Sketch Up V1
-
Very good.
-
shouldnt laugh dave, there was some fine work produced by those early masters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_paintings

I have a v5 free which does not have the sandbox tools - but then id does not have animation export, Options (sizes) for 2D export, location, print to scale and of course the exporters either.

At Google's 3dBaseCamp I suggested they (Google) should locate all previous versions and create some sort of online museum. What I was told was the early stuff won't run on contemporary machines. I suppose if you were still running Windows98 you might get v1 or 2 to run.
For the class I'd stick with version 6 and as Jackson says, just turn off the sandbox tools. Furthermore, for a simpler interface, you could take some care in setting up the toolbars. For instance maybe initially you wouldn't need the 'views','facestyle' or 'shadows' tools. They're really advanced features for class number two.

I did run version 2 in my pc vista premium
not now for the time has expired.
though they are still ways to let them run.
I am after it.

That is a very good point Ross.
Maybe i should change my lesson plan to teach more manual modeling. I don't get much time to prepare and even less time to teach.
I like the museum idea, i sure you can get emulators to run the early versions if newer machines can't run them.

did you get my e_mail Tobobo ?
-
Another thing to remember is newer versions are definitely more stable. The changes from version-to-version included improvements that made SU progressively more stable. I'd really stay away from the older stuff.

Ross is right here. In addition you will continually run into situations where a student wants to do something but the previous versions are not capable and you will constantly be saying or tempted to say "but that was fixed in version 4" or "Now in version 6 that's easy to do" Plus I think it's your responsibility as an educator to be teaching current technology as much as feasible.
My 2 cents
-
yes.
Those old versions, 2 and 3, are to be kept as remembrances of how SketchUp grew.@unknownuser said:
Most confindent for me is number 4 for there there Is the ruby.
The path gone from there on has lead us to our present confused situation.
5 and 6 lack of interest and are, much more the version 6, full of distractions.
(my opinion)
