After installing the remote desktop app on your iPad, you need to set up remote access to your desktop computer. This involves installing a companion app or software on your computer. Follow the instructions provided by the remote desktop app to complete the setup process.
Step 3: Connect Your iPad to Your Computer
Once you have set up remote access, launch the remote desktop app on your iPad. You should see an option to connect to a computer. Tap on it and enter the necessary details like the IP address or hostname of your computer.

Step 4: Log In to Your Computer
After entering the required details, tap on “Connect” or “Log In” to establish a connection with your computer. Depending on the remote desktop app you are using, you may be prompted to enter your computer’s username and password. Enter the credentials and proceed.
Step 5: Launch SketchUp
Once connected to your computer, you should see your computer’s desktop on your iPad screen. Now, navigate to the Start menu or applications folder and find SketchUp. Double-click on the SketchUp icon to launch the application.
