      no performance upgrades ... Why WE are no surprised??

      The world is moving forward you know ... Sk is not a SIMPLE software to redraw images and upload the models to google earth!! its been used around the globe to make BIG projects!!!

      You're absolutely right- SketchUp IS being used around the globe to make big projects... and I've seen some really amazing ones. If you've got a big project that you're particularly proud of, I hope you'll consider sharing it with us.

      As you've seen me say before, performance is always important and it is something that we work on pretty tirelessly. All users benefit from improvements in this area. That we didn't mention anything specific in the release notes shouldn't be taken as evidence that we've forgotten how important it is to you. πŸ˜‰

        i can now open supro on different computers and they both run without one being [EXPIRED]

        probably something to do with the pro trial not reverting to free now..

          SU8M2 doesn't change the .skp file format, so the previously-released SU8 Viewer is still compatible. No need to download/install a new Viewer for SU8M2 files.

            Just watched the video for Advanced Camera tools. Totally blown away. And to think I actually got laughed at architecture school for using SU.

                Just tell them to produce anything comparable in the same time. Sit down side by side to two computers with the same task. The idiot having laughed previously will have the grin frozen on his face.

                (Ah well, I did this with a client once when he had a phone call and left for about 20 minutes. I built his design during that time - and the "competitor" had previously worked on it for two weeks)

                  I personally believe architecture schools across the world should be teaching SU to students by week 2.

                      Sounds great, but I think I'll wait until any bugs show up and get fixed. Same way with Windows updates, occasionally they cause more problems than they solve.

                        The bugs are fixed, that's why it was in beta, so no probs it's good to go.

                              not to rain on the parade, but any other Mac users seeing 'grayed out' inoperable Toolbars.

                              Some Google, and all others. it seems.

                              I was using them at the time and went to switch tools...

                              curious

                              never seen this one before tonight.
                              I did install Maxwell Render today, but it's not active...

                              learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...

                                To me, what you've done in M2 is great, especially the plugin/extension improvements for both users and authors.

                                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                  uh.. ok.. maybe i wasn't connected to the same network or something when i had two sketchups open earlier because now when i try it, i CAN NOT even use sketchup on a different computer..

                                  previously, if you tried this, only one would be pro and the rest would be [expired]pro (i.e.-free version)

                                  now, i can only have sketchup open on one computer at a time ?? unless i install both free and pro on all computers??

                                  this kinda sucks.

                                  well, i guess it isn't too bad.. i just have to turn off wifi prior to launching on a second computer..
                                  i mean, it's not like i'm trying to be shiesty or anything.. i just can't sit at one computer all day long and draw..

                                  i'll often have project files in my dropbox so i can pick up a laptop and lay on the floor while drawing for a while.. take the computer outside with me.. etc..
                                  and i'm not going to buy another license for that privilege πŸ˜„

                                    Nay, I have this version installed on my desktop and laptop at the same time and have never had any issues with running either. Both connected to the net (lappy via wifi but the same router as the desktop).

                                        they probably aren't on the same network then.. for instance, can you use one for a render slave under the configuration you're using? or browse and transfer files between the two computers?

                                          It must be the same network. The wifi is coming from my router.


                                          I don't know, what's going on there, Jeff. But please, post either here in the bug reports forum or over the Google forums as you are also active there. I will make sure it is noticed but certainly Googlers are also monitoring these places in the coming days.
