    One thing I noticed with the materials tray - when you strike the B key, the tray does not automatically pop open.

    Go to windows / preferences / shortcuts

    add the letter of your choice.

    I noticed many of the old default shortcuts to have gone missing in 2016

      If any of you hit the reset button the default buttons will be back up, even if you have none set.

        I have not installed 2016 yet. However, I've just read this thread and there much talk about the LO styles "Tray" in SU. This has me very apprehensive. (I do not like the tray system of LO.)

        I have a Dual 30" monitor set up. In the software packages I use, my Right monitor is for the actual work screen, and the Left has all my panels open. e.g components, materials, layers etc. Am I understanding correctly that the trays can only be docked to main work space (my Right monitor) and I can't move them to the second monitor? As it is, I don't expect much from Trimble. But really, for me anyway, the trays are a backward step.

          You can have multiple trays. They can be docked left, right, top or bottom, they can float and can be moved to other monitors. They can autohide or remain static.

              Obviously the people developing Sketchup doesn't use it at all, the same annoying bugs are still here, and the new features are just inexistent.
              This is so frustrating, puzzle games on iPhone have more improvements on each updates than Sketchup releases.
              SKP 2015 (14.1 really) was already poor in innovation but 2016 (14.2) just got a +1 to its current name.
              What have they been doing for 1 years, gathering crappy jpgs for the "new" textures ?
              I could post a full list of bugs and needed features, but they obviously do not care as many people already done that with no results.

                Rather than just be frustrated Nicholas, you should post your list of bugs / features over at the 2017 wishlist.

                  V 2016 is unusable for me, the inability to reliably move a group or component by locking the axis of movement means that ANY movement of components and groups is slow and tedious. I will wait until the first maintainence release and see how it goes from there. Even drawing a line by locking axis of the line fails.

                    Your comments suggest to me that you aren't understanding how to move things.
                    Click and release on a suitable part of your group with the move tool, this will attach it to the Cursor. You can freely move around with it or lock it to an axis with the arrow keys. Only when you click and release again will it be placed.

                        Mike you CAN lock the axis of movement on a group, I do it all day long.

                        Most frustrating part of 2016 for me is the increase in bugsplats with such simple operations.

                          I used to do it all day long, the FACT that I cannot with this version is NOT a joke and it working in YOUZR experience does NOT mean it works here, just that it is not 100%.

                          I would NOT report this if it worked....... Allow for some experience and intelligence please.

                            Calm down Mike, I'm not saying it works for you I am saying it works for me! By stating you are waiting for a maintenance release led me to believe that you think this problem is the same for everyone. So you may be waiting a long time for a fix for a bug that doesn't effect anyone else, OK?

                              Quite calm mate, nil desperandum. What you said was that I can and I was pointing out that I can't. There are a few issues where this program is slower than v 2015 like when copying and pasting, this leads me to conclude v 2016 is in a state of flux and needs a maintainence release. I have however, not had a single bugsplat but that will no doubt happen down the line.

                                I have now uninstalled v 2016, sick of the program not behaving properly and reducing the things I do to, no you cannot do that. Not seen the like on any other version.

                                    Runs like a dream, like the new features, have yet to have a bug splat, much faster than 2015, better resolution on the hi def screen....................

                                        SU 2016 is the best version since Trimble took over Sketchup. I'd been working with SU8 - now Su 2016
