      This year's version was so lackluster they didn't even bother make a what's new video about it.

      I don't know hey, I watched no less than two clips on Youtube last night, by SketchUp themselves (there are others), about new features.

      Please get your facts straight.

      You mean the two short videos showing barely any reason to upgrade to 2018?

      At least last year had a "Sketchup 2017:What's new?" video.

        Yea, I saw that they won't set the same. However, that is not my complaint. Look at how jagged the edges are in 2018.

        And yes the arrows appear when I am moving the trays. However, if they are there to help, maybe they should stay on longer.

          If the core code is the same, adding support for extensions to the web version would be possible, right?
          Or does it already have support for extensions built in but not yet exposed?

          No, the Ruby API is not part of the core.

            Just downloaded SketchUp 2018 in Oz. Just wondering how my plugins are going to go if I install. Skatter is good apparently, but not sure about any of the others. One way to find out I guess.

              Oh ok. Free is useless to me then. Nice toy, back to '17 I go

                You can upload the model to the 3D Warehouse which will convert it to earlier versions for you.

                  I'll pass on that. I don't use the Warehouse anyway so.. No point in adding another step into my hobby flow...

                      If you upgrade to SU2018 from SU2017, why won't it be possible to have 2017 and 2018 reside on the computer at the same time?

                        It works that way already.

                          it can and should be installed side-by-side sothat you are able doing a fallback to version 2017 if required because e.g. plugins are not compatible (yet).

                          Actually do not deactivate product activations of existing previous versions because they cannot be reactivated after activating SU 2018 again even on the same system! Use the 30 day trial runtime before activating a new version anyhow.

                            I'll have to get the exact quote from Trimble, but I didn't upgrade because there was some language stating that 2017 would become inoperative after 30 days. Not sure if anyone else saw this too?

                              You can change the anti alias settings etc for each program via Windows or your graphics card set up(i.e Nvidia control panel accessed by right clicking on empty screen). Mine appears under 'Manage 3D settings' where you can override each applications 3D settings. I changed mine to 8x, and its much better. There was a thread about it a while ago but as usual I can't find it.

                                meant are additional activations which actually are not possible since day zero now (see above), do not deactivate resp. activate all 2017 program installations before activating version 2018... after the 30 day trial if unsure how rev. 2018 performs.

                                  I'm waiting for a few developers to join together and make an alternative to SketchUp. I'll pay filthy money for it. Just do it. Make yourself rich. You know what it needs to be.

                                    True story. Happened to me with 2016 after I installed 2017. Worked fine alongside until later I had to reinstall my OS, and then I couldn't get 2016 activated.

                                        Oh. To answer your question. Yes, I happen to know it will be released in November. 😄
