Evrybody says that new sketchup not be 64bit but i got this answer from Trimble
Hi,
Thanks for the note. We don't have an exact date we can share with you to when the next version of SketchUp Pro will be released. We are working on the next version and plan to have it out sometime this year. The plan is to include 64bit functionality.
If you need anything else, please let me know.

64bit functionality not sure if that means SketchUp will be 64bit. Considering John Bacus's replies earlier it appeared that 64bit SketchUp wasn't high up there on the list. So I am surprised if the next release will be so. And more surprised they would mention this to anyone. They never reveal information prior to releases.
Until this is verified I hold back my "wow!".

If this is correct (and you would hope sales dept. would know the facts) then I will definitely be upgrading to 2013.
Best,

Could this be true?
My skeptical look.

I'm hopeful! I need to start using all 64Gb of memory in my new machine!

You might get solicitations from organizations wanting to borrow number crunching time on on your machine, if the 64Gb is any indicator.

Why? When have you run out of memory while using SketchUp?

I often forget about which or where plugins are for something I require, so I can say I have a memory issues in SU.

Firehose!
Ok, sorry to burst the bubble, but I contacted the SketchUp team to verify this and they replied that there is no 64bit builds of the next SketchUp version.
They have no knowledge of anyone in the team ever making this claim.
They also stressed that they have a company policy to never reveal specific information on new features about the next version prior to it's release.

Well it would be impossible to run out of memory when the max capable of the program is less than 4gb. I do use other 64 bit programs, that clearly utilize the extra memory. So yes I'm always hopeful for more speed. I know you are not saying SU is as fast as it needs to be. Correct?

And they still told you this to post on a public forum? The reality is, eventually 32bit programming will be a thing of the past. Maybe the next version is still 32bit, but eventually it will have to move in the same direction of everything else out there.

64bit has nothing to do with speed or performance. It only allows you to address more memory. That's it. No magic.
And have you ever experienced SketchUp running out of memory? It would then crash. You could see that it runs out of memory if you kept the Task Manager open and observed that it ran to over 4GB.

Yes, they said I could debunk this.
Windows might go all 64bit, but do not expect a magic speed improvement. The fact of the matter is, 64bit instead of 32bit means the data processed is double the size - which can actually lead to worse performance. -

So can we please lay this to rest?
