      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 ?).
      I tested, SU 7 doesn't open the SU 8 works.
      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 ?

        Hello,

        SketchUp 8 can save the file as any previous version. Select "Save as" from the File menu, then click the drop-down "Save as type" box:

          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!

              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 😞
