    Good for you! Seriously!

    For the rest of us, a few notes on how you accomplished this would be sha-weet! I think sketch up is the most approachable 3d program, but all my “post Windows” attempts have resulted in crashes and freezes. 😥

      you have to keep in mind that you can’t even install SU24 with Wine, so a portable version is a must which mean sail the high seas is the only way to obtain it (appnee dot com)

      • here is how I did it in order (you need a portable SketchUP2024 and latest version of visual c++ 64bit and 32bit)
      • 1, install Lutris (not sure if it work with Bottles or plain wine but this is the only way I know works)
      • 2, install Wine normally (sudo pacman -S wine) it should come with system 9.17 or higher
      • 3, open Lutris and let it download dependencies
      • 4, create a new “game” entry inside Lutris set Runner to system 9.17 and executable location to visual c++ and install it normally
      • 5, if you try to run SU now (change location from visual c++ to SketchUP exe) it will crash to fix that you need to install a windows component inside winetrick (by click on the glass wine icon on the bottom>winetrick>Select the default wineprefix>install a Windows DLL or component>ucrtbase2019)
      • 6, now you should be able to run it but you might see a black screen, to fix that you just have to restart the app a few time then you should be able to click on the check box and it take you to the home screen, it will crash the first time you open a template/model then you can just reopen it and can create a template just like normal
      • 7, you’re Golden
