As promised, we’ve got one final maintenance release for all you folks who just can’t let go of your SketchUp Pro 6 install. We found a few niggling bugs and some outstanding security issues to fix, so we thought we’d spin one last build for you. This free upgrade is recommended for all SketchUp Pro 6 users, and is now available for download now. This maintenance release contains no new features, and none of the performance improvements we made in SketchUp 7. It’s just a few bug fixes.

For those of you keeping count, this is the sixth maintenance release we’ve done for SketchUp 6 since it launched in January 2007. That’s been just over three years that we’ve been maintaining SketchUp 6, and it is time for us to move on. From this point forward, we’re focusing all our attention on SketchUp 7 and beyond.

If you’re still using SketchUp Pro 6, I hope you’ll consider upgrading to SketchUp Pro 7.1. Upgrades cost $95, and we can get you up and running with a minimum of fuss on our latest, fastest and most stable release ever.
