If you have Autocad experience you will probably find it's interface very familiar and easy to learn as my son did. Fusion 360 is another 3D design software and part of the Autodesk family which includes Autocad so it has a strong pedigree. Note the update that states the original premise of the article is no longer valid.Īpparently you can get a free 3 year subscription to Fusion 360 for hobbyist use if you are so inclined. I thought I had seen a post awhile back about somewhere you could still download the 2017 MAKE but I could be mistaken. The web based offering has little in common with SketchUp Pro from what I can tell. The great thing about 'Make' was it had exactly the same interface as the more advanced version of SketchUp making it easy to transition from one to the other which is exactly what I did. Since I use SketchUp Pro I really can't say much about the web version other than my few limited exposures left me unimpressed. Shortly after Trimble bought SketchUp from Google they eliminated the free version of downloadable SketchUp, I believe 2017 was the last year SketchUp 'Make' was available, and replaced it with the web-based SketchUp 'Free' which has an entirely different user interface and limitations. This won't help you much, but you are correct.
