        So far..........looks like
        1- Layout 2 included
        2- Style builder included
        3- Dynamic Components - looks very cool, especially whem combined with cost attributes

        A quick animation test indicates that the shadow bug is still there.

            Hi Frederik,

            I suspect they are installing bits from the bottom up. You can buy a license but it's not there on the main Download page yet. Quite possibly there will more updates to more pages, hour by hour, through the weekend. Once it's all in place, the official Press Release goes out, etc. After all, you can't go announcing it before folks can buy it ... Excuse me ... Vaporware? ... OK, I suppose you can announce it prematurely, but you shouldn't.

                Enavas,

                While that says Version 7 it is actually saying version 6 once downloaded. I did not finish the install just on case it was going to overwrite something. I would imagine if it truly was version 7 they would have fixed the install screen. I think I will wait for the official release and let them work the kinks out on the main page.

                  hmm...

                  edit - yes, it appears that SU7 is avail. for Pro version only at the moment. that's curious.

                  if it weren't for alexschreyer's post, and blog, I'd be deeply confused... thanks Alex!!!

                          Sorry I'm confused, are there more features to be added into SU7?

                              Remus is this a Beta? not a final release?

                              Well I'm installing the SU7 pro version now for the 8 hour trial. I'll upgrade my SU pro 6 license when I'm convinced its safe. I'll be checking out Layout 2 too, I really hope Google have sorted it out.

                              Ok installed
                              First thing I've found the desktop icon still has the same problem on Vista that SU6 does, it will open SU but it is very slow. Instead I ctrl-alt-deleted and right clicked >open with SU7< on an existing file, SU 7 opened straight away.

                              You can import psd files, interesting. I'm struggling to see any new tools though. Maybe they need to be discovered. Shadow bug, nice to see your still there.

                              Layout looks slightly better. Transparent backgrounds in SU windows and smoother toggling. But you still can't draw a thinner line than 0.1

                                Hi all,

                                First, SketchUp 7 is smart for intersecting overlapping lines.

                                Second, Shortcuts come from version 6, when you install plugins.

                                Let's continue exploring

                                Regards,

                                George

                                  ok a couple of things I've found, sorry if this is annoying and you have already found these things or wanted the fun of finding stuff.

                                  Component attributes looks very useful 😄
                                  Right click editing a texture can link to your image editor.
                                  Smooth tool is a lot more reactive than in SU7
                                  Option to make a component out of a section slice
                                  object toggles are nice!!!

                                  The anti-aliased setting does not improve the display quality on my machine, does it depend on certain graphics cards?

                                  Just a little thingI think I prefered SU6's red icons to SU7's Google blue. I'll be quiet now.

                                      Bit of a disaster

                                      SU7 has locked me out of SU6pro, it will not run. Can I just uninstall SU7?

                                      edit, yes that works.

                                      Is there a way to install SU7 wihout this happening? Sorry far too many posts from me, I really will shut up now.

                                        Any positive news about scene complexity? Does SU7 handle more polygons than before?

                                          Hmmm ... as far as I can see (I'm on a moderate laptop, atm) ... no. Hopefully, I'm wrong. So far, the much anticipated 7 looks like, as we say in Flanders, 'a fart in a bottle'.

                                          Best thing, probably, is to wait until a list of features is released.
