Sketchup 2017 Alternates
 

Lost my old PC and Sketchup 2017. I am wary of using some of the versions from unofficial sites out there. Has anyone moved onto later packages or switched to different modelling software?

Nope, Sketchup 2017 still works fine and I still use it. As for alternatives.... Even though Blender may have more advanced functions or built-in tools, I don't feel like investing a ton of time to learn it.

The easiest is to just get Sketchup 2017 back. Mytreds has it in his post here:

thank you! Sadly, when I went to look for an obj exporter thread it was mine also the last time my computer died. :o
