A new home for SketchUp

I think so, Mike. I'm going to frame my Google SketchUp t-shirts now....

How about TrimbleUp and SketchUTrimble?

My impression is that it will be just "SketchUp" now - no company prefix.

That would be best. By the time we get used to this, it might change again. Also, I need to look at the logo all the time to be able to spell it correctly.

I need to update my documentation for Vertex Tools. And ... I guess... my blog posts...

Sorry but "trimble" as a particular signification as word or it's just a Company's name ?

It's a surname of one of the founders

But in general a surname has a meaning no ? It is the case here ?

Another latecomer - me.
Wow.
Never expected this. To be honest, like a bunch of folks here it makes me nervous. We could wind up like a lot of software that has almost useless "freemium" and all the good stuff and functionality is reserved for paying customers.
I hope for the best and SU, or whatever it is called in the future, will continue on as it has - heavy on the community support and activity. It's definitely what has kept me with this software this long.

Nice coat of arms the Hammond family has.

Which reminds me... This is an interesting reading. A bit of some financial speculation but still...

Also just caught this. I'm pretty happy with SU8 as it is - ably augmented by various rubies (kudos all).
So long as the Add Location function (a Google dependency) isn't crippled, I'm cool.
More integration with survey/ GPS data might be nice, though.So wait and see.
I've been Blendering for a while. It's a steep learning curve, a very different user interface, and would need a number of tools developed for it. That said, the new Bmesh is pretty cool. -

i don't mean for this to come off as bad sounding (but if it is, maybe i need to have another look at myself?) but...
imo, all sketchup free development could cease at this moment and the free users would still be left with a great product..
years ago, i spent $500 on an app that was far inferior to what sketchup free is today.. and i was hyped when i bought it!
but they're saying that a free version will remain available and i honestly don't see them down scaling the free version to something unusable.. in fact, i really don't imagine they will downscale it all..
[and who knows, maybe trimble will start integrating ads into the free version or something? it does seem like a likely move but then again, i'd expect google would of been the more likely candidate to do such a thing]

A sale of the popular 3D drafting tool has been rumored for weeks, but it was widely assumed the buyer would be Dassault Systèmes.
Funny SU could be French!
