                  It's the "better ruby script installer" which lights up my world. This will make SketchUp a far more friendly tool for those in the classroom! For once I can start getting kids and teachers to install plugins without having to get all technical with them! β˜€

                  My book "Let's SketchUp!" Download from here

                      is the sketchup 8 viewer new as well? or did i just miss the boat on that one?

                      i'm waiting to see what the ruby writers think about the new hooks(?) and rbz

                        So many support issues are due to installing, now we can point to official Google docs the presents the Install Extension button.

                          You're absolutely right- SketchUp IS being used around the globe to make big projects... and I've seen some really amazing ones. If you've got a big project that you're particularly proud of, I hope you'll consider sharing it with us.

                          As you've seen me say before, performance is always important and it is something that we work on pretty tirelessly. All users benefit from improvements in this area. That we didn't mention anything specific in the release notes shouldn't be taken as evidence that we've forgotten how important it is to you. πŸ˜‰

                            i can now open supro on different computers and they both run without one being [EXPIRED]

                            probably something to do with the pro trial not reverting to free now..

                              SU8M2 doesn't change the .skp file format, so the previously-released SU8 Viewer is still compatible. No need to download/install a new Viewer for SU8M2 files.

                                Just watched the video for Advanced Camera tools. Totally blown away. And to think I actually got laughed at architecture school for using SU.

                                      I personally believe architecture schools across the world should be teaching SU to students by week 2.

                                          Sounds great, but I think I'll wait until any bugs show up and get fixed. Same way with Windows updates, occasionally they cause more problems than they solve.

                                            The bugs are fixed, that's why it was in beta, so no probs it's good to go.
