Are you ready for SketchUp 7 news?
-
That'll be hard...
-
Hopefully soon, Everyday I have been keeping watch for it online everywhere. Even at http://www.filehippo.com "Software updates web site".
-
Michael,
Make sure to watch it here...

I don't want any of the above.
I just want to be able to stay in Sketchup instead of having to go to AutoCAD.

So far, I have 181 models I made on my 3dwarehouse:

Any more new news on Sketchup 7 yet?
-
Nope. Im sure there will be a suitably large and obvious thread when the time for news does come, though.
-
My guess would be Christmas.
I estimate this because only two months ago there was an opening @Google SU team for a C++ programmer.
That could mean some serious coding still needed to be done. Count in the beta testing period (in my knowledge the beta didn't leave the office yet following the talk Lewis had with the G guys about a week ago) and you know it can't be due the next few months.
Unless we're talking about a real small update.... -

He he .... I don't think so.
I think it just means someone is doing some coding for SU in C++.Cool, just checking. It would be a cool feature to add to sketchup.

Any more new news about Sketchup 7? Havn't seen any more new forum replies lately..
-
Cool. 5 yrs, sounds like a major upgrade with hundreds more of new plugins built into Sketchup 7. Just checking. Hopefully they can fix the slice/clipping bug. Been waiting on that.
-
I would suggest not holding your breath on that one.
Did you know that Silo lets you set the clipping plane distance? How sophisticated is that?!
-
Cool, didn't know that till now, how do I do that?

Rhino also has a tool for setting clipping plane distance...how cool is that? Given the stupid news about Google "Lively" today, I think I better resolve to port all my architectural projects over to Rhino more or less permanently now. SU is destined to be a toy for tweenies and social misfits who can't handle reality.
I think I'll be giving both Silo and Modo a spin, as well. No reason to pretend anymore that SU is to be used for any serious design work. And to think that I have had shouting matches with people about SU, defending it as a legitimate tool for architetural design.
I wonder if this could be taken as a case study: how to take a disruptive technology and make it so puerile that its most advanced users become ashamed of it. Hmmm...that's pretty long for a title.

Lewis,
We have made the switch (not really a switch as SU is still our primary design tool) to modo and I could not be more impressed. I will say that if you go the route of modo I would suggest the signature training dvds. They explain the workings of modo very well. They are also close to releasing the SU plugin that will bring in a SU with textures into modo. They had it for 301 but not yet for 302. The rendering capabilities are excellent as well once you get your hands around it.

Thanks, Scott. Apparently I get academic pricing on Modo, as well. I just need to finish one high-priority project before I can jump into that. --Lewis
