Isn't this strange for SketchUp 8?
-
I'm always behind the times, and had some large projects in Skp 7 I wanted to complete before purchasing SketchUp 8. Now that I have, something seem strange.
I tried the demo they gave out at Base Camp, and the UI had Susan (I think) on it, and I believe the colors were different. Attached is what comes up when I open 8. Is this strange? Or am I screwing up as usual.

YEa, that's the SU7 template.
Did you copy stuff over from your SU7 installation after installing SU8?
Or load some preferences that makes your template point to the SU7 one?
-
no,I didn't copy anything over until after I posted this, then I copied my plugins folder over, re-booted and got all my plugins, but same UI. Wierd
-
It seems to be SU 8 though, solid tools are there. I wonder if they work.
-
Hmmm. Everything seems to work, tried solid tools, tried some of my plugins, 10001 Bit tools, Thea Exporter.
Well at least I'll feel at home
Or maybe I'll have to try...Dear Mr/Ms Googlebot
I fell lonely and left out. All my peers get to play in the new interface, and well, It's like being the last guy picked for the team, or like being Tonto when the Lone Ranger used to say. "You stay here Tonto and I'll go to town".
I want to go to town too.
Now what do I put for my SketchUp version under my avatar SketchUp 7 1/2. -
you probably did a 'save as template' with the sang template in su7 (making it a custom template).. my custom template also opened after installing 8 without needing to relocate it and reassign etc.
-
Some of the bamboo drives from Basecamp were loaded with the wrong template. A couple people who loaded 8 while they were there had the same issue. I would bet that if you update to the new point-version you will get the correct templates.

Thanks Guys
I did a download this morning from the internet for this version, and my original bamboo did have Susan, so I guess I can always use it.
It doesn't really bother me actually, as long as it works, But I just thought it was weird. -
Fixed
Found a older SketchUp 7 Version buried in my Library folder. Removed it, and there was V8.
