      Did they really not include the Solar North Toolbar in the Free version? Is it maybe just not enabled in the Preferences > Extensions dialog?

      Note - Pro only.

      With a Mac you just move the icons up into the main toolbar.

          And again, nothing included what users asked for a long time. One huge dissapointment and my choice is now 3ds max. Google you suck! 😞

                I have now problems with my free sketchup 8 edition, everything works perfect.
                I want to know why people are disappointed because nobody have said that the must go to version 8. So when you're not happy with the new version stick by the old one.

                I use 7 pro and al the things i miss in the 8 free version i can still do in the 7 pro version and then import in 8. For me personal i use the 7 version to create my own materials.

                So don't be disappointed because you can still use the 7.1 version. And perhaps we get quite soon a 8.1 version πŸ€“

                    It's all about the right tool for the right job. And that is very subjective. It's not about using a hammer OR a screwdriver.

                      I'm talking about new features. Why that 3ds Max, Maya , Modo and others allways include something handy and really neede when SU just integrates unneded crap like layout and google earth stuff? Where is normal texturing tools for archs for example? That's why I'm calling this SU 8 - another crap from google. Google thinks that my progress with modeling stay's in one position? πŸ˜„ Come on πŸ˜„

                        I really needed to move on from 32bit memory space. Looks like I will have to buy a render app that has an external 64bit studio. Any recommendations?

                          Because it's fits Google's need?
                          @Last SketchUp and Google SketchUp clearly has different agendas.

                          I don't think Google SketchUp will be competing about features in the same line as other modeller tools. So comparisons turn into oranges and apples.

                          Not saying that is good for the users - but just an observation of how I interpret Google SketchUp.

                            Don't know from the top of my head, but I think that there are several that are considering moving to studio. Think I's seen some chatter about this in the forum. So hopefully the options will expand.

                              i installed Sketchup 8 free. I copied all my plugins and found four Rubies with Syntax errors.

                              Error Loading File balustrade_components.rb
                              C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/balustrade_components.rb:228: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')'

                              ...snip...

                              Listen peepers.. when you see this error: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')'
                              It means that Ruby 1.8.6 read a method call and mistook the 1st argument that was wrapped in ( ) as the entire argument list. So Ruby wanted to see the end of the line but of course there is a comma that separates arguments. You need to put a ( at the end of the method name, and a ) after the last argument.
