Why downgrade SketchUp 2023 to 2021?

SketchUp files are not backwards compatible - a file saved in SketchUp 2023 cannot be opened in SketchUp 2021 without conversion. This is a common headache when you receive files from clients or collaborators using a newer version, or when your studio hasn't upgraded yet.

DownConvert bridges the 2 versions between 2023 and 2021in one click. No SketchUp Pro subscription ($399/year) required just to save in an older format.

What is preserved

  • Geometry, groups and components
  • Materials and textures (when supported by SketchUp 2021)
  • Layers, scenes and camera views
  • Model hierarchy and structure
