Google Sketchup Pro 7 is out

utiler

Thanks Coen, seems the 'watch a video' link isn't there for SketchUp 7 Pro page, only linked for the LayOut page so far...
I guess we give it a day or so; can't imagine how many people are trying to watch it at once!!!!
Nice a clear info though..

Hey I realy like the SB Style they have shown on the Style Builder Page.....

I just downloaded SU7 Pro yesterday and can't wait to try all this new features. They all in general look pretty good. I'm gonna stay positive about the new release dispite all the heckelers. I really like the fact that you can scale a component and it will redraw to scale.

I'm pretty much disappointed, I will wait until the formal release comes out to see if there is more that I'm not seeing, my .02 cents.

glenn

Great news about the release.
To update from Pro 6.4.1.1.2, to SU7 is it $495 or a reduced upgrade fee?
Thanks,
Glenn

sorry, I didn't scroll down far enough. I just found the $95 upgrade posting.

Sounds good Coen, looking forward to the new site...

I think you're mistaken. Strange that they would use Ruby for this one. Oh well...
After a bit of initial disappointment, I am starting to get more excited about the new features of SU7. I think dynamic components will make things interesting. There's lots of potential there. I hope we'll get a detailed list of Ruby changes soon.

Yeah Coen, the pluses for SU 7 seem to be adding up and im really looking forward to using the intersection capabilities.
But, I dont think Im excited enough to do a Pro upgrade [and besides the AUD exchange rate is lousy at the moment ].
So, Ive downloaded the free version, loaded it with Rubies and Podium and on the occasion I need to do a DWG export I will save as V6 and open it in my SU6 Pro. I just cant think of a good reason to spend that $180AUD or so....Anybody?

ED. So now Ive got it for free I'll stop bitching!!.....Great Job Guys!!!

It's under the Tools folder in SU7. Though, all the .rb files are crypted.

Edit: i stand corrected, they are ruby.

Indeed it is, jim pointed it out as well

i love new dyn.components, just switch on formula button at examples of DC.
And you can see dependence values. it's incredible features!

Stinkie

Yeah, them components are good.

"Scale without stretching
New Dynamic Components are special: they're programmed to know what they are. When you use the Scale tool on a dynamic staircase, it automatically adds or removes steps as you make it bigger or smaller. No more stretching, no more distortion."

I made a wish on this forum for texture editing with an outside photo editer, so I'm very pleased that SU7 has that function.

have try psd-format(7-n can import it) by using Adobe PhotoShop?

hi stu, I havent tried v7 yet, but if the improvements to layout are as they say, it will be worth the 180 for that alone, i hope to throw the other cad apps away for ever!

Stinkie

Has anyone tried opening a really heavy model with 7 yet? Just read this comment somewhere else those are handled with greater ease. Seems a bit unlikely.

Baz, I can operate ACAD LT in my sleep and from the reports coming in about Layout 2, dont throw away your cad apps yet
