A new home for SketchUp

'SketchUp' in large letters followed by 'a Trimble Company' in smaller letters. Proper order to my way of thinking. SketchUp has come of age and is now a recognised brand in itself!
Oh, is SketchUp an actual company? Not just a Trimble product division?
-
Peter, From my recollection Google purchased @Last Inc and it became a subsidiary. I imagine they sold the actual old @Last Inc to Trimble Inc. I note that now Team SketchUp members are using ?????@sketchup.com as their emails not such and such @sketchup.trimble.com.
So yes, I would imagine that SketchUp is an actual company or a subsidiary and not a division of Trimble

This has been a very interesting, and informative discussion.
But...
Let's cut to the quick, and the proof of Trimble's commitment to its core users.
When is Basecamp -

When is BasecampI little 'dickie bird' told me that we can expect to start hearing more once the SketchUp Team have settled into their new home ........ they are still wondering around finding their bearings!
As for Basecamp! I have no idea

..... or Vegas on 5th - 7th Nov ? http://www.trimbledimensions.com/
I think I could be persuaded to attend it
I have been to Reno but never Vegas ..... so far! Looks like a fun place. Could be good for the SketchUp Team as they probably would not have to do a whole load of organising

Probably pointless now as its 50 / 50 to whether or not it will be around for too much longer

Yea, we're not in the EU - now see how y'all look!

It will be a good thing for London that a Base Camp wont be a happinin' during the Olympics as tickets sales would worsen even more than they are presently.

Ran across a very interesting article, "Here's Why Google Got Rid of Sketchup". It's not a huge surprise to most of us but the technology illustrated looks incredible.

Yeah, I was wondering how Athens, Greece got so detailed in such a short time in Google Earth. I was thinking who in the world was doing this? I remember even Tokyo was populated with 3d bldgs. a couple of years ago. They'd better hurry up in my locale, I am modeling my downtown in my spare time.

I don't think they did it this way.

Most of the building in Athens will be created by people using Building Maker. There rest will be models made in SU.
Athens will probably be one of the areas that they will use this process on. When that happens all the BM and SU models will be replaced.
Unless your downtown is part of a major area, it's likely that it'll be years before they do this with your town, if ever.
They haven't introduced this yet. They only announced it last week, so they could beat Apple to the punch because Apple is replacing Google for their maps in their next OS release.
