It is a bit clumsy to use especially if you have fat digits but it just another feature that the tablet/phone viewer has which is not implemented in the desktop version. And like I said earlier, you have control of your layers inside the model and can turn them on and off, and as well as this, you have the tape measure tool at your disposal. The viewer does not display fancy linework styles like pencil or freehand look lines but will display watermarks and other rendering attributes. The tablet viewer is quite a smooth experience where you can use your finger to orbit around or pinch the screen to zoom in and out. The tablet viewer can display files that have been shared on the 3d Warehouse which is nice if you want to share your project with the whole world, but you can also use Dropbox or if you have a Trimble Connect account you can load up your model files using this more private method. It is not a lot of money but just a bit of a barrier to freely showing your work off to your client. You have to pay for the mobile device viewers unfortunately - they are not free and will cost A$15 which is an unfortunate impasse because if you want to let a client view your model on their phone or tablet, they will have to purchase the viewer. I say that this is surprising because while you have no layer control in the desktop viewer, you have layer control in the mobile device viewers. You also have some control over the your display style attributes and the shadow settings, but surprisingly no control over layers. It works very much like Sketchup where you can orbit, pan, zoom, walk and look around with all of the standard navigation tools in the basic toolset. The desktop (or laptop) version of the viewer is free to download from the Sketchup Viewer webpage which can be found at: The official Sketchup viewer is multi-platform meaning you can get a version for both Mac and PC desktop computers, there is a tablet and phone version of the viewer that supports iOS and Android devices, and there also appears to be compatibility with the Microsoft Hololens which is a holographic augmented reality headset - though when I tried to follow the steps to purchase a viewer for the headset it lead to a dead-end on the website (love to hear if anyone has tried this).

Which one is the best is really a matter of preference though I prefer the official Sketchup ones because they take best advantage of any scenes or styles that I might have saved inside my model. There are quite a lot of model viewers around that will load a Sketchup model and give you some basic controls.

Every now and then you may wish to present the 3d model that you have been working on to your client.
