There are NO dates for SU 7.

I wholeheartedly agree with the other Belgomite.

Better late and good, than a sloppy wrap.

As Stinkie said, it doesn't need to be filled to the top with lots of new features.
I think most of us are concerned that Google will make Sketchup a bit more 'solid' in the first place, in a way the software will run more smoothly on complexer models.
Now is the moment to make Sketchup future proof for a lot of years to come.

The hardware has gone through a significant development cycle last years (multicore, 64 bit, etc..). Catching up software wise is the biggest challenge.

This does not only apply to Sketchup, it is a given for all software development, but even more important in the 3D segment as 3D software directly benefits from this hardware boost (if coded accordingly).

Since Sketchup is no longer a 'standalone app', considering all the 3td party software (render engines,plugins, etc..) that is been developed for the SU 'platform', Google now has the responsability to maintain this platform as good as it can and provide a solid base for further growth.

Hear here! (choose the spelling of your choice, i couldnt work it out.)

I can wait if indeed it will be a really good product that will live up to the anticipation.

Of course We waited 20 years for the new Star Wars Prequels and look how well that turned out.

I missed a little Wink- or Sad smiley behind that sentence to indicate sarcasm.

honestly, I hated little "Uups, I saved the world"-Anakin!!!

well the Bible can be inspiration for quite some freaky stories. should read it at some point (only from a narrator's point of fiew - its too late to convert to this believe).
(if you draw inspiration from "Mein Kampf" you are a thread for your surroundings and should be locked up )

It's only too late when you're dead.
...
are you dead?

plot-paris · 10 Sept 2008, 09:13

not entirely dead yet. but have figured out sort of my own theory of believe, that is a lot more scientific and suites me quite well.

I lost my faith in God as proposed in Christian Religion when attending confirmatiion classes.
to make me believe in an old bearded man shaping the world, something very dramatic has to happen in my life (probably involving complete amnesia)

oh dear, utterly off topic again. should start a thread in the corner bar about that. in fact, isn't there a huge thread about believe (that I always wanted to read but didn't find the time)?

Bruell · 10 Sept 2008, 21:15

sorry everybody still a bit off topic....

isn't it amazing in witch ways we get distracted while waiting for the true Revelation? SU 7 ???!!!!

I would never have thought about worshipping Joe Pesci
now if I choose someone to be my God impersonation it will be someone like Ian McKellen (with a beard - beard=old and wise)

but George Carlin has to be right. if there is a God, why does he not listen to millions of prayers asking for SketchUp7?
and if he doesn't because it is not in his divine plan... WHY IS SU7 NOT IN HIS DIVINE PLAN!

Bruell · 13 Sept 2008, 03:22

It is i his divine plan, but the humans involved are kind of slow, and HE wants to make sure that it's gonna be Damn DIVINE !!!

Jesus saves.. God is real.. We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.

~John 3:16 (King James Version) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

what I allways asked myself is: if I don't believe in God, will I nontheless have to pass his divine judgement?
anyway, in my personal belief all my deeds will have an effect on my surroundings. and when I die, all the energy within me, good as well as bad forces, will have an influence on my surroundings, will dye the collective spirit of all beings so to speak, for good and for bad. that is enough reason for me to try to have a positive influence on the world; because even if I am only one person of more than 6 billion - it makes a difference if I spread love or hate.
so I think basically it is the same goal as passing God's judgement, only with a differetn explanation.

or as "the shepherd" in "Serenity" used to say: "It doesn't matter in what you believe. Just believe in something!"

as long as the Google guys are aware of their responsibility, I am confident that they will live up to the "Prophecy of the 7th SketchUp"

Oh no - please guys, let's NOT have religious arguments here. The original comments were meant to be light hearted and were from (AFAIK) atheists. We are all here to chat about SketchUp and have a laugh.

Yes we digress from time to time, but in my experience, debates about god lead nowhere. Sadly it seems to me that most Christians who post about religion on forums don't tend to have much of a sense of humour and take things far too seriously. This isn't intended to be a criticism, most that I have met are lovely people, but utterly incapable of having a light-hearted discussion about religion, so I think it's better if we just don't go there.

plot-paris · 15 Sept 2008, 07:43

O.K. shall we simply declare SketchUp as our God within the realms of "SketchUp Discussions" (and move all topics relating to other divine entities to the "corner bar").

so SketchUp is our God; and Google is the Prophet. of course we must understand that our dear Prophet has quite a tough job translating God's will into a language, mortals like us are able to understand. and lets hope that Google listens to all these other people with a connection to the Allmighty's thoughts, who wrote psalms like "OnSurfaceTools", "JointPushPull", "FreeFormDeformator" or "Subdivide&Smooth" and draw inspiration from this valuable source.

all we can do is wait for the big day to come. but the fact that a new "SketchUp for Dummies" is on it's way, is somehow reasuring to me.
(by the way: why is there no "Christianity for Dummies"? I could do with that )

I'm not being critical, I'm only sharing the Gospel Truth. Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship with Jesus.

Great, fantastic. Now ... back to SketchUp? If you leave God out of this, I'll go easy on the Nazi references. Seriously, Bigstick has a point.

Well - The part where someone said "O.K. shall we simply declare SketchUp as our God within the realms of "SketchUp Discussions" (and move all topics relating to other divine entities to the "corner bar")" Why was God mensioned in that sentence?
