Notice: This user guide is based on the legacy connector.
We recommend using our new connectors instead, as they are easier to use and actively maintained. This legacy documentation may not be up to date.

To install the SketchUp Connector, it’s assumed you have:

  • Speckle Account (you can get one for free🎉 at https://app.speckle.systems/)
  • Manager for Speckle. You can download it from here and add your Speckle account.

Once Manager is installed and your account is set, you can continue with the installation.

​
Installing on Windows and Mac

  1. Open Manager for Speckle and click on the “Connectors” tab.
  2. You should see a list of available connectors. Scroll down until you find the “SketchUp Connector” or use the search bar to find it.
  3. Click the “Install” button next to it.

If you are using a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip, you will need to install Rosetta before installing the SketchUp Connector.

That’s it! You’re all set to use the Speckle connector for SketchUp.

​
Installing early releases

If you want to stay on the cutting edge of the SketchUp Connector, then you can install pre-releases of it.

To install pre-releases for the SketchUp Connector, follow these steps:

  1. Inside the connector page, switch to the “Versions” tab.
  2. Inside the “Versions” tab, toggle on the “Show Pre-releases” option.
  3. From this list, select the desired version you wish to install and click on the “Install” button next to it.

⚠️ Please keep in mind that these early versions are not intended for production work and may have some untested features.
