SketchUp 2019 release
-
Yep, I only installed 2018 on one of my computers for this very reason. I've only used 2018 in the past year to open 2018 version SU files, but do my main modeling on a different computer, usually in 2016. I'm planning to trial 2019 on that same computer and even if I do end up purchasing for some reason, I likely won't touch my other installs.

You'll find that, once you've been issued a license for an updated (newer) version, and you have used it to activate the updated (newer) version, the serial for older versions won't work anymore after (I think) a month. Existing activated installations will keep on working as normal, but you won't be able to do a fresh install and activate any of the older versions. I suppose they do it that way to curb unauthorized installations.

This is a shame. This is one of the benefits of having an AutoDesk subscription. You can download and install older versions of the software if you have some sort of need like to run an older version say for a 3rd party add-on or plugin that is not updated yet. Oh well, maybe one day.

I hope sketchup pro moves to web platform and we can finally get rid of those pesky desktop versions once and for all.

pretty mischief.

I guess there are others interested. I've checked this thread 99,000 times just for the banter.

@ function: No way! That would be the ultimate end.

That would be my last day with SU

If you experienced a situation where you needed to be operated on - would you want a web app to say work on pumping your blood through your body to keep you alive? Then the internet goes down - OOPS.
Mission critical software should remain offline. As should CNC routers etc. This extends to large models where web apps will bring the entire system down to its knees !!!

I'm hoping "function" was joking, but if not YIKES!
If SU were to be Web only, Solo would need to change his name because there would be a heck of a lot of SU users joining him out the door.

afaik a guarantee for a periodic release of new main versions is not promised.

No "function" is very serious about this.
But we are getting off topic here. Any news about SU 2019 yet?

v2019 will feature 3 most anticipated features: a new logo, ability to choose color for your section planes and maybe some new politically correct human in default template
You'll see sadly I'm very close to reality -

...ability to choose color for your section planes
That already exists.
People will whine and complain no matter how many new features they add.

ranting is the new dedication

Are you sure you can assign individual color to a concrete inactive section plane?

Exactlty.. Even section colorization won't stop this whining
