Every Contributor in your team gets access to the Mac app, along with regular updates, as part of your Teams subscription. In other words, you do not need to buy both a Teams subscription and a license in order to use the Mac app. Better still, because Contributors can sign in to the Mac app with their Sketch Account details, you won’t need to keep track of license keys, either. Raizlabs’ SketchPad HD is a hybrid drawing and notetaking app for the iPad that allows you to create text notes as well as drawings, and flip through both. This $1 app lets you draw on a variety.
Designing three-dimensional models (like buildings, cars and packages) doesn’t have to be take years of training just to use. SketchUp offers the same results as other 3D modeling software without the steep price point or the intimidating jargon. In fact, you don’t even have to transition your drawings from 2D to 3D. SketchUp takes care of perspective and shading so you can focus on perfecting your product design.
An inexpensive and easy-to-use 3D modeling software
As an artist, your program should not restrict how you want to create a model.
Sketchup gives you three options to begin your design
From Scratch The home page of SketchUp shows you a little person standing in the middle of your screen. You can opt to delete him to start with a completely blank slate. In Google Earth It will take some time to learn this, but SketchUp allows you to create a model on top of a Google Earth aerial photograph. Files Take your inspirations to SketchUp by building a model based on a JPG or CAD file of the product you want to build. Just like Google Earth, it’s a useful but advanced feature.
Perfect training ground for new designers
When it comes to 3D modeling software, it doesn’t get easier than SketchUp. The program’s popularity lies in how quickly you can build something, even if you’re using it for the first time. In fact, you can build something recognizable in under four hours. That’s not to say you’ll be a sketch whiz in that time – it just means that SketchUp’s learning curve is shallow. It’s not even necessary to read it’s manual or be familiar with special geometric concepts. You will only work with line and shapes, which gives you the freedom to arrange things how you want it. Well, how you want things to be arranged in 3D that is.
SketchUp focuses on making things appear hand-drawn by using non-photorealistic rendering. This means you won’t be bothered by providing measurements, plans, and sections, but you also won’t be able to create extremely detailed models like buildings and mansions. These limitations are expected given that making model views look like photos are a specialized undertaking.
Simple and functional design
With the addition of small-scale modeling, SketchUp is just like any program you already use. It only has four main areas that you need to be familiar with.
Modeling Window this is the big area in the middle of your screen, and where you will spend most of your time in SketchUp. It’s sort of like a window to the three-dimensional world since it’s always in 3D view of your model, even if you’re looking at it from the top or sides.
ToolbarSketchUp really makes it a point to do the heavy lifting for you; instead of bombarding you with tons of tools to choose from, you’re greeted with the Getting Started toolbar. It has all the essential tools and commands to get started. Once you’re confident enough to use the rest of them, just click the arrow to the right of the toolbar.
Dialog Boxes SketchUp doesn’t have a technical name for its dialogue box, but it’s like palettes or inspectors you find in other modeling programs.
Context menu whenever you right-click things in your modeling window, the context menu will appear with commands and options to open. It only shows a limited set of tools, but all of them are relevant to what you’re doing or the area that you selected.
Where can you run this program?
A powerful but compact tool, Sketchup can run on both Windows and mac OS X devices with these minimum requirements:
- Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7
- NET Framework version 4.5.2
- 64-bit version of Windows
- 1 GHz processor
- 4GB RAM500MB of free hard-disk space

Is there a better alternative?
SketchUp can only offer the basics of 3D modeling. If you’re looking to deepen your knowledge of CAD software, look no further than Blender. It offers an advanced mesh-based direct modeling software to create, well, anything you want really. Its main use is for video game development and animation, but you can practically create any 3D printable model you want. But with all that power, you’re going to need to know exactly what you want to design before you start your project.
Our take
This is not a tool that calls itself ‘free’ but doesn’t offer anything useful. Sketchup is the perfect CAD software to start learning 3D modeling – or even discover if you like designing in the first place. For sure, it will amaze you how easy it is to come up with a well-thought-out three-dimensional model of your own.
Should you download it?
I Sketch For Macbook
Yes. It's a great piece of software to start learning or even just dabble in 3D modeling.

We've got a whole set of educational sources to help make the most of a Teams subscription.
How much does a Teams subscription cost?
A Teams subscription costs $99 (billed annually) or $9 (billed monthly) per Contributor. Contributors are members of your team who need to access and use the Mac app to create and edit Sketch documents. These prices don’t include sales tax, but this may still apply. Head over to our pricing page to get full details of how pricing for a Teams subscription works. Note: We’ll always charge for one Contributor so long as your team is active, even if no-one in your team uses the role.
Do I still need to purchase licenses for the Mac app?
Every Contributor in your team gets access to the Mac app, along with regular updates, as part of your Teams subscription. In other words, you do not need to buy both a Teams subscription and a license in order to use the Mac app. Better still, because Contributors can sign in to the Mac app with their Sketch Account details, you won’t need to keep track of license keys, either.
What are the differences between Contributors and Viewers?
Contributors can use the Mac app and share their designs on your team’s Cloud workspace. Viewers don’t have access to the Mac app, but can view, inspect and comment on designs in the browser. You can add unlimited Viewers to your team for free. Your bill is based on the number of Contributors you have and you can change this at any time. Note: We’ll always charge for one Contributor so long as your team is active, even if no-one in your team uses the role.
How long does the free Teams subscription trial last?
When you sign up for a Teams subscription, you’ll automatically get a free, 30-day trial. When that 30-day trial ends, we’ll use the payment details you gave us during the signup process to charge you for your next billing period. If you cancel your Teams subscription at any time during your trial we won’t charge you at all.
Will Sketch for Teams replace volume licensing?
We know that for some organizations, our legacy volume licenses are still a better fit for their needs. We have no immediate plans to phase our volume licenses in favor of teams, but we’ll contact all volume license holders if this changes in the future.
Can I exchange my existing Sketch license for Teams credit?
You can redeem any existing Mac app licenses you have for credit against your Teams bill. You’ll get $9 of credit per seat/device, multiplied by the number of months left on your license. Teams subscriptions include Mac app access and regular updates for every contributors, so there’s no need to pay for licenses as well.
