Important Note about Graphics Cards and System Requirements: We


recommend having the most current drivers installed for your graphics card(s), and
that you check to see if your computer meets our System Requirements.

Installation instructions for Windows:

1. Open the downloaded Installer file as an Administrator. You may need to see
a security prompt and will need to give SketchUp permission to make
changes (install) on the computer. This step may take a while, so be patient if it
seems like nothing is happening.
2. When the installation window opens, you'll have the option to change the
application language and choose a different installation directory.
Click Install, and the Installer will show a progress bar.

Tip: While it is possible to choose any location, we recommend keeping


SketchUp installed on the C:\ drive.

3. Once you see the "SketchUp 2016 is Ready to Go!" message you can click on
the SketchUp icon in the window to launch SketchUp right away, alternatively
you can click Finish to close out the installer.
