Are you ready for SketchUp 7 news?

One of the new features will be called Nibble, This feature will progressively Eat away at your model until eventually there is nothing left. The process can be controlled and the amount of nibble and the rate of nibble and when to stop the nibble are user controlled.

I also heard that they were thinking of features called "lick" and "suck" until the marketing people thought about the slogan ...

I think new version will be much different. They could call it SuckIt Up 1.0... beta ??

Now taking seriously. I have an impression that Google is preparing something similar to the 'Chrome' but in 3D world. It takes so long because:

they are(?) almost rewriting the whole thing
Google SU Team members were excited at Base Camp - because they are working on an 'open source(?)' new approach to 3D modelling and because they are able involve their own talents and ideas
they are(?) creating Linux version as well

I wish it was true

LOL, could be a great thread, I will start.

SU7 is taking so long because:

They are moving the Sketchup department from Boulder to Wassilla, Alaska to avoid the 'High poly army' from gathering if it does not have features they want ...who's gonna picket in Alaska in winter?
