In either list view or thumbnail view, each model has a file options menu. This can make it a bit easier to find things in a large project. In list view, you can sort your file list by name, last modified date, or file size. If you have a lot of files stored in your Project, you may find it useful to change from the default thumbnail view to list view ( ). When you do, just double-click it's listing or single-click its name. When you choose to Open a file from Trimble Connect, you'll need to navigate to Project where you saved your file - probably the SketchUp folder if you have a Free subscription - to find your file.

If this happens, don't worry, just use the Trimble Connect tab to find and open your file. If you clear your browser cache, use another browser, or use another device, you won't see your recent files. Your list of recent files is actually cached (or stored) in the browser that you SketchUp for Web with. This is probably the fastest way to resume working on a model saved in Trimble Connect.

If you choose to open a recent file - a model that you recently opened or saved in SketchUp for Web - simply double-click its listing in the Home tab (or single-click its file name). Tip: You can also open SKP model files stored on your computer in the Home tab. It's always a good idea to do a manual save before closing SketchUp. You can also trigger a manual save by clicking the Save command in the top left of your screen. Now, as you continue modeling, SketchUp for Web will auto-save your model every few minutes.

When you've picked a location in Trimble Connect, click the Save Here button.

Within a project, you can click the “Add folder” button to organize your work within a project. With a Free subscription, you have access to one project, simply called 'SketchUp.' With paid subscriptions, you can create more projects at.

In the Trimble Connect dialog, first, choose a Project to save your model in.

In either case, a Trimble Connect dialog will open.

After creating a new model, click either the 'Untitled' file name or the 'Save' command in the upper left of your screen.

After you've created a new model, one of the first things you may want to do is save it to Trimble Connect.
