A plea... Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much. Sincerely, your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna Always scroll to the bottom of the page for the main download link. We don't believe in fake/misleading download buttons and tricks. The link is always in the same place. Hew v1.0.0 👉 A free, open-source, cross-platform 3D modeler with a familiar SketchUp-style workflow and solids-first design. Hew is a free and open-source 3D modeling application designed around the approachable workflow familiar to SketchUp users. Draw directly on faces, push and pull shapes into three dimensions, snap to endpoints, midpoints and axes, and enter exact measurements while working. Unlike traditional surface-based modeling, Hew creates discrete, watertight solid objects that do not automatically weld together when they touch. Objects are combined only when you explicitly use operations such as Union, Subtract or Intersect. Hew includes tools for drawing, precision modeling, materials, organization, annotation, printing and preparing models for fabrication or 3D printing. It can import existing SketchUp 2017 files as well as COLLADA, glTF and STL models, while its own open .hew format is documented and designed to avoid locking your work into a proprietary format. Models can be exported to formats including glTF, STL, 3MF, USDZ and SVG. The program also includes groups, reusable components, tags, saved scenes and an Outliner for organizing complicated models. Materials and textures can be applied to faces and objects, while dimensions, leader text and 3D text provide annotation tools. Hew can print drawings at an exact scale, tile full-size templates across multiple sheets, save PDF output and create vector SVG drawings. ![]() Features: Solids-first modeling creates discrete, watertight objects instead of automatically welding touching geometry Familiar SketchUp-style drawing and direct-modeling workflow Line, rectangle, circle, arc and polygon drawing tools Draw directly on existing faces Push/Pull tool for creating solids, reshaping faces and cutting holes Follow Me tool for sweeping profiles along paths Offset and Slice tools Move, Rotate and Scale tools with snapping, axis locking and exact values Copy objects and create repeated arrays Inference snapping to model geometry and axes Type exact, unit-aware dimensions while modeling Tape Measure and Protractor tools with guides Union, Subtract and Intersect boolean operations Live solid and watertight status for objects Nested groups for organizing related objects Reusable components that update their instances when edited Tags with visibility controls Outliner for navigating and organizing complex models Scenes save model views, visibility settings and other viewing information Materials, colors, textures and adjustable translucency Dimensions, radius and diameter callouts and leader text Creates extruded, watertight 3D text using installed fonts Personal Library for saving components, materials and complete models for reuse Imports SketchUp 2017 .skp files Imports COLLADA .dae, glTF and STL files Exports glTF, STL, 3MF, USDZ and SVG Open and documented .hew native file format Print drawings at an exact scale Tile full-size 1:1 templates across multiple sheets with trim marks Save drawings as PDF Shop Mode provides a phone-friendly model viewer for checking measurements Open models on a phone using a QR code AR viewing support on iPhone and iPad Full API and MCP server for scripting and external automation Desktop applications automatically check for updates Full browser-based version requiring no installation Web application can be self-hosted No account, subscription or paid feature tier required Supported operating systems: Windows 10 or later, x64 or ARM64 macOS 11 or later, Intel or Apple Silicon Linux with WebKitGTK 4.1, including Ubuntu 22.04 or later, Fedora 36 or later and most current distributions; x64 or ARM64 Web version: modern WebGL2-capable browser Supported languages: English Changes: v1.0.0 08-24-26 The personal Library is now available in the browser, allowing components, materials and complete models to be stored in browser storage. Chromium-based browsers can also point the Library at a folder on disk. Menus were reorganized into a cleaner, consistent layout across platforms. Object commands such as Group, Make Component and boolean operations were moved to the Object menu. Panels were moved to the View menu. The Axes tool was renamed Drawing Axes. Help Search can find commands by name. Security and correctness auditing resulted in fixes across the modeling kernel, importers, self-hostable relay, desktop shell and browser build. Fixed malformed models potentially overflowing the importer or passing invalid numeric values to the kernel. Fixed browser tabs potentially interfering with each other's crash-recovery snapshots. Fixed boolean operations refusing some imported geometry. Fixed groups containing component instances not moving the complete contents correctly. ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: This file has two hits on VirusTotal. We have confirmed these to be false positives.
