Google Sketcup v8
-
I'm going to be switching to Windows 7 Professional.
Does Google still offer a "free" version of Sketchup 8 ? Or would I have to
purchase the "full" version ? Also, (if the answer is yes) if my information
is correct, I can just reload "old" projects, and convert them over to the
version 8 format....correct ?
The reason I ask is that, on one of the Google Sketchup pages, I saw that
Version 8 sold for $495.garystan -
Yes, the free and Pro versions both work on Win 7 just fine.
You can easily open old versions of SU projects in the newest version of SU.
Yes the license is $495 and that's about what its been for a long time now if I recall correctly. Maybe since version 4 or earlier? If you own a previous "pro" version, then you pay the upgrade cost, which is like $100 I think? Anyone else have more precise numbers?It might be different out of the country as well.

Just to clarify, it hasn't been Google SketchUp since the middle of last year.

I did some searching, and apparently, I can gaet the "Free" version of SU8. And, according to the comparison chart, version 8 should provide what I need for home use. The basic designing functions, materials, orbit function....etc.......... I don't need the "professional" stuff on the Pro version. No offense. One question I DO have. I'd be able to convert my old (version 7.1) projects to version 8, right ?garystan -
v8 opens v7 files
v7 doesn't open v8 files

There is no need to make changes to files if it just "works" (ie. SketchUp opens them). I just keep old files untouched so they can still be opened in older versions.
