SketchUp 2013 wish list
-
Hi guys,
I just want to share my wishes for SU2013 and posibly hear your opinions. So trimble listen here it is.1 - 64 bi support - obviously you are working on it, but is still biggest hick up.
2 - Native thumbnails of skp files in win8 or 7
3 - foldering layers like in photoshop or fireworks
4 - now that you are trimblers thare is no reason not to make 2d version of sketch up. Many people wisched this over the years. And it would be really simple its already done just one axis less.
5 - Ribbon - what to do with SU interface is question with long history. And I think SU can have little bit off inspiration in his biggest rival Autodesk. Even ACAD is horryble dinosaurs and devolpment of it since 2009 was tottaly awefull, but since than thay did wery good steps. 1- 2008 -> 2009 they realized that it looked bad so they made it dark, pretty and shiny. And even smarter step was taken in 2009 -> 2010 version, where microsoft introduced new ribbon in his office progrem, witch is used by majority of pc users. And autodesk jumped on the bandwagon. I know that SU is developed on mac, but fakt that majority of windows users uses microsoft office and are used to ribbon concept witch is even in acad, is grat fact, because nothing may can go wrong with this concept is allready tested, used and quite frenkly sketch up toolbars work that way but they are still floating around instead being in the ribbon.
so to sum it up my wish is to make new UI more sexy (dark) and i would like to see ribbon for managing tools and plugins.
6 - native export of psd format. with masked components and layers like artlantis renders.What do you think ?

I've probably answered theses wish lists 5 times in the past few years and my 2013 list is...
quit wishing.. it's not going to happen.. sketchup is what it is and that's that..:bitter SU user emoticon:

I just wish there was some way to clear the Ruby Console without having to exit Sketchup. Execution seems to get slower and slower as the output window grows longer and longer.

Why would you need another program when you can do 2D drawings already?

I think you want to make SketchUp something it isn't supposed to be. Why make it more complicated? One of the reasons for SketchUp is it is a relatively simple way to create 3D drawings. Let's let the SketchUp team work on the important things asked for in the myriad wishlist threads that have already been started.

Unfortunately, yes... But thankfully there is a way to switch it of...
So please!!!! Not this ribbon-s*** for sketchup!
...btw, i'm still using office 2003 because of this "new feature"

I dislike the new Office for that reason, too but I don't have a choice in the matter at work. I certainly don't want that for SketchUp.

Ability to zoom in to detail without clipping plane problems
-
A way to organize the Layers panel into folders and categories
-
Ability to manipulate vertices directly

you can already do this with the move tool.. or are you suggesting something different than what's already available?

What I'm referring to is the ability to move (or edit) vertices separately from the lines or planes they're a function of. ThomThom's Vertex tools does exactly that but I think Trimble should buy the plugin from ThomThom and incorporate it into the base application as it's such an essential function in 3D work.
And they should pay ThomThom handsomely for it because it's such a well designed, well thought out plugin.

I find it annoying too, but I believe it's a technical problem, inherent to the OpenGL technology, not SU itself. Plus, if it disappears, we wouldn't be able to zoom through geometry.

Adding to wishlist -
Make Layout and SketchUp file icons different so I'm not continually opening one thinking it's the other.
