features called "lick" and "suck"

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

LOL, could be a great thread, I will start.

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.
