Are you ready for SketchUp 7 news?
-
Thankfully, I haven't had much cause to go for Non Euclidian forms yet, but when I do, I'll probably go and learn Rhino properly
Is it easy to learn? The training I got went as far as 'here is how you load a script', without any references to the basics.

Rhino? No, it's not easy to learn, for most people, and the interface has some really challenging issues. It's not SU. Teaching a beginning 3D design class centered on Rhino is like pulling (your own) teeth...over the course of a semester. Generally about a quarter of the students seem to understand the subtleties to the point where I can see them using the software for design and drafting.
This is part of the website I made for the last semester's class. If you scroll to the bottom of the page there are links to the major tutorial sites.

The Rhino TV site is fairly good:

Thanks for this - I have to admit I had real trouble, being one of the only members of my studio who hadn't used it prior to that course. It's on my to do list of stuff to learn. Thanks again.

Some of this would be nice....the What's New videos for 3DS Max Design 2009, the replacement for Viz. The Spline Mapping and Photometric Lighting is pretty cool.

Hi all
So, anybody knows when will SU 7 be released? -
Nope, still as uncertain as ever.
-
After 16 pages of rumors and speculation...how little do we know.
-
Guys, I1m pretty sure that some info will be leaked at 3D BaseCamp but the timing will be uncertain even afterwards. Every evrsion needs beta testing and that can last for months in fact. So be patient!
-
That'll be hard...
-
Hopefully soon, Everyday I have been keeping watch for it online everywhere. Even at http://www.filehippo.com "Software updates web site".
-
Michael,
Make sure to watch it here...

I don't want any of the above.
I just want to be able to stay in Sketchup instead of having to go to AutoCAD.

So far, I have 181 models I made on my 3dwarehouse:

Any more new news on Sketchup 7 yet?
-
Nope. Im sure there will be a suitably large and obvious thread when the time for news does come, though.
-
My guess would be Christmas.
I estimate this because only two months ago there was an opening @Google SU team for a C++ programmer.
That could mean some serious coding still needed to be done. Count in the beta testing period (in my knowledge the beta didn't leave the office yet following the talk Lewis had with the G guys about a week ago) and you know it can't be due the next few months.
Unless we're talking about a real small update.... -

He he .... I don't think so.
I think it just means someone is doing some coding for SU in C++.Cool, just checking. It would be a cool feature to add to sketchup.
