Sounds very useful! How will this integrate with the StyleBuilder?
+1! You forgot to mention the LO integration.
SU 7 will sell the Pro version as severely handicapped and add all the new GE/GW features (buttons that make you go: "oooh, dats purdy") will be integrated into the free version. There will also be an in-model advertising component to SU7 so whenever you name a component say "window" you'll be bombarded with links (in an interactive right hand side pane) to companies that sell windows, cleans windows, glaze windows, and of course the operating system as well, just to be complete.

I'm speechless but tell you what,
I've been looking at a lot of "similar to SU software" springing up around lately but I must say so far none have even gotten close.
And I'm confident that SU 7 is gonna be and SU 6 still is the best 3D tool you can have on your machine!
Looking forward to that mail tomorrow,......

You're damn right that SU still rules.
'Being a fine app' is, at the same time, the frustrating part for some of this forum users as well.
As we love to use Sketchup we are concerned about its further development.
I am sure I am not the only one who would hate to undergo the difficult learning curves of the dinosaur apps when SU 7 would turn out to be not that good or some basic requirements (like high poly/64 bit) would not be met.... -
Back in @last days, news was hard to get as well.
But I do remember that, if a thread like this stayed on long enough, Someone of the @last team (often Jim Holman) would drop in to cool the hot potatoe.A simple statement like : '...this will be adressed' or 'no promises, but we are working on this' would be enough for me.
And we all know which topics need that reply.A lot of people build their jobs around SU. It's disrespectful to leave them in the cold. Amen.
-
Amen
-
Given the fact that I don't use SU professionally, I hadn't looked at it this way yet. But yeah: amen.
-
Amen!
(my job at the moment is entirely SketchUp related) -

I went away from Basecamp 2008 feeling SketchUp was in good hands with the current pool of developers. Basecamp was an opportunity to meet & talk with many of them. There are significantly more of them working on it now vs. previous versions. I was impressed that Google offers them opportunities to explore areas of their personal interest. The impact is they seem to be encouraged & supported to explore SketchUp on a deeper level, pushing it, trying out alternate approaches, all with the ultimate shared goal of making it better. They genuinely seem to enjoy their work and the team they have. They certainly seemed driven to make SU even better.
Yes they are tight lipped. I trust there will be a v7 when they feel it is ready.

That's the feeling I got when I read Chopra's book - that there's genuine love there. I am somewhat torn between feeling worried, and being confident 7 will be great. On a bad day, that is. Mostly, I'm confident.
If I'd have to guess, I'd say the much requested high poly support will in fact be integrated. Some additional modeling tools, perhaps, but not that many.
Would I, if I were to make the decisons over at Google, and if high poly support were added, be open about what to expect from the upcoming version of SU? No. I'd aim for a surprise attack - and I'd market it like it was World War 3.
So, from a user's point of of view, I'm annoyed by Google's modus operandi. But as a former marketing professional, I understand it - heck, I applaud it. As I said: torn.

Yeah, glad you noticed that. I remmeber when that thread was posted. Back when I was struggling in vain to be an active groups member.....

Yeah, I also remember that thread. Actually it was me who "warned" the SU Team about it then.

I bet SU 7 will be integrated in GE what ever the next release is going to be. HO HO

i don't think SU 7 even exists.

Well I can't blame you considering this
.
The silence about Sketchup is killing (except for the news SU will get a Lively Plugin).Google seems to shoot its arrows on 'integration with other Google applications'.
But what about the pure 3D modelers features?It is starting to piss me off to be honest.
This thread can be deleted for what I am concerned.
20 pages of spilled electronic ink.
