As far as I know, that is really the only version of Sketchup that is free right now and that won't be updated in the future. I already have Sketchup 2017 downloaded on my computers and will probably continue to use that version until it stops working on either my PC or Mac. Kudos to Autodesk whose licensing is usually pretty brutal.

Someone else said it but I'll repeat it, you can use Fusion for free as a student or a startup with less than $100k in revenue per year. My two biggest complaints with Sketchup were 1) aligning and 2) model organization. If you're wanting to make plans it's still lacking some features that Sketchup has (notably dimensioning in perspective view) but I made it work. I just built a router table cabinet and made plans for it and did it start to finish in Fusion which was a big hurdle for me. The learning curve with Fusion is much greater than Sketchup but once you figure it out it's awesome. I have the same complaints with Sketchup. Its free for 30 days or non commercial useYes, yes, and yes.

(Did those points snap? Are those planes coplanar? Why did this face disappear?) I’m done with sketchup. The basic interaction is similar: draw in 2d and project into 3d using some operation. Seemed like I spent a lot of my time in sketchup trying to figure out what I did wrong since it wasn’t behaving. That exercise showed just how glitchy and flawed sketchup is. I recently learned fusion 360 (via online tutorials) since I just got a 3d printer.
