End of Support - Viewer for Desktop

Beginning April 22, 2025, SketchUp Viewer for Desktop will no longer be available to download. SketchUp’s Desktop Viewer has helped users view and share their models with others who may not have access to a version of SketchUp. Over time, we have implemented alternatives that help communicate your designs like Link Sharing and the Trimble Connect Visualizer. With those features in place, we have made the decision to end support for Viewer for Desktop.

If you have already downloaded Viewer for Desktop, you may continue using it but some features may not work as intended. We recommend using one of the following features instead:

  • Trimble Connect – Any model published to Trimble Connect can easily be shared with stakeholders or collaborators.
  • Link Sharing – You can share a link to any model published to Trimble Connect that users can then view in SketchUp for Web.
  • Trimble Connect Visualizer – A Trimble Connect Workflow Extension, the Trimble Connect Visualizer is a great way to share your designs.
