    πŸ‘ Nothing has soured my taste for this software more than the greyed menu issue. This is the best news of the year!!!!

          What's this gray out issue? I'd never heard of or ran into that.

            It's where having too many plugins caused certain elements in the right click menu to become greyed-out(unusable)

            Well, maybe not too many plugins but there was some issue within SU that meant if too many plugins were called to use the context menu then other items got greyed out.

            Anyway it's fixed now so those who have a need to install everything no longer suffer this issue (unless your Pilou and still use v6 πŸ˜‰ )

            There's also some fixes for the ruby devs that mean less workarounds and bugsplats related to things called observers.

              I should clarify - eraser no longer works by simply flipping the pen.

                                  You should be getting a notification as soon as you open sketchup.

                                      Wait, I haven't followed this very closely. Are you saying that I can add 15,000 groups without massive slowdown now?

                                        Adding geometry still slows down depending on how much geometry there is in the context you add to - so the more you add, the slower it gets. But OSX had a bug that made it even worse.

                                          Both editions of the application, and the SDK, had it. In the last MR cycle, the code was fixed, and the SDK and the Windows app, called the new code,.. but somehow the OSX app source didn't get changed to call the new code.

                                          It would be interesting to see the MAC results of new tests.. against the old ones run on 8.0M2
