      I thought this was an interesting headline that provides a clue into why Trimble wants Sketchup. I'm not familiar with their "Office-to-Field Platform" to know what it means though. (From http://ww2.trimble.com/3d/)

        I will wait things out and I hope this transition to Trimble is positive for everyone involved. I still have SU8 and that will suffice for a long time. OTOH, I'm rounding up my Blender tutorials and learning materials, etc.

        Fortune favors the prepared. ๐Ÿ˜’

        Cheers.

        BTW, Trimble also acquired PeopleNET last July as well: http://www.trimble.com/news/release.aspx?id=072011a

              It would have felt better if they said Apple was buying Sketchup. Trimble is a foreign company to most of us. Oh, well like someone said if there is a silver lining they didnt get bought buy autocad. I guess change is inevitable but whether its good or bad time will tell. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ˜ž ๐Ÿ˜•

              ha.. i don't know about that.. OS X has some awesome features in place for developers to tap into and i don't feel any cad/modeling app has fully exploited these features but as far as apple themselves handling the developmentโ€ฆ hmmm.. ๐Ÿ˜„

                  I have to agree. We all have gotten to see what kind of things were important to the Google/SketchUp team. It will be interesting to see what is important to the Trimble/SketchUp team and how that is reflected in future versions.

                      Wait. What? I don't think that was me. I think Gaieus made the comment on Boulder.

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

                        . I am afraid it might end in a Autodesk like package.

                        honestly, i wouldn't mind if sketchup got all bloated like an autodesk product.. lots of features that i'd probably never use but also a lot of features that i would use..
                        (but i'm saying this from a standpoint of using sketchup for 8 years now.. it wouldn't be too hard to figure out.. a new user however might have a harder time but.. whatever ๐Ÿ˜„ )

                                  If you want to see what Trimble is up to you could take a look at the Tekla Bimsight application. It is quite a capable viewing tool for IFC files, and it's free. And the interface is badly in need of a liberal application of Sketchup to make it more palatable.
