Sketchup 8 Portable

Most corporate or school computers lock down installation privileges. You cannot run an installer (.msi or .exe setup) without an administrator password. Since SketchUp 8 Portable does not write to the registry, you can launch it from your user folder or USB drive without any admin elevation.

Imagine visiting a client’s office. Instead of bringing a heavy laptop, you carry a 256MB USB drive. You plug it into their computer, open your .skp file, and make real-time edits to the design during the meeting. You leave the file on their system, but your software goes with you. sketchup 8 portable
