        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.

                    (context menu) "make unique texture" is a funny function. you click any face that has a texture assigned and use this function to create a new texture that represents the outline of the selected face...

                    don't know what you can use it for though 😄

                      Until Google makes the release notes, it's like Columbus navigating around the ocean trying to find India before Amerigo Vespucci made the first usable maps about the New World! 😄

                      Good discovery, my friends!

                        Maybe, it's like Make Unique with components. Then you can edit that new material without affecting the other things that have it.

                              ah. what I ment is this function:

                              http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5238/uniquetexturelb6.jpg

                              ok. and now I understand, what the purpose of it is. you can right click a face, select "make unique texture", just with simple colour. then you right click the new texture in the material browser and use the "edit texture" function to be linked to photoshop. now you can do any changes to this perfectly uv-mapped texture.
                              a great thing is, that when you save the image file in photoshop and return to SketchUp, the texture is automatically updated (no need to manually reload it).

                              however, the tool would be even more useful, if you could export an image format that supports transparency to preserve the cutout form for photoshop use.
                              and it is a bit sad, that you can only selec one face at a time. so you can't select e.g. 7 faces and create one unique texture for them. you have to create seperate textures for each face instead.

                              I hope Google will reveal lots of such hidden functions when they make their documentation public. otherwise SU7 is a huge disappointment to me. there were so many really useful suggestions mentioned here in the forum - non of which has been implemented into the new release (and I am not talking about major new tools, but about things as simple as twice clicking an entity in the outliner to rename it or getting advanced control over layers (e.g. select content) with a context menu).

                              [Edit]but they fixed the problem of group bounding boxes not aligning to newly defined coordinate axes! thank you so much, Google! that will make modelling a lot easier!!! 😍

                              it is the small things in life, that give you real joy...

                                    Looking at layout(dynamic scale things 😉), it's great too!

                                      I downloaded as fast as I could. Dynamic components will be very useful, almost worth it alone, if they are well implemented.

                                        Make texture unique works as Whaat's explode photomatched texture 😆 from his Indigo exporter.
                                        I am glad to see SU7 finally.

                                          All I really wanted was multi-core support, but sadly it is nowhere to be seen as of yet.. hugely disappointed. 2D drafting within sketchup was also something I was eagerly awaiting.. nowhere to be seen either - Layout looks better but I need to evaluate it more for the moment.. Unless Google releases some magic list of features and points me towards some magic button I missed, then unfortunately it is time to leave for another modeler.. 😞

                                            Yep. It lets you edit a layout while updates the SU view.. maybe it uses a second core then! 😄
