While we work hard to keep SketchUp both as simple and powerful as possible, remember the words of Thelonius Monk “Simple ain’t easy.” If you speak up about the features you’re missing, you may find we can add them without much fuss. Because we’re careful, old builds of SketchUp stay viable for a very long time. If there are SketchUp features you depend on but can’t find in SketchUp Free, you can always switch back to the desktop application. Given we can’t yet reach 100% feature parity between our SketchUp desktop applications (SketchUp Make and Pro) and browser-based versions like SketchUp Free and SketchUp for Schools, we’ve kept stable builds of SketchUp Make (2017, 2016, 2015) available to everyone for free as well. You should expect to see things change over time, but we’ll never deliberately leave anyone without a way to use SketchUp. But we do recognize the importance of universal access to SketchUp’s core modeling features and see the value in sharing them as widely as our business will support. Not all aspects of that model are appropriate to discuss in a public forum like this one. I think it is natural to speculate about the business model that supports our development work. If there are specific questions you’d like answered, I will answer them as specifically as I am able. Also know that there are members of that team (me, for example) who have been working on SketchUp for more than a decade and a half. Please know that the full SketchUp Free team follows threads in this forum. Thanks for the continuing thoughts, everyone.
