If you want to use SketchUp for interior design purposes - e.g. SketchUp have a number of different options to choose from including SketchUp Free, SketchUp Go, SketchUp Pro and SketchUp Studio. I also offer a self-paced online course for beginners that may be of interest as well.

If you’re new to my community and you’re interested in learning how to model in SketchUp then you may be interested in my free information session all about SketchUp. I get asked all the time about which version of SketchUp is best to use for interior design purposes and what the difference is between the free and the paid version of the software, so in this post I am going to share the pros and cons of the free versus Pro versions so you can make an informed decision about which version is best for you. This makes it a fantastic piece of software not only for design professionals but also for home renovators or design enthusiasts who love to play ‘virtual house’.

It is also quite easy to learn (in comparison to other design software) so literally anyone who has access to the internet can get started with playing around inside SketchUp. SketchUp has a low barrier to entry as there are both free and paid versions of the software.

SketchUp is a widely used piece of software in the design and architecture industries.Īlthough you can create 2D plans, elevations and layouts inside SketchUp - it is most well known for giving people the ability to create 3D versions of their designs so these can be pictured in SketchUp before they are built.
