Whether you use SketchUp for Web on a computer or Chromebook, your device needs mouse and keyboard input.
You can use SketchUp for Web on most internet-connected computers via a recommended browser (Chrome 59+ or Firefox 52+).
To use SketchUp for Web on a Chromebook, your Chromebook needs to meet the minimum specifications. However, the minimum requirements don't offer the best experience using SketchUp for Web on a Chromebook. Ideally, your Chromebook meets the following recommended specifications.
PowerPC G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor; Mac OS X v10.4.810.5 (Leopard) 256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended) for PowerPC based system; 512 MB (1 GB recommended) for Intel-based system. Intel Core i5, Core i7, Core i9 or Xeon processor: Memory: 4 GB of RAM: 16 GB of RAM or more: Storage: 500 MB for Parallels Desktop application installation Additional disk space for the guest operating system (at least 16 GB is required for Windows 10) SSD drive: Graphics: Intel, AMD Radeon or NVIDIA: AMD Radeon Pro graphics card: Operating System. Mac OS and the TradeStation Platform. Clients using Mac OS can run TradeStation through a Windows emulator. TradeStation supports the following configuration: Parallels Desktop 11 In the hardware configuration panel, allocate a minimum of 2 processor cores and 8 GB of RAM; Windows 10 64-bit; TradeStation 9.5 Update 12 and above. Pro Tools 12 HD System Requirements macOS. Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.8.5 (only supported below Pro Tools 12.5), 10.9.5 (only supported below Pro Tools 12.8), 10.10.5 (only supported below Pro Tools 12.8.2), 10.11.6 or 10.12.6 (only supported with Pro Tools 12.8 and above) Intel® Core i7 processor; 16GB RAM (32GB or more recommended). Mac OS X Lion Softwares System Requirements, Minimum Requirements, Recommended Requirements, Mac OS X Lion Specifications, Mac OS X Lion Hardware Requirements.
Minimum Specifications | Recommended Specifications |
---|---|
2.1+ GHz Intel processor | 2.8+ GHz Intel processor |
4GB RAM | 8GB+ RAM |
700MB of available hard-disk space | At least 1GB of available hard-disk space |
Intel HD integrated graphics card with at least 512MB video memory | Discrete Graphics card such as AMD Radeon R9 M37X 2048 MB |
We recommend choosing the largest available offering of RAM for any listed Chromebook. 4GB is strongly preferable to 2GB.
SketchUp for Web supports Retina (high DPI) displays.
Like many computer programs, SketchUp requires certain hardware and software specifications in order to install and run. These are basic requirements, though, so you may want to use our recommended suggestions to improve performance.

High DPI Support
SketchUp is DPI aware and can adjust the sizes of Icons and drawing elements so they are sized correctly for High DPI screens. Icons are sized when SketchUp starts up. If you adjust your DPI or scaling (Microsoft Windows – but only up to 150%) you will need to restart SketchUp to see correctly sized Icons and drawing elements.
