How to display a v.8 .skp file with an older SU
-
I am not sure where to post my request:
I made a project with SketchUp 8, I need to send it to a customer who own only an older version of SkechtUp (7 ?).

There is an App for watching only any .skp file or more generally a way to let an older SU open works made with a new version ? -

A alternative to Jim's obviously simple/preferred suggestion would be if client has V7 free, he could upgrade. Or if he's on Pro the price of the upgrade for the solid ops and Layout 3 are worth the price of entry, depending on how much he uses it!

Thanks. I didn't even know about it !

This reminds me of one of the other great things about SU, I can open all my legacy drawings but my BIM software leaves me with a load of unresolved components if I try to open anything more than two years old
