    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.

        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

            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 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!

                                  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.

                                      There's been some pretty important bug fixes to the API that's going to make a big difference.

                                        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.
