SketchUp Pro 2021
-
I finally stopped procrastinating and got a SketchUp Pro 2021 subscription. Couple of observations:
-
Faster than my SketchUp 2017 set-up.
-
Fresh install of plugins went smoothly. Only a handful of plugins didn't work and only one payware is yet to be updated.
-
A lot of new features for me to learn like Layout, creating Dynamic Components, and creating my own Styles.
-
I'm using Windows 7 and it's working fine. Had few bugsplats but that could be anything. I have yet to put this through the ringer of course.
-
It's remarkably similar to previous SketchUp versions. Basic operation are identical.
-
Some old plugins still work including one I'm using from 2005.
Like I said I still have to put this through the ringer to find out what plugins don't work that isn't noticeable when you start SketchUp. Including the operating system that I will update as soon as I can afford a new machine. If you have the $299 I think you should go for it. Overall everything is working well.
Here's a screenshot. As you can see it looks familiar with previous version. I might have to cut down on all the menus I docked in the screen which I placed mainly for show.
