I often use an old version for rendering while continuing to model in a newer version, or have several complex models chunking away in separate versions using their own core of my computer. It also means extensions that for some reason don’t work in the new version can still be used in the old one. I thank god that each new version installs separately, it allows you to continue using your current version for work while trying out the new version to make sure it is compatible with your system. And other things I can’t be bothered typing.Ī new install of Sketchup is a great time to do some housekeeping and only install what you really need, this will help speed up your load time too. It is actually possible to simply copy the Plugin folder from one version to another, but this will most likely leave you chasing load errors and license issues, not to mention some extensions get installed elsewhere or need to be installed so that they get into the registry. But still the many Extensions that come from outside those two main collections need to be dealt with individually. The Sketchucation store, has a system to help, the E Warehouse did have one and I am sure they are working on one. The downside of that is we need to manage them for ourselves. This is a huge bonus to us the user as we can pick and choose what we want to install and not have to suffer through the many overwhelming tools and possibilities presented by some other software. These extensions can come from anywhere and are not all ‘managed’ by Sketchup. These extensions are many and varied and their authors are also many and varied, not to mention their quality, age and current update status or even if they are still being supported. ![]() Sketchup has an open API which allows anyone the ability to write Extensions for it.
