      Surely being gps and surveying orientated high poly is now on the horizon ? I think google have been treading water for too long these guys seem more professionally driven. Being in the architecture field I hope this is a good thing, otherwise modo I'm looking at you.

        Here's a FAQ from Trimble with lots more info.

        Thom, they say they acknowledge the value of 3rd party developers, and will support them πŸ‘

          My big question is the price it's not as if google needed the cash. Trimble just basically bought a huge user base.

            Trimble is committed to investing in SketchUp and expanding its development in multiple directions.

            I certainly hope you won't do this:

                Can we please have just SKETCHUP on the banner. No @Last, no Google, no Trimble..etc?

                    What bothers me the most is the loss of Google. I was a big advocate for Google sketchup to kids and now I have to push Trimble Sketchup?

                    I doubt the product will survive the loss of Google, a worldwide Mega name.

                    I liked sketchup because of Google, they stayed out of the way. I doubt Trimble can afford sketchup to be run by users.

                    Eventually it will be just another product on the marketplace.

                        I'm guessing Trimble will launch v9. I just hop google didn't lose it because they hit the wall with performance issues. Im thinking google dropped it for a reason perhaps they have their own 3d software on the horizon or they just didn't achieve their google earth aims.

                          One Google tie-in that I have really liked is "Add Location" inside SU. Hoping that continues to develop.

                          Add Location and other key geo-location features (like Terrain) aren't going anywhere -- being able to effective geo-locate models and do site analysis is a big deal!

                            If the guys that develope your favourite software are genuinely excited about a new direction then I'm really stoked about this.

                            Everyone that is involved in this community has helped shape SketchUp in some way. I imagine the Pro version is now gonna be crazy. πŸ‘

                                    Google did not stay out of the way of SU development. If anything, they were very much in the way. Its the main reason we saw many tools developed for Google Earth like building maker, integrated road views, enhanced Photo Match, Add Location (direct integration with Googles Terrain and Map servers)....all released with SU 7 and 8.
                                    Thanks

                                        It would mean big improvements to Ruby API and official support for C++ access to the SketchUp application through a decent SDK.

                                          That's the way I see things as well.

                                          If they had announced an SU buy-out that involved telling the devs to sling their hook, then I'd be worried and start looking at Blender or selling a kidney in order to buy 3DS Max.

                                          For now I'm excited about what the future will bring......although it is something of a nervous excitement.
