Trimble > Sketchup
-
Hi. I've been gone for a while and looking to take up SketchUp again. I noticed that SketchUp has been picked up by Trimble and wanted to make sure before I update that the plugins that previously worked and other free Ruby plugins will still work with the new version? Currently I am using the free version and not able to upgrade and I was afraid to upgrade and find that previously free functionality was limited. Sorry for the noobish question but it's been a while.

Only thing that has changed is the Name and the Location of Headquarters... You're all good.

Thanks. I felt a moment of panic but now relief.

It was basically a change of owner last Summer and the core product is little changed...
But please remember that the Free versions don't include some smart things like solid-tools, DC-editing and some export/import tools etc.
BUT you can have say v7 AND v8 free installed side by side and get some export/import tools now only available in v7.You can use save_as to make v7 SKPs from v8 if desired, and v7 SKPs open in v8 fine, so you can mix-and-match between versions, normally using v8 for its better functions and v7 for odd processes not not available in v8-free...
