SketchUp 2015 is 64bit
-
It will open the large models, even do the shadow ok, but when I try to rotate it, it will let me do it maybe a couple of times, and then it crashes. I wait a good amount of time between the moves to let the cpu settle down.
Bottom line - it's a crappy low-end graphics card and I'm asking it to do things it's just not up to doing. Whaddya gonna do
-
I've got a VW graphics card and I'm trying to drive it like a Ferrari

I was suggesting that you turn off hardware acceleration. that way you won't be trying to use the videocard as much. it will work with "software acceleration".
Might try it.

Oh.
Well, I tried it - the model looked like absolute crap, but tried shadows anyway, waited about 4 minutes (Shadow Setting - not responding), finally had to use Task Manager to shut it down.
Hey, it was worth a shot, right? -
yeah... damn. where's the SU Crew. this just sounds odd to me.

Thank you Trimble Sketchup team.
2015 Pro is working well for me. It’s stable & fast, not sure if that has to do with bug fixes (from 2014) or 64bit?
Also, thanks for not messing with the UI. I use sizer to set the window to specific size for post-processing in Photoshop. I was able to on the fly change from 2014 to 2015. Which worked out great since I had a couple of large SU files that needed exporting to png.
Thanks,

That would be the number of bug fixes we did unrelated to 64bit.

Not for VISTA Ultra 64?? So Sad
-
my Sketchup 2015-2016 wishlist is to integrate sketchup with BIM with parametric object so when imported to Archicad or Revit export will be no problem.
-
SU now has the IFC classifier system. It should work with Revit. Check it out.
Bargain Basement BIM. SketchUP 2014 now has native IFC.
Want more BIM for your bucks?? The democratization of BIM has begun with the announcement that Trimble SketchUP now supports and exports to IFC. As just posted on the SketchUP UPdate blog, for $500US you can now inter-operate with the most sophisticated (and expensive) tools in the #BIMbusiness, with one of the cheapest and easiest…

Is the ability to dock toolbars on the side new or have I just been missing it all this time?

Fraid so...
-
In a couple of years I'll tell you you can dock them at the bottom too.
-
I hang my head in shame...
-
I must say I'm a bit miffed that vista isn't supported. Having to buy a new OS is ridiculous.
-
One thing that's a bit annoying with 2015 is that they switched position for "Create" and "Cancel" buttons in the Create Component box.
SSU8
2015
I don't know how many times I have hit "Cancel" when I meant to hit "Create".
Wonder why they did that. Can't think of any advantage to doing it.
Oh, well, I'm still very, extremely pleased with 2015.
-
It's been that way since SU2013, anyway. I never noticed because I use the Enter key instead of clicking on the button. Hit G, type the component name and hit Enter or hit G followed by Enter if I don't need to make a name for it.

You mean if just hit Enter it will create the component?
Either way, it's no big deal. I'm using 2014 for all my modeling now, so I'll get used to it. Small price to pay.
Thanks Dave

It's pretty much just like any other Windows thing. If the button is highlighted, hitting Enter is as good as clicking on it.
I'm not picking on you but I can't help but wonder what else you might be doing the hard way.

Undoubtedly a lot of things
But I've grown used to the way I'm doing things in SU, and learning new tricks is so painful, I'll just continue to plod along. Old dog, new tricks......
