A new home for SketchUp
-
I thought this was an interesting headline that provides a clue into why Trimble wants Sketchup. I'm not familiar with their "Office-to-Field Platform" to know what it means though. (From http://ww2.trimble.com/3d/)
-
I will wait things out and I hope this transition to Trimble is positive for everyone involved. I still have SU8 and that will suffice for a long time. OTOH, I'm rounding up my Blender tutorials and learning materials, etc.
Fortune favors the prepared.
Cheers.
BTW, Trimble also acquired PeopleNET last July as well: http://www.trimble.com/news/release.aspx?id=072011a

It would have felt better if they said Apple was buying Sketchup. Trimble is a foreign company to most of us. Oh, well like someone said if there is a silver lining they didnt get bought buy autocad. I guess change is inevitable but whether its good or bad time will tell.
ha.. i don't know about that.. OS X has some awesome features in place for developers to tap into and i don't feel any cad/modeling app has fully exploited these features but as far as apple themselves handling the development… hmmm..

I have to agree. We all have gotten to see what kind of things were important to the Google/SketchUp team. It will be interesting to see what is important to the Trimble/SketchUp team and how that is reflected in future versions.

Although that Boulder is not a bad place.
new york city > boulder
I've been to both and gotta say Boulder rocks.

@Jeff:
Wait. What? I don't think that was me. I think Gaieus made the comment on Boulder. -

. I am afraid it might end in a Autodesk like package.
honestly, i wouldn't mind if sketchup got all bloated like an autodesk product.. lots of features that i'd probably never use but also a lot of features that i would use..
(but i'm saying this from a standpoint of using sketchup for 8 years now.. it wouldn't be too hard to figure out.. a new user however might have a harder time but.. whatever ) -

it doesn't matter how logical of an argument someone may give me, nobody will ever convince me that there's a better city than nyc
You obviously haven't experienced the sprawling metropolis of Broadford, Co.Clare
You may have Broadway Jeff, but we've got Main street

If you want to see what Trimble is up to you could take a look at the Tekla Bimsight application. It is quite a capable viewing tool for IFC files, and it's free. And the interface is badly in need of a liberal application of Sketchup to make it more palatable.
