Installing the update over an existing version is the best way to preserve your settings and preferences. Once you finish downloading the install, double-click on the install file and follow the instructions. When a maintenance release becomes available, you will see a message in SketchUp to download and install this update. You may want to reboot your computer after the installation completes.Ī Note about Maintenance Releases: Updates are meant to be installed over an existing major version. Note that this icon is not the SketchUp application. You should now close the Installer window and delete the Disk Image drive icon from your desktop by dragging it to the Trash Can.The first time you launch the software, you may be prompted with security message, if so, click Open.
This will mount the installer drive and open a window with a SketchUp icon on it. Tip: You may also want to remove any existing SketchUp icons from your dock from previous versions (Right-click on the dock icon > Options > Remove from Dock), to avoid version mixups.
