      also, if you set location and import a mesh (finally in color!) and then open the components dialog you wiil find a category named: nearby buildings, that will import the building on the terrain.

      Also, take notice that solid operations are awesome, but work only for pro... and that's bad

        Looks like they removed the solar orientation setting in the geolocation area for manually setting the north angle in you model

        Solar North toolbar now but so far can only toggle on/off.
        Bottom two buttons dead at the moment.
        Do work if I put icons into customized toolbar ๐ŸŽ‰

          has anyone used up their 8hrs yet?
          i'm pretty close and i'm just wondering if it reverts to SUfree..
          my company pays for my license but it's going to be another couple of days but i'd like to use it in the meantime..

          (that back edges view is real nice btw.. seems like i'll be using that a lot more often than xray now)

            Toolbar fix is nice and also ruby update... seems that SU2Thea freeze (win) is gone by that. General impression for me: some needed bug fixed and some minor new features... but a major version release - it does not add up. I really was expecting 64 bit version.

              Couldn't agree more... This should have been a v.7.2 or something... ๐Ÿ˜

              That said... It feels more stable and seem to be handling high poly models better...
              Also some of the better ruby plug-ins seem to work both faster and better...
              But a major version release... Naahhh...
              (but perhaps they've tweaked A LOT under the hood...??)

              I was pretty disappointed that they said not only are they not planning to do 64bit, they don't even see the value of it! ๐Ÿ˜ก

              (I think they are all Mac users anyway, which would explain why they aren't in a big hurry).

                Did the upgrade to 8 Free, discovered that I lost about 30% of my plugins on the toolbar. It'll take a bit to go through and figure out which ones vanished.

                Did you copy the plugins from SU 7.x to SU 8.0?

                      Some lights about the new Push Pull 2.0? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

                      Push/Pull pre-selected faces

                      Select a face, then push/pull; it works just like the rest of SketchUpโ€™s modification tools. Super handy when you donโ€™t want to change your point of view.

                        Before PushPull would ignore pre-selected faces and only use the face you clicked on.
                        If you Pre-Pick in SU8 it will push-pull the selected face even if you are not clicking directly on it.

                          Unfortunately, Google just wants us to model the world in 3D for it .... The program does not do anything innovative ... once again ... disappointment!

                                ~ v 6.4 for me.

                                SU7 and SU8 are just point upgrades from SU6 IMO. Sketchup is still an awesome programme, but it is pretty much as good as it's ever going to be.

                                      So should we consider to spend the upgrade fee for ruby scripters that are able to deliver so much tools in the same time where google give so little... ?

                                        Hi all,

                                        I'm unable to install SU8 here, as only the IT guys have Admin rights.

                                        Can someone please answer me 2 quick question?

                                        1. Does SU8 support Multi-Cores?
                                        2. Does SU8 support >2Gb Memory (we have 12Gb on our Workstation...)

                                        Thanks!
                                        -Avihay.

                                            You decide - when the plugins that require SU8 comes out.

                                            I'm upgrading to SU8 - even just for the modelling part. Some important fixes and improvement here as well. I don't expect SU to make much a wow factor any more - it's a mature product. There are of course lots of room for improvement - though personally I'd prefer SU being maintained as a platform for where developers can make specialised tools. It's why I like SU - like Firefox, I can install the features I want. I'm not too bothered who makes the actual implementation of the features/plugins as long as the platform for which to build them are good enough for continued development.

                                            Personally I feel that 7.1 was a bigger update - with the speed improvements it had. But SU8 is fine.
