Starting with SketchUp 2022.0, universal binaries are supported. The framework is 64-bit, and can be found in the SketchUp C SDK for macOS. Building and releasing an application using the SketchUp C API for macOS requires including amework.

SketchUp 2023 was built with target SDK 12.1. Using a different Platform Toolset will likely cause the plugin to fail to load and cause SketchUp to crash. SketchUp 2017, 2018, and 2019 for Windows were built using Visual Studio 2015 SP1, and so plugins should be built with the Platform Toolset set to Visual Studio 2015 (v140). Due to Microsoft binary compatibility, the runtime DLLs remain named '-v140.dll'Īlternatively the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Packages can be used, which can be found here: Also, the following C runtime DLLs must be included: msvcp140.dll and msvcr140.dll. Building and releasing an application using the SketchUp C API for Windows requires including SketchUpAPI.dll and SketchUpCommonPreferences.dll, which can be found in the SketchUp C SDK for Windows. The C API library for Windows is built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 (v142). The online C API documentation can be found here: SketchUp C API Online Documentation Build and Release Considerations Windows The documentation contains reference material for all functions, data structures, and enumerations in both the SketchUp C API and the SketchUp Importer/Exporter interface. The SketchUp Importer/Exporter Interface allows you to create native SketchUp importer and exporter modules that are available directly within SketchUp as an import or export option. It can create new ones as well as read or modify existing ones.

This API interacts directly with SketchUp files (.skp). The SketchUp C API is an interface for reading and writing data to and from SketchUp models.
