      They made shadows faster. It seems like it does not recalculate shadows when rotating view. No ora a short delay waiting for them to reappear.

      I have my license valid till the end of 2020 but I did not recieve updated license. Keep waiting or should I do something?

        go to licence manager section on their website, enter licence details with your e-mail, a new serial will be sent

        Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

          besides having bought by a reseller who will then deliver the license data of rev. 2019 to the registered email address in a few hours/days.

            Hmm new license areas aside, not to impressed with only minor adjustments to the program and minor feature adds.

            Have to see how it goes...

              We know the future, even we try to fool ourself 😕 SketchUP WEB -> Subscription Only -> Sketchup WEB Pro. Imagine the future where everything is on subscription only! The big corporations own everything and we are just subscribers! And all this push to the cloud is in line with this strategy - take full control over the tools and the data!

                      I'd guess that simply means you haven't taken up the option of a subscription or classic license. So at the moment you are running a trial version.
                      Once you add a license the welcome screen option will become available, just like past versions.

                        it appears that the dashed lines works in a way that all the sages tell us not to do.
                        Hope someone can show me that I am wrong!!

                        You are mostly right but partially wrong.

                        Indeed, the new dashed lines are implemented via layers. There are some issues with this method. If you set individual edges to use a dashed line layer, yes, you will violate the standard advice to use only Layer0 for individual edges, with all of the same potential issues as before the dashed line option. This visual effect has no impact on whether edges interact with other geometry. If you set a group to use a layer with dashes enabled, all the edges inside that group will receive the same dash pattern, which might not be what you wanted and so will force you to create additional nested groups based on dash pattern.

                        However, you don't need to violate the advice to always leave Layer0 active. You can change the layer of any geometry after it is drawn without making that layer active. Also, you can toggle an existing layer between solid and various dashed patterns after the fact and everything that uses it will follow suit.

                          I didn't feel significant speed gain. There IS adaptive degradation while orbiting (WITH shadows off). When orbit stops, shadows get back after some delay. Everything as usual. Unfortunately there is no built-in FPS counter to objectively estimate the improvement (if any)
                          Small Doh! moment: if the very first shadow calculation takes say 8 sec, the following shadow toggling take much less (~1-2sec).

                            The only good thing about SU2019 is I finally made myself to install all plugins from scratch).
                            Boy it was hard. Approx 160+ .rbzs 😲, one working day. Last time I did it was decades ago.

                              Using sketchucation plugin store and extension warehouse I installed roughly the same number in about 30 minutes. The ones from elsewhere took a few minutes more.

                                I haven't got a new license yet. Well, I got an upgraded serial ( or was that one for 2018?) but I also need a verification code. How do I get that?

                                  Yeah I know.. But deciding what to recycle\keep takes lots of extra time, many plugins had its alternatives.
                                  BTW I compared opening times 2018 vs 2019: 1min54sec vs 1min38sec. It's hard to tell exactly what contributed more, 1019 optimizaton or plugin cleaning

                                    via the SketchUp 'License Manager' or the supplier of your license.

                                    The serial no of SUP v2019 needs to start with an "U".

                                      Yes it was via the license manager and yes it start with a U.
                                      How do I get the verification code? Is that the one they will email soon because I couldn't see anywhere to request it.

                                        There is a tab underneath the Serial Number in the license manager. If you click on it, it should email you the new serial number plus the authorization code.

                                          New SketchUp 2019....no new in-demand features. Predicted this a year ago here in the thread and on YouTube. At that time I started the migration to Blender. You should check out my video at YouTube for more info:

                                          Also, I just relased a course specifically aimed at SketchUp artists who want to model in SketchUp and render using Blender 2.8's FREE realtime photoreal renderer: EEVEE. Check it out at

                                          FWIW, I was in a message thread predicting the lack of features for Pro this coming year, and also predicting the eventual move of Pro to the cloud, which I specifically stated would take longer than a year. I've already received KUDOS on my YT channel for the predictions.

                                          So, I placed the above message in the SketchUp forum thread (not Sketchucation) this all started. In less than 45 seconds a moderator killed my post. So, just a heads up, it's now clear they will want to control the messaging around the dire straits of SketchUp.

                                          Currently working with Cross-Reality technologies
