      i was beeing ironic coen...but yes i completly agree with, that the priority is geometry handling.

      I'm using version 7 free because the new feature with lines intersecting themselves can be very useful for modeling. other than that i still find it hard to find diferences between 6 and 7 since nothing's changed, but i don't have speed changes betwen versions, or if it has any, for better or worse, for me it's not noticable.

      BTW nice cat Coen 😉

        I still believe version 6 is faster and smoother.

        Is it? Good thing I haven't upgraded then.

        I've been going back and forth between Silo/Modo and SU for the last couple of weeks. And I must say, even when working on extremely basic models, orbiting and panning are annoyingly slow in SU. I really hope the next update fixes that.

        By now, I've reached a point where the main reason why I keep using SU is ... Vray. Kinda sad, eh? 😄

          don't ditch skechup just yet stinkie.
          I'm currently going back to the "beggining" in my workflow, these means using 3ds Max again. And right now i'm replacing max for Blender (it's really good once you understand some basic stuff and know how everything works). But i can tell you something about sketchup: it really doens't matter which of the "Big Guns" 3d modelers you use, because for archetectual/geometrical and accurate modeling sketchup still wins in speed and "easy to do" matters, simply because of the "dynamic" snaps and the abily to "draw" and "divide" lines always with measures. So for me for this kinda modeling importing from sketchup is still the best option.

          Of course if you don't do much arch stuff and such then maybe it's time to move on... I'm also wainting for n-gons in blender and more accurate modeling tools to see if i can do the switch and keep everything inside one sofware and now keep jumping between them.

            Same here...and the fact that Sketchup is the only modeler that lets you design a building with a real time visual feedback and instant presentation look.

            I can't live with its slowlyness anymore though...
            Until there is an alternative as a design+ vray tool, I need to stick to it.
            3dsMax is great, but in an architecture firm where the designs constantly change, SU is the only valuable tool to do it.

              Neither can I. Still, I'd obviously miss it if I ditched it. It's perfect for what I do - the only thing it really lacks, is little more power. I cannot believe Google didn't adress this issue with 7 - but I'm hoping they'll do so with 8.
