Older versions are not being updated.
Workaround for older versions: Save the file in the new version of SketchUp (version 13.0.3689) and specify “Save as type” to be “SketchUp Version 8.” It can then be imported into your AutoCAD-based product.
SketchUp is a premier 3D design software that truly makes 3D modeling for everyone, with a simple to learn yet robust toolset that empowers you to create whatever you can imagine. For AutoCAD and AutoCAD Architecture users, I have not found the Materials options of any particular value. When you 'Export Texture Maps' you get a really neat folder with the render materials as you might use them in SketchUP or other modeling/rendering programs but not as you would use them in AutoCAD. SketchUp is still the best software for sketching. Its greatest problems are with what happens after sketching. The AutoCad format is still the lingua franca used in exchanging information between design disciplines and applications.In AEC/BIM it has been supplemented with IFC, but the need still exists. When SketchUp imports a CAD file, SketchUp strips the information to its basic geometric components. So no matter what AutoCAD file format you use (such as 2013 or 2018), the end result is essentially the same. To maximize compatibility between a CAD file and SketchUp, however, saving your CAD file in the Release 13 or Release 14 format works best.
