SketchUp 2018
-
I've just received my annual Maintenance and Support notice, so it looks like Trimble decided against a subscription model...for now.
-
it'll creep up on you when you least expect it.
-
The anticipation is killing me, so close yet so far (but imminent).
C'mon SketchUp (Trimble), release SU2018 into the wild - you know you want to.
-
I'm sad, I had bet on last monday ! Can't wait for it either. Hope it will be next monday...

So for maintain maintenance and support, you still have to pay for major upgrades?
If you pay your yearly maintenance and support fee you are entitled to all the major upgrades Sketchup releases as well as any maintenance release in the meantime.
I'd really hate Sketchup to be turned into a subscription.
-
The 2 and 3 year old S&M will be gone next monday (13th). this might be a release date for 2018.

Subscription will kill software.
There was MS Office, now there is Libre Office and WPS Office
There was Photoshop, now is Affinity Photo (which accepts Photoshop plugins, by the way)
... and many more.
I said "was" because the more people go into this new software, the less popular the giants will become.So, for each crazy priced (and subscription based) software, there are smart people to make a cheaper (and many times better) alternative, so the giants will have a fair competition.
I just hope SketchUp won't go that path, but mostly for nostalgia, because anytime someone else can come out with a better option... -

I'm sure you are impressed by the price too... and by the way, it does if not all, at least most operations non-destructive (eg. resizing layers). I started using it, but I have to check some tutorials, to get the workflow better.
Some say that in certain aspects is rather slow (raw processing), but the software is not that old overall (two years). -
SU 2018 appears to be available in Oz.
Dunno if this is spoof or real...
-
@chrisjk - I would like the Named Sections, Filled Section Cuts, Fast Sections and DWG Import in Layout.
Not sure what to make of 'Scaled Vector Drawing'...
-
Looks like they are improving BIM which is good!
-
I’m getting soooooo excited!

I tried to download free trial, it sends back to the 2017 version
Hope there will be other improvements, but section cuts fill would be great !

General impression based on this .au page- practically nothing

Yeah doesn't seem to offer much for the typical SketchUp user. LayOut improvements might be appreciable (though I doubt it would tempt me to do my serious drafting in LO), but if you are not into LayOut or BIM...
Well we'll see.

Turns out it's a fake page.

Especially for suffering juju, Trimble Brazil leaked 2018 promo vid (new features start at 1.38):

Haha. Nice one!

If somebody wants to see deleted page with information about SU 2018
