There are NO dates for SU 7.

Well, yes, everybody had to sign an NDA. However there was no official and public info leaked about the upcoming release(s) and features.
I was also there whith Pete and John Bacus and yes, in private (and especially with Beta testers in general) they were more open. So let's wait till Pete puts all those questions together and we'll see what they can officially tell about them.There are things we are not supposed to reveal however but that's not really related to BaseCamp and info gathered there in public but during private talks.

Just out of curiousity, will there be more new Sketchup 6 versions before Sketchup 7 comes out? Like Sketchup 6.4.5 or Sketchup 6.5 for example.

@Mpowel,
Sketchup has indeed a tradition of 'in between' releases, but they are mostly fixes and they provide no new functionality. Those updates get installed automatically (notification within SU itself).About the whole SU7 discussion, NDA signatures and the Bermuda triangle: it seems we have now two kinds of SCF members: those who attended 3DBC and those who did not.
I think all the big secrecy stuff is kind of silly and rather childish if you ask me...
Information leaked in 'private conversations'..brrr..Did anyone reveal the name of the killer of JFK?
I am sure that info would fall outside 'the NDA'...
Sketchup is a simple 3D modeler , not some military operation

He seemed to have overhauled you 64 bit being not so beneficiary.
Did he draw the GPU card?
64 bit probably is more of a CPU booster than a GPU one...
But one can't disregard the benefits of going 64 bit nevertheless.
Especially in 3D software. -
HAhahaha
Kwistenbeibel, I think I would quite enjoy drinking a few beers with you, as we seem to be cut of the same cloth.
I could not agree more about the silliness of all this.
It reminds me of the craziness going on over at the z-brush camp. They took people's money for a mac version and it has now been over a year and the mac port has still not materialized. The version 3 and mac thread complaint thread is by far the biggest thread on the site.
At least Google gave us version 6; it's hard to complain too hard, I guess, since it was free.
Still annoying, though, that they haven't even fixed what was wrong in 6, let alone give us a 7. I have a hard time believing that 7, when it shows up, has any chance of living up to our 1 1/2 year compilation of wish lists. I, however, will be the first to eat my hat if I am wrong.

Kwist,
I'm not trying to mystify anything here - just telling what I experienced. There was an NDA and that's it. No news were released and no-one can tell what went on in private discussions.
We cannot dictate what privacy policy Google should follow so I think this discussion here is a bit meaningless (I hope you don't get me wrong; I'm not "targeting" this to you).
BaseCamp was not about spying out information as at the very beginning it became clear that there wouldn't be "big news".
And yes, "on the fly" fixes happen - just like there should be something done with the new Mac OS upgrade but these are "fixes" generally, as we/you have been experiencing with the 3 or 4 new releases of SU 6 during the past year and a half already. I guess this is "normal" with most of the softwares out there.
@Chuck - well, that z-brush thing may have been funny!
(even though people who paid may not find it so funny...) -
is SU 7 still being released tomorrow and any news about its features?

And you've got the "tomorrow" information from where..??
-
I was thinking the same thing. 
-
-
Yes, tomorrow. As always
-
I don't want to come across as being mean spirited, but Google have indicated that SU7 is coming but so is Christmas and at least we know when that will be...
-
use the spanish for tomorrow: manana. That means just not today. You can use it everyday
-
dont fuss with the spaniards Burkhard
mañana
-
today someone has entered
see the ipod sell
people sells their ipodsversion 7
dates?
: -
I know but my keyboard doesn`t. I'm working the last 3 years in Spain, so I fully understand
and I learned to love it -
good for you
i am still learning it -
i think it would be useful to be able to manage the information of the drop down menus in the main board.
i mean to be able to get up one option , or getting it down.
for instance in view:
drop down menu
be able to pick Animation and drop it up the first one.
and so on. -
Cool, when Sketchup comes I plan to create a 2,500 acre maze "4 Square Miles". Hopefully they fixed the clipping bug.
-
They will probably, in good old Google style, come out with it, without announcing it before.
BUT THEY BETTER NOT RELEASE IT WITHOUT 64 BIT AND MULTI PROCESSOR SUPPORT! and who knows, Direct X optional might as well be beneficial.
