SketchUp Studio Educator – annual license – 1-year subscription
- SketchUp Studio for Students is a comprehensive 3D modeling package designed for higher education, providing access to SketchUp Pro, Sefaira, LayOut, Trimble Connect, Revit Importer, and other essential tools.
- It enables students to create detailed models, analyze building performance, and collaborate on projects in the cloud.
- The software is available at a discounted rate for students and educators, making professional-grade tools more accessible.
👩🏫 Educator Eligibility
- You must be a currently employed instructor, faculty member, or researcher at an accredited educational institution.
- This includes primary, secondary (K–12), and higher education levels.
- You’ll need to provide proof of employment, such as a faculty ID, institutional email address, or a letter from your school. You need to attach it as a document in the checkout form. Please note that the licenses will not be delivered without the provided proof in case the provided e-mail does not includean institutional domain!
Important Notes
- The educator license gives access to the full SketchUp Pro suite, including modeling, rendering, and documentation tools.
- It’s strictly for educational use only—commercial use is not permitted.
- Processor: 1 GHz (recommended 2+ GHz)
- RAM: 4 GB (recommended 8+ GB)
- Hard Drive: 1.5 GB of available space (recommended 2+ GB)
- Graphics Card: Modern GPU with at least 512 MB video memory and support for hardware acceleration and OpenGL 3.1. A discrete, separate graphics card is preferred over integrated graphics.
- Operating System: Windows 10 or 11
- Mouse: A 3-button, scroll-wheel mouse
- Internet: Required for installation, activation, and some features
- Software: .NET Framework version 4.5.2
Recommended Specifications for Better Performance- Processor: 2+ GHz, focusing on single-threaded performance.
- Graphics Card: A discrete graphics card (e.g., NVIDIA or AMD) is recommended, particularly for models and designs involving heavy graphics or rendering.
- RAM: At least 8 GB, with 16-32 GB strongly recommended for professional use and handling large models.
- Hard Drive: At least 2 GB of available space.
- Mouse: A 3-button, scroll-wheel mouse is considered a minimum.
Key Considerations- Single-Core Performance:SketchUp's modeling and drawing processes are single-core and benefit more from a fast single-threaded CPU than from a CPU with many cores.
- GPU for Rendering:While SketchUp itself doesn't heavily rely on the GPU, modern third-party rendering applications used with SketchUp can significantly benefit from a powerful graphics card.
- Mac Users:SketchUp supports recent macOS versions (12, 13, 14). Mac systems generally have processors that exceed the minimum requirements, but more RAM is still the primary factor for performance improvement.
- Software: .NET Framework version 4.5.2
