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.

No, but I just registered trimbucation.com

How about TrimbleUp and SketchUTrimble?

My impression is that it will be just "SketchUp" now - no company prefix.

Gaieus

That would be best. By the time we get used to this, it might change again. Also, I need to look at the logo all the time to be able to spell it correctly.

I need to update my documentation for Vertex Tools. And ... I guess... my blog posts...

Sorry but "trimble" as a particular signification as word or it's just a Company's name ?

Are you working for the Mafia or for an Antivirus company? Both offer "protection".

Another latecomer - me.

Wow.

Never expected this. To be honest, like a bunch of folks here it makes me nervous. We could wind up like a lot of software that has almost useless "freemium" and all the good stuff and functionality is reserved for paying customers.

I hope for the best and SU, or whatever it is called in the future, will continue on as it has - heavy on the community support and activity. It's definitely what has kept me with this software this long.

Nice coat of arms the Hammond family has.

Have we forgotten the off topic button?

Which reminds me... This is an interesting reading. A bit of some financial speculation but still...
