Hello, thank you for your video, let me know about using ipad to make 3D, I am currently planning to buy it, but I am worried about choosing the wrong device, can you tell me whether you bought 8g ram or 16 for ipad pro?
Im actually really stoked about it. I'm pretty married to the mac ecosystem and just started a position with an interior design firm while I learn sketch-up and assume a position as a designer. I think iPad is the most intuitive 3d modeling experience I've had yet.
Hi.. Thank you for reviewing this product I have been using the desktop version for quite sometimes now, my only problem with this version on the iPad is that its an annual subscription, I don't mind $12 monthly but I wish its monthly based subscription rather than yearly, at least we would have the choice of renewing it if we want. Thank you again
Fantastic version for showing a model to a client ( at their place or on site ) and being able to change and edit elements on the fly ,, and send jpegs of updates to the client for approval.
Thanks. Although I don’t really see the reason why one would have this on an iPad. A better option if you want it on a tablet is to have a touch screen pc with a good pen. That way you still have proper access to extensions.
For mobile modeling this is fantastic - on the spot you measure and model. For site visits this is fantastic. But also when you are on the go and need to work on a concept.
Thanks for the vid Justin. I REALLY appreciate the no nonsense get to the point approach to your videos. I don't see the ability to create groups in the ipad version and was hoping you'd cover that.
Thanks Justin. You’re my go-to guy for Sketchup. Thanks for the info on iPad. I wanted to see if I could access the Make version on iPad without subscription, the answer is no. And I note that in order to access my sketchup library on both desktop and iPad then that is a £300 subscription - not worth it for what I do and the frequency of my use. Love your tutorials and am always watching them when I’m busy on Sketchup.
I am impressed also. I started collecting some videos in my channel that I started doing while beta testing. My workflow has definitely evolved. Have you found anything missing from the out of the box tools in the desktop version?
Hi John here, I noticed 2 things and hoping you can enlighten us with. 1 can’t seem to open a drawing from iPad to a paid version of SketchUp without a subscription version. 2 printing options? Regards John
Question, i would have to use it fore drawing ground plans, just top vieuw with dimensions and the names of the rooms i am drawing. Also i would use my fingers to draw, does it work good ore you really need a pen fore straight shapes, square ore rectangles.
I noticed that you’re also a lefty. The first request I make was for a left/right-handed option in Settings. I use the pencil mainly and having to to repeatedly lift my hand off the screen to make 90% of my selections quickly became quite annoying. Do you or any other lefties find the same thing?
I don't, but that's because I find it much easier to work with the keyboard and bluetooth mouse - I'm not doing a ton of modeling with the stylus. A left handed mode does seem like a good idea though :)
It's an interesting direction, but i am still not convinced that I can get any job done with Sketchup on an iPad. There is even less accuracy and precision, which I think are essential for any decent Sketchup work. What I am excited for though is the ability to see and navigate a model on the iPad. I'd very much appreciate a free Sketchup viewer of something of the sort.
I bought this I pad version not realizing what it was. The go version. I am having difficulty using the online videos tht show a different screen from the I Pad version. Any thoughts?
It is very pricey, perhaps not so much on its own but if you consider all the other subscriptions people pay for it all really adds up to huge sums of money. I would have loved to use this but id rather buy a game.
I really dont see the point of sketchup on a ipad. SU is pretty bad when it comes to dealing with heavy scenes so I can't see an ipad pro being able to run it. Then you get into the cost. I bought the last standalone version of SU. I've not seen anything so far since, that would make me decide to go to a subscription version. As you pointed out, you really need a keypad and a mouse so add ipad pro+keyboard+mouse+sub and you're paying a lot of money for it. You could by a faster and cheaper laptop and just use the normal version. If I was using an ipad pro with procreate or sim apps, I'd just sketch on the screen the same as if I had a roll of bumwad. Why arse about trying to model on a device that wasn't made for that type of thing? Just my 2 p's worth
Well I would say that the vast majority of models SketchUp is being used for probably aren't that heavy, though I would suspect that it probably doesn't run the heavy models that well. As to being able to run it on an Ipad, an Ipad is significantly more portable than a laptop, though I don't think I see myself doing super heavy work on this version. Probably more of a personal preference thing, but since it's included with any of their paid plans, it does provide a convenient new option. Like I said in the video at the end (I think), I'm not sure the app by itself would be enough to entice people to pay a subscription, but I do think it's a nice feature if you are already subscribed.
Yeah, I agree If the iPad works best with a mouse and a keyboard, then it really is just a laptop. No point. Maybe if you are on a short trip where you stand or it's not convenient to use a laptop, the iPad works much better. But the mouse and keyboard requires a table, where you really should just use a laptop.
If, per your suggestion, dedicated iPad version works best when you pretty much turn your iPad into a laptop by adding keyboard and mouse, then what is the point of this version? iPad is not an “almost laptop”. It has unique ways user can interact with it, app makers have to understand its benefits. That’s what sets Shapr3D and Sketchip app apart, it is decades apart as far as philosophy goes. Very disappointed by this iPad Sketchup. It feels like Microsoft Dos.
I mean - I think as mobile versions go, it's actually quite good, but I just struggle a bit to figure out the situation where I would use this instead of just booting up a laptop. I CAN work with the stylus, but for it to feel more productive, I personally preferred it with mouse and keyboard. It does seem to be a great fit for some people though
It is very outdated to think about IPad as a lesser platform for a 3D modeling app such as Sketchup. I see that Sketchup app designers and you share this attitude towards mobile platform.
@@deepseadiver8191 I don't see how it's outdated for me to have TRIED both ways of working with the app, as well as the desktop version, and finding that I'm significantly faster on desktop or with mouse and keyboard, and not seeing a time when I would choose stylus over the other method...
@@Thesketchupessentials I think what’s he’s saying is that mobile platforms have capabilities that have the potential to extend use cases if the developers truly lean into the platforms and utilize unique features (like stylus and touch controls). Of course you prefer the desktop version since the app is essentially a clone with clunkier controls, instead of a manicured tablet app with revamped UI for the system. I understand both views however
Hi can we change the dimensions of a shape after drawing other elements ,just by clicking it as in desktop version and also can we select multiple items for extrusion in iPad without keyboard or mouse
Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about the new SketchUp for Ipad in the comments below! :)

I hope they can also have sketchup for android
Seconded. Imagine this on a quality oled android tablet
I am impressed also. I started collecting some videos in my channel that I started doing while beta testing. My workflow has definitely evolved. Have you found anything missing from the out of the box tools in the desktop version?
Great to see you here again youve helped me so much , really take the fear away
Glad to hear it!
I have downloaded as it comes with pro version and have found it so useful on the go.
I agree - I really feel like they did a good job on it - it didn't feel like a stripped down experience at all
Awsome video!!! Can I ask what iPad are you using for this video? Thank you ;)
Hi John here, I noticed 2 things and hoping you can enlighten us with. 1 can’t seem to open a drawing from iPad to a paid version of SketchUp without a subscription version. 2 printing options?

Hey Justin, what's the easiest way to get sketchup files from my computer into my ipad so I can edit back and fourth?
Really love it, but one question… for Rendering on my PC, I use V-Ray, any type of add-ons or app I can use for the iPad Air?
Question, i would have to use it fore drawing ground plans, just top vieuw with dimensions and the names of the rooms i am drawing.
Also i would use my fingers to draw, does it work good ore you really need a pen fore straight shapes, square ore rectangles.
Thanks for the cool videos. Can the double tap on the apple pencil be programmed to some function (delete or tape or..)?
Is it possible to add styles in sketch up on iPad? I always love the diffuse Pencil style but I don’t see how that can happen on iPad
I noticed that you’re also a lefty. The first request I make was for a left/right-handed option in Settings. I use the pencil mainly and having to to repeatedly lift my hand off the screen to make 90% of my selections quickly became quite annoying. Do you or any other lefties find the same thing?
I don't, but that's because I find it much easier to work with the keyboard and bluetooth mouse - I'm not doing a ton of modeling with the stylus. A left handed mode does seem like a good idea though :)
How do I get the area of my floor plan? Can’t seem to find where on the ipad.
Is there cutlist option for iPad Like extensions for desktop versions?
How do you manage the lag? I find mine gets laggy after I do quite a bit of work I have an iPad Pro 2021
Could i use the same sketchup license for windows on ipad?
It's an interesting direction, but i am still not convinced that I can get any job done with Sketchup on an iPad. There is even less accuracy and precision, which I think are essential for any decent Sketchup work.
What I am excited for though is the ability to see and navigate a model on the iPad. I'd very much appreciate a free Sketchup viewer of something of the sort.
I think there already is a free SketchUp viewer.
is it possible to install RBZ plugins??
Have you tried loading up a heavy model? Like over 500mb on the m1 iPad Pro? I’m using the 4th gen iPad and cant open large models.
I seriously doubt this tool is intended to handle massive models, though I haven't tested it
I bought this I pad version not realizing what it was. The go version. I am having difficulty using the online videos tht show a different screen from the I Pad version. Any thoughts?

Darauf habe ich lange gewartet! Für mich privat leider zu teuer.
Note you need a newer iPad operating system, mine is running 12.5 and it will not load.
Same I can’t load my models
Shapr3D still better

Hi can we change the dimensions of a shape after drawing other elements ,just by clicking it as in desktop version and also can we select multiple items for extrusion in iPad without keyboard or mouse
Wireless mouse and keyboard... so like, just use it on your actual computer then. lol
