      The dynamic component feature is nice. Something I've been hoping for. Though I'm surprised to see it as a ruby. Why not a native feature so it'll be faster?
      And I can see some use in the make unique texture. ...but, I really do not see why is is marketed as a major version. Feels more like a point release.
      Importing 3D files is still limited to DWG which has no materials, or .3ds which is a really old format with many limitations. .fbx anyone?
      And printing a parallel view to scale is still limited to the Standard views. Why? There's a number of things that I really thought would have been addressed.

      And does SU7 link the default components to Google Warehouse? No more local libraries? (except the ones you create yourself..?)

      It'll be interesting to see the official announcements. So far I have to say that the experience of trying out SU7 has been a bit of an anticlimax compared to the expectations due to the long wait.

      Besides dynamic components I'm, currently finding it somewhat hard to justify an upgrade. (All though I will upgrade. But I won't feel too great about it...)

      (btw, SU7 says in the Pref that I use an OpenGL mode with no anti-aliasing, but I'm still seeing AA that looks like x8. Using Geforce 8800GT)

                Layout 2 appears to be absolutely fantastic at first glance. 2D drafting really does seem possible in layout now with the option to export finished drawings as jpegs or png's - very useful. The snap system feels far better and it is easy to change line weights, line type and colour. If only multi-core was supported this would feel like the replacement to Autocad. Unfortunately, large scenes, highly populated with images or models are still just as slow as ever (in my immediate opinion). I just pray that something is rectified regards multi-core support.. For the moment I will retract my grief regards 2d drafting, it all hangs on multi-core support now

                    Hey Stu, 'they're' on the way??? how many other Apps' compare to the flexibility and reach that SU offers?

                    I'm genuinely curious...

                        Hi,

                        Upgrade cost $95

                        I did dowloaded it and paid 95$ but there is no information on how to get the licence information I paid for
                        Does anyone has recovered their licence? If yes, how did you proceed?

                        Salutations (Best regards) Bert

                              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..

                                  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.

                                  Have I mentioned how much of a laugh I get out of some of the Signatures on here!

                                    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. ๐Ÿ˜•

                                      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.

                                          Unless im mistaken, DCs arent ruby, theyre straight SU.

                                          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 ๐Ÿ˜„].
                                            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? ๐Ÿ˜„

                                            ED. So now Ive got it for free I'll stop bitching!!.....Great Job Guys!!! ๐Ÿ˜
