Unsupported Environments

32-Bit Operating Systems - SketchUp is no longer available for Windows or MacOS in any 32-bit capacity. ARM64 processors are able to emulate x64 on Windows 11 in a VM capacity, but are not supported.

Linux - A Linux version of SketchUp isn't available at this time.

Parallels/VMWare - VMWare and Parallels are not supported.

Remote Desktop Connections - SketchUp does not support a Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) on any platform due to hardware restrictions in shared environments.

External Graphics Cards (eGPU) - SketchUp is untested and unsupported on systems with eGPUs attached. While it may work for some users, we will not provide support for SketchUp on a system with this configuration.

Other Hardware/Software Considerations

Multiple Monitors and Displays - SketchUp can be used across multiple displays. There are some configurations that may not display as intended or prevent some tools from functioning. If you are using multiple displays, follow these guidelines:

  • Do not use a 5k display 5k displays are not supported.

  • Do not use more than one 4k display at a time.

  • Do not use more than two displays.

  • Match display resolutions on each display.

  • Use 100% display scaling. Anything over 150% is not supported.

Virtual Environments - For subscribers using supported versions of SketchUp, using SketchUp in virtual environments is allowed as a product-specific exception to Trimble’s General Product Terms. For more information see Using SketchUp in Virtual Environments.

3D Mice - You can use Logitech 3D Motion Controllers from 3Dconnexion to create models in SketchUp. The 3Dconnexion website has more information about these controllers.

High DPI Support - SketchUp is DPI aware and can adjust the sizes of Icons and drawing elements so they are sized correctly for High DPI screens. Icons are sized when SketchUp starts up. If you adjust your DPI or scaling in your OS settings, you will need to restart SketchUp to see correctly sized icons and drawing elements.
