Sketchup has released 2026 version today. When may we expect a 2026 install version from Maxwell Render?

Considering how long a version for Sketchup 2025 took? Not holding my breath.........

Hello!

Now that Maxwell for Cinema has been released, the plugin for SketchUp is the next one in the queue. We'll add compatibility for SketchUp 2026 and try to improve 2 or 3 things that we have on our list. Hopefully, it won't take a long time.

In any case, as I mentioned Mike in a support case, it is currently possible to make the plugin work on SketchUp 2026 just by copying the load_maxwell.rb file from C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2025\SketchUp\Plugins
into
C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2026\SketchUp\Plugins (if the Plugins folder doesn't exist, just create it manually), in the case of Windows.

On MacOS, you should copy it from
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2025/SketchUp/Plugins
into
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2026/SketchUp/Plugins

Best regards,
