Google Sketchup Pro 7 is out

You think that it'll be Monday? It wasn't on there yesterday when I went to re-download Sketchup 6 after my computer blew itself up...

I'm inclined to think that maybe a Googler's had a laugh, someone's made a mistake and changed the page too early, or maybe the page has been hacked.

Just putting a link to buy the new version without any announcement or details whatsoever of the changes is just too weird for me.

Not getting my hopes up just yet.

Finally its' here!!! Just downloaded it and posted a short list of new features:

There's likely more but I haven't found a "new features" page yet.

Cheers, Alex

WoooHooo!!! Just did the download for 6 and I have 7 pro running in demo mode.

Life is good ..... no indication of multi-core yet though

Wonder why they've chosen to release it on a Saturday...?!?

Well, I'm a bit disappointed [and I wasn't even expecting much...] other than a bigger image support and dynamic components it's pretty much the same Correct me if I'm wrong please...

It could be that when you purchase a license sketchup unlocks a cr*pload of extra's, plugins and rubys, but I'm not counting on it...

Stu

Yeah I think your right....there must be a whole lot of changes that arent immediatly obvious.......
[but its cool that I can change the colour of the guys's shirt on the startup page.]

That's a bummer, I'm still running Win2000 so the installer coughs tells me my OS is not supported!

It's installed on my Acer Aspire One OK

Well....I took the SU7 plung. I'll post any new goodies as I see them. Either way, it feels good to owner a licensed copy and not just use the free version. Now I gotta work it it pay for itself!

TaffGoch

Woo-Hoo!

Does a free version available too? (not Pro)

Click Draw

Not that I could see....but try re downloading and see if it's 6 or 7. Just a thought.

No real love and passion behind the development of this product anymore i fear.

david_h

well before I go all giddy and Jumping up and down, I would like to hear something about the new features. . .

is it really just 6 with a lot of the plugins now built-in?
Is there a render tool included or is that still third party?
Any new tools?
Can it bake bread? Im on lo-carbs tho'

But you know. Let's hear some Chatter people!!!

Stu

David my guess is that we're too stunned to chatter!

Antialias preferences tool is quiet nice for textures.

So far..........looks like
1- Layout 2 included
2- Style builder included
3- Dynamic Components - looks very cool, especially whem combined with cost attributes

A quick animation test indicates that the shadow bug is still there.
