If you choose to download SketchUp Pro for a Trial Period, SketchUp Pro may be made available to you without charge for the Trial Period for your evaluation purposes of its functionality. That will enable others to open your files. Unless the Trimble SketchUp policy changes to allow the non-Pro version to continue after the trial period, I suggest FG SketchUp users stay with the 2015 version. Many of us can't or don't want to pay for the Pro software licence and if anyone who uses the 2016 version wants others to look at their files ( if/when they need assistance) the files can't be opened. I suggest that we (FG Scenery modellers) keep using the 2015 version.
