      Modelhead,

      Thanks for your feedback. 😄

      Bonzai3d basically lives inside its folder, and does not distribute files all over the system like some other softwares do.

      However, I should have also mentioned that bonzai3d will make a bonzai3d folder in your Documents folder to store custom items that the user creates (such as Components, custom Materials, renderings, etc). To completely remove all traces of bonzai3d, you should also delete this folder -- as well as any other files that you have saved yourself.

        when tou use an installer does it tell you every file it places and change it makes? when you use an uninstaller are you somehow guaranteed that it removes every file it placed and all its registry entries... i don't think so, i have many times found files and folders from programs i've uninstalled long ago. pisses me off really!

          :lol: no...not really. It is ok for you and I to skip a few steps, we are not holding a huge amount of assets on our computers. But there are no administrators that I know that would introduce a 200 meg bomb in there environment with out full scrutiny that includes knowing that native file types are recognizable. So you are just limiting your customer base to small unsecured, stand-alone. If you are not convinced then check with someone responsible for keeping a network secure.

          Do a little homework before you make yourself look silly.

            We now have quite a few large firms (architectural and other) that have implemented bonzai3d, and no one has complained about this yet. In fact we have received a number of compliments on the ease of implementing bonzai3d in a larger office environment. 😄

            This being said, there is no reason we can't implement a "delete" or "uninstall" function that will automatically remove the file type registration, the start menu shortcut, and the bonzai3d folder in the documents folder. This could save a few clicks, and if it somehow makes you feel more secure, all the better...

                    7.1 files are the same as 7 files, so the 7 importer should work for all your file importing needs.

                      Chris,

                      In addition to what Remus has posted (this plugin should import SKP 7.0 and 7.1 files), we are working a plugin for Mac as well. We will post again when this is available, and we expect that the "final" plugins for Mac and Windows will be available at the same time. 😄

                            Modelhead,

                            We have been using installers for almost 20 years with formZ and other software, so we do have a lot of experience with this. Thanks for your suggestions.


                            (Is there anyone else that prefers the complications an installer adds rather than simply copying the application folder?)

                            Align,

                            This is something that we are considering, although we do not have a definitive answer at this time.


                            We have also just released our 2.0.1 update, which adds support for a few more languages:

                                Frenchy,

                                Sorry, we are still waiting on our French Distributor for the translation. As soon as we get it, we will release it. 😄

                                  ..this one goes under my list of points that got missed.

                                  Modelhead,

                                  Other than your comments, we have still not heard any complaints from anyone regarding copying the application instead of using an installer. We have only received compliments, so I'm not sure what else we can say...

                                  We do appreciate your feedback though. 😄

                                    Did any of you guys end up jumping ship to Bonzai? Looks pretty good and I have a project that requires Nurbs modelling that sketchup would struggle with. Worth trying?

                                      Tried, have it, it but haven't jumped ship. As you say, it's quite a different tool - for a different purpose.

                                      SketchUp is a mesh modeller, Bonzai3d is a NURBS modeller. Two very different beasts. If you need NURBS then Bonzai3d is an option. So is Rhino - very good.

                                        MoI3D is another good option.

                                        Blender has NURBS too

                                        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp 📖

                                          I have downloaded the trial of MoI3D. so will see what thats like. The only thing putting me off Rhino is the cost at the moment. Blenders learning curve is meant to be pretty steep I hear and at the moment I just dont have the time to dedicate to it even though it seems the most sensible option.

                                            Bonzai3d does feel quite familiar to SketchUp users though, IMO.
