      That would be cool, especially they can fix the clipping bug in large models that are more then 6000' in diameter.

      Thats an openGL thing, if i remember correctly, so could be tricky to fix.

      Is there a way to find updates for OpenGl? I looked everywhere on the net but cannot find it..

        You can update your graphics drivers, but it wont fix the large model clipping thing.

          I have aired the idea before to make a community "OpenUp" opensource SketchUp replica and more. 😍
          The reason would be that Google probably never will release a opensource version of SU.
          As litte as they seem to be interested in making it a modern app.
          Making SU skins for other appz in a great idea but that would make all great rubys non functional. 😞

            But it is a great backup plan isn't it? πŸ˜„...In case our Googies don't make it happen...

              My SU wishlist:

              1. Multiple view window (front, rear, perspective views all open at once)
              2. Ability to select vertices
              3. Ability to use Onix tree storm as plugin
              4. Ability to handle onix trees without crushing

              is it to much to ask? i think yes....

                My wishlist:

                1. Import functions, I'd like to import .vrml's, etc.
                2. Multi-core support.
                3. Plug-in window? (similar to the 3D Warehouse window but shows popular plug-ins, etc)
                4. Orthographic view

                  I'd like a full-screen viewing mode, and a few more rendering options (i.e. shader settings for materials). And yeah, selecting vertices would be useful πŸ‘

                    I think it would be fantastic to have both - the current selection mode (where you can select all geometry) and specific selection modes, which let you highlight faces, edges or vertexes only.

                              Here's my wishlist:

                              Curved text tool

                              Artificial lighting (lighting components give off light) - I know that's a big ask

                              Fix the (still existing) bug that doesn't allow exporting animations at 16:9, only 4:3 which is terrible!

                              Fix the buggy .dwg importer

                              Better search in the Component Browser (local, not internet)

                              Better general performance overall

                                SketchUp App Store (?)
                                A centrally organized repository (like it is standard in linux) of plugins with easy install and update.

                                • search plugins
                                • try out plugins
                                • and eventually uninstall
                                  It is sometimes frustrating to test new plugins when I have already many installed. Unzip, copy files into plugin folder, close SketchUp, restart SketchUp, search the plugins in the menus. Especially for uninstalling I have to search which files belong to which plugin because the file names often don't correspond to the names in the menu.

                                  An option to re-load plugins without restarting SketchUp would save a little time.

                                    My wish-list would be as follows;

                                    1. Better management of layers!

                                    When a group or component is highlighted, the layer it's on really should highlight in the layers window. How many times do I start a new group on the wrong layer? Also iron out the bug (is it a bug or just me?) that prevents some entities not moving to the new selected layers, even though they have been selected to do so!

                                    1. A proper chamfer/ fillet tool (with a push/pull style controller- ala SpaceClaim), rather than that goddamn awful ruby script, which always goes the opposite direction to what you want it to!! 😑

                                    2. New Ruby scripts to be dropped into Ruby Console window, and SU places them automatically (rather than tearing one's hair out trying to figure out why they don't work).

                                    3. SketchUp for Linux (so the next computer I buy, is a (cheaper than a new Mac), PC, running a free operating system!)

                                    I'd be happy just for these for now πŸ˜„

                                      Are you using this plugin for filleting/chamfering http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20485 ?

                                      There were a few dodgy ones before this but i've found this one to do everything i need.

                                        Thanks Remus. I'll give it a spin. I was having so many problems with getting certain plugins to work, that I had decided not to use them, but I will give this a try, because it is such a useful function to have. πŸ˜„

                                            I'll have to have another go. I'm going to have to try out SU Animate as well during the next week, because I've got to do a 3D SketchUp 'walk-through' in front of an audience, Sunday week. I'm a tad apprehensive as this is the first time I've had to do this (apart from at university- and even then, they were stills in Powerpoint).
