        35 minutes to download 75mb. Not much on the Bonzai3d website to read while waiting. All google's fault I suppose.

            Drew a box. Drew a rectangle on the box and "intruded" it. Drew a circle on the box and extruded that. Clicked on Derive > Revolve and it crashed. Probably 1 minute until the first crash!

              Server practically Slashdotted.

              If nothing else demonstrates that SketchUp has "jumped the shark", that does.

              I don't think SU has jumped the shark. Google just needs to pick a direction for SU or at least share what their direction of development is at this point. If it wasn't for all the script writers here at SCF and around the world extending SU's capabilites, I wouldn't be using it. It's starting to concern me that Google is letting there users develop their software. A big part of my workflow with SU now involves searching for scripts to do what SU, in my opinion, should have come with. This is getting tiresome, and I think beginning to start to push people away from SU to something with some 'out of the box' power, or at least keep looking for that 'sketchup killer'.

                It would be nice if their server didn't make me feel like I was on 56k again. The speed it goes at the moment is sooooooooooooooo slow.

                  .

                  that amounts to "jumping the shark."

                    Ok so i played with the Windows version and was having issues.

                    On OSX it is behaving much better. I can actually get to the grips and manipulate objects. Could not do that on Windows or if i did i was pointing at something else 🀣

                    On the Mac if i use my track pad i can only zoom out πŸ˜•

                    Loving the reshape tools, Twist, Bend, Bulge they all work in real time . Booleans work well too

                    Still finding the interface awkward πŸ˜•

                      I'm not completely disagreeing with you.

                      I'm curious as to how much longer the script writers are going to be willing to donate their time and effort to do what Google has had 3 years to do.

                          mine closes after 4-5 seconds πŸ˜‰ They call this beta? I think it is not even an alpha release.
                          I mean we have to enable compatibility mode in order to make it work in Vista. In software that came out in 2009, Ouch πŸ˜‰

                          I had my first meeting with products of this company in school, good old FormZ. Hated it. More then anything in my life. But was honestly hoping this will be better, but it looks so painfully familiar. I hope I am wrong and they turn it around. From a list of capabilities it sounds like a great software.

                            Well since it is not an extension of SketchUp I am placing it in the Hardware, Software & Gadgets section of the Corner Bar.

                              Pretty unstable...orbit camera control stopped almost immediately. Unintuitive, cumbersome tools. And to make selection with a crossing window requires you to choose another tool, on a flyout toolbar? Ouch.

                              Hmmm. Why in the world do they have to spell NURBS Nurbz ? Daft retrograde FormZ terminology!

                              Oops, crash.

                              Not ready for prime time.

                              But, since when did the general public get to see a SketchUp beta release? We have to give them that much credit.

                                It appears to be formβ€’Z in new knickers.

                                Seriously, it looks like the same app... a million different ways to draw a spline... working planes, all the floating palettes re the same.

                                I thought it was meant to be something new... 😞

                                    This struck me as odd as well.

                                    In any case, as Lewis said, this one isn't ready for prime time yet.

                                    Anyone else hoping MoI will have layers real soon?

                                        Great. I don't use MoI that often, but every time I open it, I let out a sigh of relief. That Gibson fellow is doing a great job, IMO. Versatile, easy-to-use, fast and stable app he's got there. And he's done it all by himself - you paying attention, Google?

                                        Mark my words: as soon as MoI got layers, I'm tossing SU in the bin. Yeah, I have been seeing a lot of eerie white screens lately. Raaaaaaaaah!
