SketchUp v2017 Make is the last available desktop version.
It works in Win10 [64bit].
It is for non-commercial use.
The newer 'Pro' versions all work with Win10, but of course it cost$...
For non-commercial work there's the free Web based version, which is newer when looking at its functionality, however it doesn't support 'extensions', and has some other limitations and differences that you might not appreciate/need...
For non-commercial work I'd suggest trying v2017 Make as your first step...
Three weeks ago I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 3700X on a Gigabyte X570 Aorus PRO.
Really happy with the speed. A few things though;
its new. The X570 bios is still in its infancy so still issues to be solved by AMD and the mobo manufacturers.
Edit: for instance XMP enabled can cause BSOD - I only see that when building UE from source in VisualStudio. For the rest the system is stable all the time with XMP enabled.
boot times for some reason are very long on the x570 platform. Almost a minute (even with fast PCI-e M2). Also, the x570 chipset has active cooling on most mobo's
apparently the Ryzen 7 3000 series behave more like a GPU where they reach (and maintain) top performance only when the temps are low (if there's enough cooling) and throttle down speed when the temps get too high.
the Ryzen 7 3000 series cpu's temp go up&down 45-65-45 degrees every second even when just browsing. I have a Noctua fan on the cpu and 3 more in the case but they just can't keep up with the temperature spikes (just like any other fan / cooling solution I expect). Fan noise going up&down was really annoying until a custom profile was set in the bios where the fans are at 60% speed from 0 to 75 degrees (barely audible) and ramp up to 100% when above 75c. Now I almost never hear the fans again.
finally still a few issues with lower max turbo speeds compared to what AMD's promo machine wants us to believe. In short; the turbo speed is only achieved for a few milliseconds by one core and most of the time a bit lower. The 3700X is at 4,2Ghz - 4,3 Ghz most of the time and spikes 4,4Ghz only every now and then.
Look on YouTube for 'Der Bauer Ryzen' videos for more info.
Still I'm happy with the 3700X. It crushes compile times on UnrealEngine and the machine feels very snappy.
I'd change the 1TB M.2 NVME SSD to a 512GB Samsung 970 Pro SSD (this will be OS drive with apps installed here also), then get a separate 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD (for data / storage). Rather get Windows 10 Pro, you can join network domains that way. Consider changing the GTX1660 5GB for a GTX 1070 8GB (or GTX 1080 8GB or better) if you're planning to do any rendering. Make sure the 32GB RAM is in a 2x16GB configuration, this will leave you with the option to buy another 2x16GB (of the same) if you want to upgrade this, will save you the trouble of buying a complete 4x16GB set and try to sell your 4x8GB at a loss.
SketchUp runs on a single core only, thus favors higher clock speeds. Rendering apps will make good use of the more RAM and better graphics card.
If anyone is still following this, here's mine out of interest. I'm only here as periodically like to see where things are at in way of speed - I'm working a model at the moment with loads of 3D vegetation components and it's seriously chugging along.
I've also wondered about the effectiveness of PC v Mac in Sketchup - i've got friends with PC who never seem to complain about it.
Thanks Glenn. Are you using Revit for Cd's and visualization or SketchUp for viz, or a combination?
I only use Revit on BIM files that we get from outside consultants. I primarly use AutoCAD/Arch and SU in a mixture of space planning and small projects that we don't hire out (I work for a University). I just completed a proposal for a new point of sale cabinet for one of the cafeterias. Went from Acad to SU and then to Simlab. I do perform test renders in SU with Ambient Occlusion. The cabinet has to go around a column (reason for rear curved section). It should match existing millwork.
