    So the new "features" for this year are a subscription based model, a bundle with Sefaira, dashed lines and Marc? Can this be true? Really?!? ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜†

    OMG !

    I can't believe any company with a soft like Sketchup can do this shit !!

        Someone is working on something for Unity. It would be cool if they would adopt it to Blender 3D.

        This looks very promising. Thanks for the link.
        The push-pull is already better than in SU. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Hopefully someone can adopt it incl. a good numeric input and the other good features of SU.

          I am saddened by this.

          Iโ€™ve been using sketchup for about 14 years and it was the modelling software for everyone. To the extent that it took a while for some to take it seriously as a professional design tool.

          Adobe and auto desk, etc were expensive to start off with so a subscription license was understandable to an extent.

          However this decision really alienates the freelancers and small businesses who canโ€™t afford to go subscription, who over the years helped sketch up to grow and become the widely used tool it is today.

          Iโ€™m still waiting to hear more info on classic and a comparison of that and pro and studio. But right now Iโ€™m not a happy bunny (excuse the term)

            Over time, much as I like some software, I've come to realize that if I don't like how it's done (or NOT done), I can just go start my own software business. So there.

                  What's that?

                  They've fixed a mess of bugs and some issues that people have been complaining about , they added some new features that people wanted like dashed lines in SketchUp, they've made SketchUp Pro less expensive to get started in with their subscription option which also gives the user access to SketchUp Shop, an unlimited Trimble Connect storage account and other features. And for those who aren't interested in having access to SketchUp Shop and the other add-ons, they can continue with their Classic license as they've always done.

                    I have 2018, with the maintenance license still in effect. I have downloaded 2019. It requests a license and an authorization code. Before I would copy the license from the previous version. This time 2019 says it is not a valid license.

                    So do I to buy another 2019 license or am I doing something wrong. I just want the classic, not interested in the $600 program.

                    So help if you can.

                    Thank you in advance

                        I think itโ€™s what I expected.
                        Nothing about speed and stability for high poly models and faster import.
                        Nothing very impressive but at least two things are good.

                        In SketchUp you now have the ability to Import and Export Materials improving interoperability for CAD and BIM workflows

                        This one if it works as I hope will be of big use to me since much is modeled in Revit at work.
                        Getting materials in to Sketchup will save me time.

                        Fixed an issue where SketchUp would take focus during start up preventing work in other apps.

                        A good and wanted fix.
                        Now I can do something productive instead of looking at Sketchup loading.

                              I have the active upgrade, maintenance and support plan. I have had it for several years When I install the new version each year, the old version is still there and still works. It does not expire after the 60 days (or at least it never has for me).

                              Looks like I can continue on the same path with the Classic plan.

                                  Do not have it yet, but it appears that the dashed lines works in a way that all the sages tell us not to do. You can only use dashed lines in conjunction with a layer (according to my understanding). Which means that the layer where you are going to use dashed lines must be the "active" layer. All of the advice I have seen from the sages say that you should ALWAYS draw on layer0 and then assign the object/group/component to a layer after completing the action. Again, according to what I am seeing on the SketchUp forum, you would have to draw you objects/groups/components on a layer other than layer0 in order to use dashed lines.

                                  Hope someone can show me that I am wrong!!

                                    Kind of my first impression also until I others corrected my understanding of some things. The Classic version and it's licensing continues the environment we have been used to. ๐Ÿ‘

                                      Can I change my vote in the poll?? I've been using Sketchup since version 6 and had really high hopes for 2019 especially with the release delay. Doesn't seem like anything to get excited over though I will hold off on judging it till I have used it for a few weeks. But the biggest disappointment is going subscription. And before people start replying with "the classic version license" just read Mark's statements again, "for the time being", so it won't be long before Sketchup is following the Autodesk empire's footprints. I would of rather had them double or triple the yearly maintenance fee. So where to go from here? Guess now would be a good time for some developers to come up with a Blender addon that at least kinda mimicked SU especially with the 2.8 release. I would buy it.

                                        There's never been a case where you would enter your license for the previous version in the licensing fields for a new one. Nothing has changed regarding that. They have already said they will be sending e-mails in the next day or so out to those who have current maintenance agreements providing new serial numbers and keys. If you can't wait that long, you can go to the website and get the license info directly

                                        No. You don't need to buy another license. You can continue with what they now call the Classic license. You'll get SketchUp 2019 with a perpetual license.
