Hello, Questions.

Hi guys,
I have been using Design 2020 for my kitchen design like 2 years now, and was looking for a low cost substitute.
Just recently I discovered SketchUp. Since then I have been amazed by this free program as more and more functions are revealed to me.I have one complaint though, the zoom rate becomes slower the closer you are to an object. Zoom also slowed when you are not pointing to any object. Can I adjust to constant zoom rate? Sometime when I orbit into an object, accidentally, its slow to zoom out or pan out of it.
Other than that, may I know for Pro version is it one time fee (entitled to future versions?) or renewable? I cannot find this in Google's FAQ for SketchUp.
Thank you.

The Zoom tool in SU is contextual and is designed this way (you describe). I actually find it very good compared to constant zooming in other apps but I believe it is a matter of getting used to and may be a pain first when you come from another application.
No, it cannot be changed.
As for the SU Pro license: it is a one time fee and is for life-time but only for the particular main version. When a new version comes out, you are not forced to upgrade and can use the older version forever but if you decide to upgrade, there is an upgrade fee some $95 I believe. Your older version remains functional, too (I have SU 6, 7 and now 8 installed on my computer).
All incremental (smaller) versions within a main version are free. Like we have the second maintenance version for SU 8 already - some even brought new functions.

Thank you Mr Gai for clearing my doubt. I will adjust myself to it.
