Is this still okay to purchase for sketchup in 2024 or do have updates for 2024? Thanks
I finally understand what CPU, RAM, and GPU are, thank you!
You're welcome!
The big question is, why in this day and age is SketchUp still single threaded!? Rather than the mostly minimal updates, Trimble need to sort out the under the hood performance and make it multi threaded, that way it won’t get bogged down when you a few objects in your scene!
SketchUp isn't to blame here: All 3D modeling software applications are single-threaded. That's because most calculations an application has to make to produce a 3D model are linear and can't be broken up into chunks to assign to more than one thread.
@@SketchUpSchool Okay, thanks. I didn’t think they all were single threaded as other programs, such as Maya, seem to handle a lot more objects in a scene than SketchUp does without slowing to a crawl.
So, why Archicad, as a top level BIM software and consequentially a '3D modeler' has been designed to use all the cores available in the machine?
@@stuart_gill you might find that lag comes from a combination of material/image/texture size and high poly geometry combined. A good way to find out if it's material size is simply change your style to black and white. If the model starts performing as expected you'll princely find one or more of your textures are really high, or much higher than required in the model. I don't use 3D warehouse for this reason. If you're importing IFC geometry you'll also notice significant lag as it triangulates all imported geometry. There are plugins like PlusDesignBuild that solve this.
Try closing outliner, turning shadows off and using a black and white style when you can.
@@giuseppenativo2123 really? Are you sure? I don't think so Tim, we'll not for geometry creation anyway.
Go into the specifics... Why would you just brush through it
Tell us why it lagged when handling heavy files, what can we do to speed up the autosave process, what's the necessary hardware to make the auto save process faster. Which part can make the we optimize. Focus on which hardware and cut out on which ones
For SketchUp only, focus on getting a powerful CPU with as much RAM as you can afford. Those things will help with the issues you are facing.
@Nelson, Right. Been using sketchUp for 8+y and only after upgrading to a ryzen system (3900x, 32gb, really nice actually, I have 3-4apps open at the same time, with 30-40 edge tabs) I didcovered how much I miss that extra integrated gpu (it handles the screen, and you have 100% of the dedicated on all for sketchup). Gpu is deff very important for modeling and doesn't get enough attention. My OpenGL settings AA is set to 2x, I wish I had a better gpu to put it higher...look better (currently gtx 960 4gb) Not to mention having shadows ON... You need a Nasa Pc for that. When it comes to VRay denoiser.. if you use v-ray (instead of nvidia ai that's doesn't look that great) the screen is laggy af for that duration, because it uses 100% of the gpu (at least spare me a few % to use my pc so I don't feel I wasted $2k 😅)
While it's most intuitive fun to use 3d modeling app out there, SketchUp is also the least optimised and requires the best pc possible if you want to do serious work. But instead we're talking ghz's.. Peace out.
I turn autosave off and get into the habit of pushing CtrlS when it's convenient for me. If this doesn't work for you, simply change it to 15 minutes. The law of averages says: its likely the most work you'll lose will be less than 5 minutes... unless you're really unlucky.
How about Apple’s new M1 & M2 series for vray?
Those M1 and M2 chips can run V-Ray, but there are still aspects that can only run the fastest on a PC.
vray is faster in nvidia imo.
Any recommendations on what laptop to buy? I just don't really know about those fancy specific technicals or the numbers. I just want to draw my house using sketchup with ease and speed

Very good values with this one, how will it work? anyone used it for sketchup? Acer Nitro 17 Gaming Laptop | AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS Octa-Core CPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU | 17.3" FHD 165Hz IPS Display | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB Gen 4 SSD | Wi-Fi 6E | RGB Backlit KB | AN17-41-R8N5, Black
That computer will work great for SketchUp and would also be pretty good if you need to create realistic renderings.
Does anyone with a Mac knows how much faster/slower v-ray is compared to other in real time? I have the new M2 Max with the highest spec. I got the computer because it best fits my needs and gives the same power output across the board whether its plugged in or not. I‘m willing to accept the fact that it might take a little longer to render, but just looking to get an idea of what big of a difference it would be. Thanks for any and all help for anyone.
I'm interested to know the same. I am looking to update my 2017 MacBook Pro and thinking the M2 Max might do the trick but would love to learn of any experience out there...
The easiest way to understand the difference is to look at V-Ray Benchmark scores here: benchmark.chaos.com/v5/vray?search=macos&index=1&ordering=desc&by=avg&my-scores-only=false. You can search for the hardware you have and see what the scores are, then look at other PC hardware to get a sense of the difference. When you compare two score numbers, you can get a rough idea of the performance difference by assuming that the ratio between the scores would map somewhat to the ratio of how long a render would take. So if one setup was 40,000 vsamples and the other was 20,000, then you might expect the 40,000 one to render twice as fast as the other. HOWEVER, in reality, this may not be the case as there are many other hardware factors that will play a role... so you just want to use that math as a guideline to see roughly how much faster certain PC setups will be.
Hey great video. Could you please tell me the best desktop configuration for vray sketchup, my budget is around 1200 usd.
This looks like a pretty good option for your budget: www.dell.com/en-us/shop/desktop-computers/alienware-aurora-r13-gaming-desktop/spd/alienware-aurora-r13-desktop/wdr13aur202soh
Thanks for your video. How about Layout SketchUp hardware? ( my english is not good).
Please send this question to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help.
awesome informative video Alex! It really is helpful and informative. From your own suggestion, I am a coming college student, would you recommend the baseline mac studio for a less expensive mac setup?
The baseline mac studio comes with Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 24-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, and 32 gb of unified memory. Thanks in advance! :)
The Mac Studio you mentioned sounds like it would work great!
I am thinking about upgrading my laptop and get a MacBook Pro m3 pro 36gb. Do you think that it would be fine for SketchUp and vray rendering? Will i be able to get good quality results?
The Macbook Pro you mentioned will run SketchUp nicely, and you can certainly also create V-Ray for SketchUp renderings. A Mac won't create those renderings as fast as a PC with an NVIDIA GPU, but if you'd rather go for a Mac it will still be able to do a nice job, just somewhat more slowly.
Hi Alex..
Whould the Mac Stdudio Max (basic model) be good for Autocad (3D drawing) & sketchup (photosrealistic rendering)… or what would you suggest ?
Thanks for de advice 🙏🏻
Yes, it would be a great computer for your needs. When it comes to photorealistic rendering though, just know that any type of Mac will be slower to produce the renderings than a comparable PC with an NVIDIA GPU. But you can still certainly use a Mac to produce the same quality renderings.
@@SketchUpSchool Thanks Alex… you’re a legend..!! 👍🏻
What would be a proper medium requirement for running sketchup Layout?
I have a i5 3470 and I'd like to get a video card just to make it run.

Apple M1
Another thing to consider that I'd like to mention is storage type. It really matters more for loading, saving times and of course how fast the program responds. An SSD is preferably better than any Hard drive, although it's pricey than an HDD with a higher capacity, trust me, choosing a machine with an SSD is a life saver.
Thank you for sharing! Very helpful!
I agree. I upgraded my firm's old pc with ssd and that really helps a lot overall not only for sketchup but the whole PC !
Yup, but personally, I would like to separate OS's SSD and SSD for applications and its cache or scratch disk location. The ideal storage would be like this IMO. 1 SSD just for operating system ( no page file here, move your pagefile into another SSD ). 1 SSD for application, cache, scratch disk, windows page file etc. 1 HDD for saving your final project.
Hello, I have a question, I'm currently running a Ryzen 7 3700X, RTX 3070, 32GB RAM and I'm going for photorealistic drawings. As I feel like it is still slow, as it took me the whole night to render a fairly simple kitchen. What should I do GPU settings wise and if this is my pc's ceiling, what should I upgrade?
Start by enabling the RTX rendering engine within V-Ray's settings: docs.chaos.com/display/VSKETCHUP/GPU+Rendering
If things are still slow, use V-Ray Benchmark to see how your system rates relative to other hardware out there: www.chaos.com/vray/benchmark
If your system rates highly, then you would want to take a look at your SketchUp model to see if it has an excessive polygon count or too many overly high resolution materials (or both).
Hi Alex, Thank for this video it's an important for me. and I have some question my boss comment for GPU Quadro is better than RTX. How was your recomment?
Please send this message to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help.
Can I use my Sketchup pro on multiple devices eg... my laptop and desktop
Yes, you can!
Thank you for the wonderful lecture!
I'm worried about the configuration of my desktop PC.
I want to reflect the material smoothly when "render with vray interactive" works. Do you know if the following configuration seems to be a problem?
CPU Ryzen9 5950x 16core
RAM 64GB
GPU GeForce RTX3060Ti 12GB
SSD 500GB M.2
Your computer looks like it should be able to create renderings quickly. When you use Interactive mode, things take longer to look "smooth". Try turning off Interactive and turning off Progressive - this will leave you in Bucket mode and the final result you get should look "smooth".
What about the specifications of this laptop?! HP ELITEBOOK 820 " CORE 17 | 8GB RAM | 500GB | TOUCH SCREEN | 12.5INCH | DUBAI | DAMMAANAD LEH
That looks like it just meets the minimum requirements to run SketchUp - but you might want something a little more powerful if you need to work with larger files.
Great video, thanks. A question for Sketchup, wondering which laptop is better to run Sketchup with Vray in between Samsung Book4 ultra with Nvidia 4070 and Macbook M3 Max 40 core GPU ? Any suggestion, please advise, thank you.
The Samsung with the NVIDIA GPU will be faster than a Mac due to the way that NVIDIA GPUs can accelerate render times.
Hi Alex, thanks for such a helpful video. One question, Im about to buy a new laptop to use sketchup and considering Macbook Air M3 but quite worried of throttling when rendering.. Do you think Air M3 is enough for rendering or should I buy Pro line up? You said it may requite at least 36GB of RAM for M1 chip but wondering if there is any change since Macbook is using M3 now.
We should mention first that if you would consider an NVIDIA-based PC, it would be a faster option than any Mac. That being said, if you prefer a Mac, you would be better off with the Pro version over the Air as it comes with hardware that will be able to handle the rendering calculations faster.
I'm upgrading my laptop to a desktop to increase performance when doing photo realistic rendering. Does this sound sufficient to prevent lag and increase the speed? Thanks
12th Generation Intel® Core™ i9 processor
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 (10 GB GDDR6X dedicated) with LHR

Is Macbook pro M2 good enough for running this software for 4-5 years?
Yes, it should be fine to run SketchUp over that period of time.
Should add in for Mac users you can use an external GPU to give you the boost! So there is an upgrade option here :)
Thanks for sharing!
Omg I’m so glad I found you!!! Def need help picking a good lap top for sketch up! I got recommended a Lenovo thinking pad. I wanna be able to run sketch up, and autocad n do realistic renderings that work fastttttt as a laptop for now: If anyone has recommendations!!

i ended up with i 9 genth 11
32gb ram
rtx 3090
im looking to upgrade a ram to 64 after some weeks
That sounds like a powerful computer!
AMD Ryzen 9 16 Core 5.7 GHz, GPU: RTX A5500 24GB, RAM: 64GB? Is it work?
Yes, that computer will work very well!
Hi Alex, very informative video, I've just upgraded my PC and looking to upgrade my GPU.
I mainly use Sketchup for interior designing.
I've been noticing when I added more and more 3D from the 3D warehouse like couch, rug, bed, Etc , my viewport is getting laggy and stuttering.
I'm leaning towards the RTX A4000 because of the 16gb VRAM and ECC, will this fix the stutter and laggy viewport? does Sketchup view port benefitted from ECC? or More VRAM?
or do I just get the 3080/3090ti or maybe 4090?
as far as I know, creating photo realistic rendering using Vray is all about CUDA cores.
my Pc Spec :
CPU : Ryzen 5 5600x
Ram : 32GB
GPU : RX580 8GB
Thank you very much :)
The SketchUp lagging problem won't be fixed with a better GPU - it's likely due to a high polygon count which can be helped with a powerful CPU, but also is a limitation in SketchUp that you need to work around by keeping your polygon count lower. Send us a message to team@sketchupschool.com and we can discuss your situation further to try to help.
Hey Alex, thank you for the video😉 actually I'm wondering how about mac book pro 2016 for vray ?
A 2016 Macbook Pro should be able to run V-Ray for SketchUp so long as it meets the minimum requirements listed here: docs.chaos.com/display/VSKETCHUP/System+Requirements

Should I go for the Intel i5 13600k which has better single core performance than a Ryzen 9 5900x ? I will mainly use it for sketchup and autocad.
For SketchUp, single core performance is the main thing to look at. For AutoCAD, there are some tasks that are multi-threaded. So if the Ryzen is close enough in single core performance, I say go for that so that you optimize AutoCAD and you also open up the chance that you take advantage of other multi-threaded applications down the line.
I've read that Sketch Up can't use Multi Core Rendering. So isn't it better to get an high end Intel since they perform better on Single Core Benchmarks?
Yes, SketchUp (and other 3D modeling software) can only take advantage of a single core, so you might as well just worry about getting the most powerful single core possible.
Thanks, loved the fun vibe 😊
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Can I do the drawing on the integrated graphics and just do CPU rendering on an AMD or intel desktop CPU?(Basicly I want to skip buying graphics card and just get a CPU with good iGPU, something like 5700G or intel 13600K)
ps: I work in Vray
V-Ray can run on the type of system you mentioned, it would just run slower than if you had a powerful enough NVIDIA graphics card.
@@SketchUpSchool thank you very much for your help
ohhh 😔😔😔I'm poor! I have a toshiba laptop from 2012. Hahaha imagine how I manage to make a render with skt + vray! I need jobs to buy a new one!... I'll keep crying until I stop turning on my poor machine.

You're welcome!
does it has graphics card?
I’m thinking to buy this laptop to use sketchup pro 2022- Lenovo IP3 15ACH6-102
That should work great for SketchUp Pro!
Will Macbook Air M1 2020 work with sketchup and vray?
Yes, it will run both of those programs.
Hi Alex, i am in the market for a new laptop and i am on a tight budget i have narrowed it down to 2 laptops one with a gtx 1650 and another with a rtx 3050 both are 4gb cards would like to know which one should i get as i would like to render my designs and if the 1650 is good enough to get those render its fine as well
The RTX 3050 will perform far better when it comes to creating photorealistic renderings.
ahh I see thanks for the reply man, appreciate it
Hi, just watched your video, very informative thank you. I'm still a little in the dark in regards to what machine to go for, I currently have 2017 iMac 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, Radeon Pro 570 4 GB.16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4. However this seem woefully underpowered for running sketchup pro. I'm a garden designer and once I import a few plants into my models it becomes awfully slow. I want to stay with apple, what would your opinion be on an Apple studio M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 24-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine
32GB unified memory and 512GB SSD storage. Do you think this would work well for me? I'd really appreciate any pointer you could give me? I have work I need to get finished, but it's becoming impossbile with the iMac I have. Thanks
.
I do think that the M1 Mac that you mentioned would perform faster. Note that you only need to worry about the CPU speed when it comes to how fast SketchUp runs as the GPU can't help speed up the types of operations SketchUp performs.
If the M1 was to run any files slowly, that wouldn't be something that more horsepower would fix. That would be due to the polygon count of the plants in your model being too high for SketchUp to handle smoothly (regardless of computer).
@@SketchUpSchool Thanks for getting back to me, very kind of you. Yes it seems to be a problem when adding plants and so on out of the 3d warehouse, I then tried some from globe plants and these were even worse. (Should of gone for the low polly, I just thought it was the ones out of the warehouse creating the problem).
What would you recommend as an apple purchase (I won't of course hold you to, it I'm just looking for guidance).
I want to buy a new laptop for realistic rendering, please which laptop should I go in for ?
Please contact us at team@sketchupschool.com and we can try to help
Hey Alex, great video as always. Just a quick questions as I can't decide between Mac and PC. Which do you use personally for SketchUp? Thanks
I personally use a Mac, but that's partly out of the habit of having used a Mac for nearly 20 years. I also have a PC that I use both for teaching SketchUp, but also for times when I very specifically just need to have more horsepower for creating realistic renderings. If I had to choose just one of the two, and I knew I needed to do a lot of rendering, I might go with the PC. But since I'm not rendering all of the time, and have many other things I am accustomed to doing with my Mac, it remains my primary machine.
For sketchup and enscape better 13700K + RTX4070Ti or 13900K+RTX4070 ?
I recommend the 13700K + RTX4070Ti option
@@SketchUpSchool thanks for reply 👍is 64gb DDR5 also needed for handle big project/big models?
i have AMD 6500 xt GPU. is it work with Sketchup , V-Ray and Lumion
Based on reviews, it looks like this GPU will perform quite slowly for rendering (V-Ray or Lumion), although it should work fine for SketchUp alone. If you have a more powerful CPU, that could make up for some of the performance when it comes to rendering.
Hey, which one will be better ryzen 9 7900x or 7950x, is it worth paying more for 7950x? Im adding Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC 12G and G.Skill Ripjaws S5, DDR5, 64 GB, 5200MHz, CL36
If you are just running SketchUp, the 7900 is fine. You won't notice a difference in upgrading to the 7950. If you're also going to create photorealistic renderings, and you're looking to save money, the 7900 will perform closely enough on rendering tasks that it's still probably the better option. The 7950 will give you a performance boost where renderings happen a little faster, but we're talking in the range of 20-30% faster for certain things, not twice as fast. But if budget is not a concern, then you can always pay more if you want every performance gain you can find.

Hello all. I have many GPU 3070 can we combine together to make it super fast?
You can add more than one GPU, just make sure that your CPU is powerful enough to take advantage of the two high-end GPUs if you decide to go that route.
vray use many as possible
Does vram memory stack up using nvlink in Vray? im using a 3090 with 24 gb, so if i added another 3090 do i have 48 gb of vram? One thing to note also that you missed out on this video thats worth mentioning is that even if you have the latest rtx card like the 3080 with a 10 gb or 12 gb of vram if you max out the vram with a scene that has alot of assets it eats up your vram and can cause significant impact on your renders times also

It's pretty far down on the list in terms of CPU performance relative to other options. If you have options, you could double or triple your CPU performance for a similar price point with some of the Ryzen 5 GPUs.
I have an amd 6800 xt can it run sketchup properly i heard amd gpu are not that great for 3d models
You can run SketchUp with that GPU. It's when it comes to creating realistic renderings in a software like V-Ray for SketchUp that you will find it won't be as helpful as an NVIDIA GPU would be.
@@SketchUpSchool does it not run or it takes abit longer to run i am currently on enscape

I’m looking at a Used Surface Pro 4 (older version)This video was helpful. Now I have to research which graphics card is included and if I can upgrade it later.
Glad the video was helpful!
dont buy it, surface is an ewaste, get a slim gaming laptop from lenovo thAT LAST LONGER.
Ни в коем случае не покупайте. Surface это красивая записная книжка, но он не подходит для 3D так как там слабое питание и энергоэффективные процессоры.. в общем слабый совсем..
This is awesome! Thank you 🙏🏼
You're welcome!
Great advice Alex
Glad you liked it!
Unfortunately rounding comers is not the only simple thing that Sketch Up does not do well or at all. For such a expensive program I don’t think it is worth the money!! For the paid version.
AWESOME Coffee cup! Running on a laptop with i7-9750H with 32GB ram and Nvidia RTX 2070. Sometimes, it runs like a 1979 Chevrolet Chevette trying to merge into 80mph rush hour traffic. Thinking about transitioning to a desktop machine. The multi-GPU principle was a major "Ah-ha" moment. Thank you!
You're welcome - and glad you liked the coffee cup! :)
fantastic video thanks for it.
