SketchUp for Higher Education

Educators and students from all over the world use SketchUp to explore, present and collaborate on their ideas in 3D.

SketchUp users in Higher Education can choose between Google SketchUp (the free version) or SketchUp Pro (which is free for educators and extremely affordable for students and schools).
