Technical specifications
An internet connection is required both to install and authorize your subscription. Some features within SketchUp also require an internet connection. Windows 11
Recommended Hardware Requirements
A 2+ GHz processor.
A graphics card that’s separate from the CPU, also known as a discrete graphics card. Most current generation AMD or NVIDIA cards on the market are considered discrete.
At least 8GB of RAM.
At least 6GB of available hard disk space.
A modern GPU with at least 8GB VRAM. SketchUp’s classic renderer requires OpenGL 3.1 support. SketchUp’s performance relies on your graphics card driver and its ability to support OpenGL 3.1 or higher.
A modern GPU with at least 32GB of VRAM when interacting with models utilizing materials with Physically Based Rendering (PBR) texture maps, Ambient Occlusion, and Image Based Lighting.
A 3-button, scroll-wheel mouse.
Sefaira for Sketchup
An internet connection is required both to install and authorize your subscription. Sefaira features also require an internet connection to run and are only available in English. Sefaira uses geometry from one of two 3D authoring platforms, SketchUp or Revit. You must have at least one of these to study your own geometry in Sefaira. The following versions are officially supported:
SketchUp 2026, 2025 and 2024
Revit 2025, 2024 and 2023
