      I use Vue a lot and use .skp -->.3ds using Deep Exploration and it works great for me so far.

      where is this deep exploration? in SU? in the export? or in the Vue Import? I used OBJ because the 3ds resulted in missing geometry and twisted faces.

        Deep exploration is a rather pricey file conversion/management program. It does a very good job of converting files between lots of formats, often a lot better than the SU exporters can do.

          One of the new features will be called Nibble, This feature will progressively Eat away at your model until eventually there is nothing left. The process can be controlled and the amount of nibble and the rate of nibble and when to stop the nibble are user controlled.

          I also heard that they were thinking of features called "lick" and "suck" until the marketing people thought about the slogan ...

          Life's a reach, and then you gybe.

              I think new version will be much different. They could call it SuckIt Up 1.0... beta ??

              Now taking seriously. I have an impression that Google is preparing something similar to the 'Chrome' but in 3D world. It takes so long because:

              • they are(?) almost rewriting the whole thing
              • Google SU Team members were excited at Base Camp - because they are working on an 'open source(?)' new approach to 3D modelling and because they are able involve their own talents and ideas
              • they are(?) creating Linux version as well

              I wish it was true 😄

                SU7 is taking so long because:

                They are moving the Sketchup department from Boulder to Wassilla, Alaska to avoid the 'High poly army' from gathering if it does not have features they want ...who's gonna picket in Alaska in winter?

                  SU7 is taking so long because:

                  Out of sympathy with current users, they are doing all development work on a single core processor.

                  They are using old Mac's with a one button mouse and they can't figure out how to orbit.

                  They are spending all their time at Wassilla's new sports center because there's nothing good at the library.
