp 2025.
- Whereever you download from, let Googles VirusTotal have a look on the stuff before downloading/launching.
- You could open your 2025 model in 2022 and save it backward if needed.
- Yer thats it, I try to install SU once i update to newer version.
- Tried the same cube and my interface looks different with different options.
BTW, your profile shows you are using SketchUp 2022. You could open pin up casino your 2025 model in 2022 and save it backward if needed. The native option to save to older versions was removed in SketchUP 2024.

Step-by-Step Guide to Importing PDFs in SketchUp
Exactly what do you mean by “exporting sketches”? I expect you are doing something wrong or you have incorrect expectations. You can download SketchUp files, PNG images, and STl files directly to your computer. You have only renewed your subscription, that does not imply that there is really an update. In the menu there is an option to search for updates, the process is automatic.
I’ve been away from SU for a while and just discovered that the “traditional” shortcut keys have been changed in SU ’18. For instance, F1 is no longer Help, it’s now Push/Pull and the P key does nothing. I think most users would agree that the ability to setup shortcuts just the way you want is one of SU’s most powerful and endearing qualities. Don’t export, Download.The free version downloads .skp .png and .stl natively. SketchUp Go plays well with others. Upgrade today to access our full set of exporters, including .dwg, .dxf, .3ds, .dae, and more.”

I forgot about the quick reference cards. I have it printed out and on my desk somewhere. Too bad it doesn’t show up when you do a search on help. I am completely unable to read or create files, or even export a simple cube to a test STL file. I however took the materials folder out of 2025 for save keeping and replaced it with 2024 version.
Another very useful help ressource is the Instructor that you can get by opening its window.When you are done with it, simply close its window. I used only numbers without any suffix. This is if the value you are inputting have the same units as the one you have set in “Model Info”.
I have the Getting Started section open. FWIW, if the PDF contains vector linework and you want a .dxf from it, you could use Inkscape to create that line work. Inkscape is a free application and is useful for a number of things. However, the resolution might not be as good as a direct pdf import. Yer thats it, I try to install SU once i update to newer version.
Then you add maps for various parameters.if you don’t have a map, then the parameter will apply everywhere. Don’t forget that you never should click in the DW. Just type then press Enter key or Return key. Can you describe more precisely what tool you used before typing values in the Dimension Window (DW). AT the bottom right you shall see rectangular field with a word to its left that shall read Measurements. The Fundamentals are the building blocks for all your SketchUp models, covering the toolset, sharing tips and tricks for even the most basic functions.
SketchUp 2025 – Option to Revert to Original Material Library?
Go to profile, put all the correct information and at the end hit the save button. Another possibility with Windows is to open the pdf in Acrobat Reader then save the file as a jpg file that can then be imported in SketchUp. What happens when you do try to import the PDF into SketchUp? You have one map that is the actual image.
Once the F is freed up, I then assign it to Follow Me, which by default has no shortcut at all. No problem, just remember to update your forum profile, with the information of your new machine, that’s a helpful information for future problem solving. Read these before trying to use sketchup 2025 new features.
According to your profile you’re still using MacOS 10, the new graphics engine requires al least macOS 12, your gpu may not be supported as well. If you turn off all the parameters and have no maps, then… all you have is the initial picture. Just like previous sketchup versions. If I’m understanding you correctly. My top two images were rendered in Twilight.
Based on what you wrote in your profile, you need to be using SketchUp Pro anyway. Then you could use the rbz files that you referenced. Kinda pointless to provide files that people can’t open. Just saying… I am a novice when it comes to this sorta thing so any help you can provide would be appreciated.
If the field is greyed out it means that irt is not ready to accept inputs. The files @Geo posted are plugins to be used in SketchUp Make or SketchUp Pro. The post you are referring to was made over three years ago; well before SketchUp Free was even mentioned. I thought F1 was a Windows hard-coded shortcut and would have expected that one to revert to Help since it is the standard Help shortcut for most programs. Oh well, it sounds like you’ve got it sorted out. Amazing what comes to us when we are almost asleep.
