Is there a downloadable version of Sketchup that contains enough features to be aber to draft furniture plans? The free version of the current revision seems to be good for drawing a box or triangle. Are older software revisions available that have full functionality. I canjot afford the cost of the new version.

What are you trying to draw? I have no issues creating anything with the latest version. What problems are you encountering?
The current web based version, SketchUp Free is certainly capable of more than just triangles and squares. I've used it to create some furniture models and it works quite well. That said, you can still get SketchUp 2017 Make which is a desktop version from sketchup.com/download/all Like SketchUp Free, it is available for hobbyist use.

Older free versions like 2017.2016,2015 are all still available. The advantage to the older versions is that there are plugin and extensions you can add to make drawing much faster.
