Sketchup 9

masterpaul

if paying 70 or 80 bucks for an upgrade roughly every 2 years or so my demands would be pretty demanding too, could imagine that, besides the compulsive stuff already mentioned, brewing a yummy cappuci or latte macchiate every now and then could be a great improvement too go4it

a Linux/iOS/Android/<replacewithyourOS> version can be expected also, no doubt!!!

On the other hand its only 70 bucks. However yes I do agree modelling features need to free, plugins like curviloft, soft skin and bubble need to installed from the beginning. Features like layout should be pro.

Sketch-up is slowly being more often used in architecture studios, for good reason, its fun and easy. The only thing the way sketchup should evolve is by keeping the original philosophy (it should be fun and easy.

I could pretty much make everything that could had been made in rhino, thanks to sketchup's free plugins. Google needs to make them standard. My rhino tutors are saying wow.. you made that in sketchup? And yes I said Ive made that in 10 mintutes. In fact I was so good at it that he said to me "hey listen you don't need to do these lessons, just use sketchup, I'll pass you.

Now what I propose for the free verson is, a simple opening advert wont hurt.
