          Thanks to google/su developers!
          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! 😄

                  I am afraid you won't find one.
                  Interesting can be an interact tool and what we can do with parametric components.

                    I think the best and most capable modeler to look at is modo (http://www.luxology.com). It will be releasing a skethcup plugin in the coming days. I did some testing on the plugin and I can say it works really well but does have some downfalls. Modo itself is extremely powerful with a small learning curve. It comes with great UV tools and supports animation along with an amazing renderer. 401 will be coming out and it should support volumetric lighting and hair along with improvements to animation. While I would love to say that I will continue to put 100% of my efforts into Sketchup, I just cant. While I will never lose it from my workflow, I doubt it will stay my main modeling tool. The lack of multicore support in this day and age is ridiculous. I really was hoping things like the shadow bug to be fixed but that is not the case either. It seems to be more of a dressed up version 6 than a full release.

                    My two cents and a bit of a rant so I apologize.

                      Just a thought, but what a waste of paper the NDA's have been. What's the point in making Non-Disclosure Agreements when there's nothing to disclose anyway?

                      I'm just hoping that this isn't the real SU7. If it is then it's frightening that they are still charging $500 for the Pro version and it's even more frightening that Google would allow it to be released in such a shoddy manner.

                        I am not sure whether it has been stated or not but the only way to get Version 7 is to upgrade your pro version or to but pro 7. I tried downloading the version 7 free and it is still version 6.4. I guess most of us will need to wait until Monday to get the bosses credit card or wait for the free version of 7 to be made available.

                          As a teacher (and user of the free version) I probably come at sketchup from a different viewpoint. For me, new tools like interact ( have a look at the mailbox component ) and dynamic components open up lots of new possibilities and will further help to motivate my students.

                          If I were a professional user,however, I would be very disappointed with this new release, which feels much more like 6.5 rather than 7.

                            I think they have put all effort into dynamic components. I believe we can squeeze a lot from them.

                              why do not you think about crisis in gsu development? it's not only economical crisis 😆 , also incredible investigations of D.Bur, Fredo, Whaat, Adam, Jim and many... as several months i saw only game in su 😎 (with webdialogs playing, from Google)
                              I think that some gsu's devs are crying in corner, decide that su 7 need to appear...
                              (i read article that Google management decreased influence at non-moneymaking products, some rumors about youtube...maybe reason to... 🤓 )

                                It took 2 years? 😲

                                I guess even Autodesk (sorry for mentioning)make more efforts every 12 month..

                                      $500 seems pretty reasonable to me.

                                      Id be interested if you could come up with any other packages that can compete at a similar price.

                                      Cant hep but agree about the nature of the release though, seems like quite a bad way of doing things.

                                          Anyway, can somebody from GSU team(they are at forum now) say, is this leak of info or something?
                                          somebody expects appearance at beginning of 2009....

                                            It's not a comparison between Sketchup Pro and other packages, it's a comparison between Pro and the free version.

                                            I's seriously doubt the thinking of anyone who bought the Pro version. Even if it was on a company account, surely most people are honest enough not to waste their companies money?
