On January 9, 2007, Google announced Google SketchUp 6, a free downloadable version of SketchUp, including integrated tools for uploading content to Google Earth and to the Google 3D Warehouse. Google acquired Software on March 14, 2006, attracted by Software's work developing a plugin for Google Earth. This C-130 Hercules model was made in SketchUp and rendered with Kerkythea. Many different 3D and 2D exporters are available in SketchUp for uses such as rendering. The program includes drawing layout functionality, surface rendering in different 'styles', and enables placement of its models within Google Earth.

Owned by Trimble Inc., the program is currently available as a web-based application, SketchUp Free, and three paid subscriptions, SketchUp Shop, SketchUp Pro, and SketchUp Studio, each with increasing functionality. SketchUp is a suite of subscription products that include SketchUp Pro Desktop, a 3D modeling Computer-Aided Design (CAD) program for a broad range of drawing and design applications - including architectural, interior design, industrial and product design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering, theater, film and video game development.
