      Don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but I would love the option where Styles/Profiles is applied to the whole model instead of every component/group. At this point I sometimes explode the entire model, just to get a nice NPR output from Sketchup.

      Also, the option to 'tell' Sketchup which object is on top of the other. This to get rid of Z-fighting and maybe even see through style lines.

      Just my two cents ๐Ÿ˜„

        Yes, maybe it's not easy... but it looks like it will be the only way to get real perfomance improvements in future versions... since this is the way CPUs evolve since a few years. ๐Ÿ˜’
        And even if it is not possible to use multiple cores for modeling or geometry display, it could be used at least to speed up "closed" operations like rendering images or saving in the background.

        It's really a joke that you have to open multiple versions of the same file to speed up rendering an animation (i found a limit somewhere at 8 instances...) - why can't this be done internally?!?

        btw... i would really like to hear the explanation why an autosave takes 10 times lomger than a normal save... really annoying ๐Ÿ˜’

          Please can we have Generate Report CSV linked to the model units or at least give us a basic option of output in inches / centimetres. It's a real pain having to convert everything to metric just to do quick quantity checks.

                  I would like to see a skybox as parallax-invariant background that is also not trimmed off by the far Z plane. Either from an equirectangular panorama or six cube faces. Transparency to be allowed (so the blue-ish sky comes through, and the sun and shadow algorithms should take the skybox into account. Or maybe even a Preetham-style sky colour skybox with a "sun" with lens flare?

                    I do not know if you post here is still valid or whether the terms have already expired, but I read just now and, among my greatest desires for a great leap of scketch up there would be a chance to make it compatible
                    with the cam system, such as the Tebis for example, or others that can recognize,
                    as the 3D modeling is not born just to take pictures or static images

                    but is just a coin โ˜€

                          I have a few wishes for Sketchup 9 "free":

                          1. The follow-me tool that can go over crossed lines.
                          2. Push-pull on curved objects.

                            I have a long wishlist ๐Ÿ˜‰

                            1. Multiple windows of files interface, so that new SU doesnโ€™t have to be opened every time.
                            2. Thumbnail support in folder containing SketchUp files for 64 bit windows 7 operating system
                            3. Better 2d export facility with layers support. This will help in efficient post processing in AutoCAD.
                            4. Ability to export PDFs (in layout as well as SU) with shadows as a vector and not a raster.
                            5. Feature to control lineweight for different layers or selected objects within SketchUp itself.
                            6. Solid cut through โ€“ will give users an option the moment they put a door on a wall, it cuts a hole throughout and not on a face particularly. The following options can be there.
                            7. Collision detection (that can be turned on or off) so that furniture donโ€™t punch themselves through a surface
                            8. Customized snap options like AutoCAD.

                            Midpoint
                            Nearest
                            Perpendicular
                            Endpioint
                            Tangent
                            Center
                            Node , etc.

                            Sketchup Make 2017 (64-bit), Vray 4.0 , Windows 10 โ€“ 64 bit, corei7-8750H, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB

                              As a V-Ray user you do not want this. MDI would make multiple models share the same host process - and also memory.

                                  Some good suggestions but please don't burden SU simple efficiency with unnecessary Aut*CAD wannabe features like this.

                                      Adding to my list :
                                      Feature for Hatching with vector patterns like brickwork, cement, etc. with this one would be able to create richer sectional view of details like planter, window, door frame, fountain,etc. one thing id like to ask. is posting ideas like this on forum effective [i.,e. more likely to get your wish fulfilled] or posting on google ideas ?

                                        That is something that I think all of us would like John. The more we make noise about it the more likely it will happen!!!
