RogueHart Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 google sketchup is a design program made by google that has a very simple and quick interface. its useful and powerful. does anyone know of a good linux program similar to it? the simplistic interface is important as i wont be using the program so much for such important things that i need a hundred different tools and complicated scripts. just something i can build a quick design in.

DingleBerries Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Have you tried installing it via wine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueHart Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Have you tried installing it via wine? yeah. 7.0 is the only one ive found and it has a bronze compatability. i can get it installed just fine but it fails to run every time. 5.0 is platinum but i cant find a download anywhere.

Eviltechie Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I was looking for it myself, perhaps you could ask google to put out the older version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Kegel Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 7 works for me, you just have to use a recent wine and follow the tips at http://wiki.winehq.org/GoogleSketchup If that doesn't work for you, please let me know the version of Linux and of Wine you're using, and what graphics card you have. You can still get 6 by going to http://www.google.com/intl/de/sketchup/download/ and selecting the language you want, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
