“my.SketchUp is being developed and beta tested,” writes the company. The SketchUp folks at Trimble say on their website that my.SketchUp is not for commercial use.

Take a look at the image above that’s what it looks like in Safari. My.SketchUp is the new home of a cloud app version of SketchUp that you run through your modern web browser.

And yes, while those using the mobile iOS app likely got notice of that update, the SketchUp in the Cloud app has been a little harder to learn about. Between June and early October, the web-based version has been available as an “invite-only” beta. They also introduced version 3 of SketchUp Mobile at that same time. The SketchUp folks quietly took the wraps off my.Sketchup-SketchUp in the Cloud-back at 3D Basecamp 2016, their annual user event, according to a blog post.
