Frequently Asked Questions
What is SketchUp 2026 PRO for macOS? ▾
SketchUp 2026 PRO is the professional 3D design software subscription for Mac developed by Trimble — the world’s most intuitive tool for architects, interior designers, construction professionals, urban planners, and landscape architects. The Pro subscription includes SketchUp for Desktop (native Mac), SketchUp for Web, SketchUp for iPad, LayOut (2D documentation), PreDesign (site data), 3D Warehouse (4M+ models), Trimble Connect (unlimited cloud collaboration), Extension Warehouse (600+ extensions), and SketchUp AI.

Compatible with macOS 12 Monterey or later on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
What is LayOut and why do I need it on Mac? ▾
LayOut is SketchUp Pro’s dedicated 2D documentation tool for Mac — it takes your 3D SketchUp models and turns them into professional construction documents, presentation sheets, and technical drawings. You can place multiple views of your 3D model onto a page, add dimensions, labels, and annotations, and export to PDF or DWG format for contractors and clients. LayOut is exclusive to SketchUp Pro and is one of the most important reasons professionals choose Pro over SketchUp Go or Free — it bridges the gap between 3D concept design and real-world 2D deliverables on macOS.
Does SketchUp 2026 PRO work on Apple Silicon Macs? ▾
Yes — SketchUp 2026 PRO runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4) as well as Intel Macs. Native Apple Silicon support means no Rosetta 2 translation is required — SketchUp launches faster, renders more smoothly, and uses less battery on M-series MacBooks and Mac desktops. macOS 12 Monterey or later is required. SketchUp for iPad also works seamlessly alongside the desktop version for on-site sketching and collaboration.
