Is SU 2014 now bug free?
-
-
I was reluctant to upgrade as I saw nothing worth paying more money for and losing some of my most used plugins. Then Skalp came along and gave me a reason to upgrade.
If you're into Layout there are some tools for architecture there that will make you feel good about the choice. labeling, hatch patterns, speed and stability improvements.
As for SU2014? I gained hidden line style, a classifier system that I don't use and it seems no one else does either, I lost some plugins, had to go through and reinstall everything, had to come up with new custom toolbar solution... After all that I'm back to normal minus a few plugins.

btw, 145.- U$ for jumping from v8 to v10 (aka 2014)... the bug fixes and improvements of existing functions are already worth this 'effort'.

I tested it and found no improvements that mattered to me worth any further investment. the addition of hatches was limited to only layout and no vector. Other than that and labeling I don't know what other improvements I missed. I was not having issue with any certain bugs. And sketchup still crashes daily with my plethora of plugins. And I am sorely missing a few of my old plugins like the SCF powerbar. Some of it works, but some of it does not.
Skalp sections made me upgrade, or I would not have...

Well, I'll probably just keep it on my main computer, but I don't see me using it at all.
Unless I save a model from R14, they all open with R8 automatically, so that's good. I use very few plugins, never use layout, and have had my fling with architecture. Even tho I've had R8 Pro for a few years now, I have never used any of it's pro features. I just got it to make sure it would download and install ok back when I thought I could get everyone a good deal on it (and didn't that turn out just fine
)So, I appreciate all the input and suggestions from everybody. My efforts to make the "new and improved" SU worthwhile to me have come to a halt. It's there if I need it but I don't see why I would. R8 will do just fine for what work I have left to do.
thanks again

Yeah, that was fun, definitely something different for me. But working with flat planar surfaces just seems strange for me. I need curves, lotsa curves!!!

If you like curves so much, feel free to do any of my houses...
