SketchUp 2013 ;)
-
My impression is that SU2013 have been released earlier then expected, because the new feature of "extension warehouse" have had to start competing with SCF "Plugin store" as soon as possible.
From the developer point of view, new SDK looks promising, but we will have to wait till it is usable within SketchUp itself.

Hatch is finally here!
Yes indeed.
Makes Hatchfaces obselete perhaps...
I do like the speed and ease of use of the new LO-Hatches, but do not like the quality of linework when scaling hatches up, because it is still only raster-image.
(Line thickness responds to scaling)Raster-image does put a restriction on what can be further achieved with this new tool.
Still pretty cool though.. Not wanna sound to negative

Not for me, I like using Hatchfaces for direct image output form SU in the initial stages of a project.

Anyone having trouble buying the upgrade?
I keep getting a message that I have entered incorrect licence info.
I entered the licence info by copying and pasting from the licence info that was emailed to me by Google when I upgraded to V8. -

I keep saving files in SKETCHUP 8 version just in caseI still keep SkethUp 7.1
This is only a new packing for selling the old free product.Two important questions:
Can one still use v7.1 for commercial work?
Can it be run with new 2013 installed? -
Seasdes i also had a problem upgrading but then i noticed what the boxes required read it again it's company name and serial.
PS the maxwell plugin looks broken ;(

Hi,
For the little time I have tested SketchUp 2013 I have noticed significantly faster loadings of my plugin which is something to be excited.
Cheers!

I had the licence info sent to me and repasted the Serial No. I still get an error message that I have entered the wrong serial number.

Can it be run with new 2013 installed?The agreement between you and Google was made when you downloaded the product and assumed by Trimble when they purchased, so I would expect legally you can still use all the old versions commercially.

2013 requires a new license. The license for V8 doesn't apply to 2013.
He's talking about buying an upgrade - I assume that one need to enter existing license info in order to buy at upgrade-price instead of full retail.

Correct thomthom. The wizard asks for the latest licence number before I pay. So I assume that its my latest V8 licence.
Its not a matter of how hard is it to understand but how hard to do.

When you upgrade on the site read the box fields i made this mistake twice.
it's not name,serial,key
it's name, company name, key

All this waiting for sketchup 2013 and the end a little changes of icons and some cosmetic stuff. I expected more (64bit sketchup, better integrated uv mapping...)
Some people will stay whit v.8(release date 2010) even v.7.1 (release date 2009) why do you think ?
Some people even spoke(in their dreams) about integrated plugin like a multiscater, new modificators etc.
Do not get me wrong. Im a big fen of sketchup and want develoving to be faster than now.
I hope sketchup 2014 will make the difference. -
I'm not sure if i'm getting this right...
This page (http://www.sketchup.com/products/sketchup-pro/new-in-2013) is showing all the new and amazing features of this build? Is this true?!? If yes, this is a very bad joke...
Anouncing a toolbar system that doesn't trash your screen layout when you resize the window as biggest new feature is unbelievable. And all other "improvements" i can find are related to layout. Is this true?!?So what we get with this update is
- no new features/improvements for sketchup, only bug fixes of things that should have been addressed years ago
- "incredible" new features for layout like "curved label leader lines" (i don't use layout at all and if would do, why should i use curved label lines in an architectural drawing? This is just useless...)
- a higher price
- a subscription
- a Sketchup "Make" (what a stupid name, and how does it correspond with "Pro"?!?) that no longer can be used at work.
did i overlook something?
If this is really all, i know why this was such a quiet release... it's better if nobody sees it! I never thought that it could get worse than all these google warehouse/earth releases in the past...
Is this really true?

I see this realize as a Trimble start, branding, packing and setting a course for future. Now they have much more work to do (see wishlist) to make people buy SketchUp after 7.1. Maybe in a few years...

The biggest feature for SketchUp for end users itself is the Extension Warehouse. (And that is a big feature - in terms of development time.)
There are more improvements, but under the hood.
But don't forget that Layout is part of the whole SketchUp Pro suite which got quite a lot of improvements.Extension/Plugins repository/manager, fixing toolbar issues and Layout improvements has been very high up there on the list of requested features among users.
-
Pilou, you don't need a custom toolbar ruby anymore. The customization of toolbars is built right into the new release. You can drag icons from one toolbar to another or even create new toolbars from scratch and drag whatever you want to them. This ought to make most people's workspace far more economical, as you don't need to clutter it up with stuff you seldom use...like having to load an entire toolbar even though you only regularly use one tool on it.

Believe it or not, the old version had so many bugs, that in this version were fixed; most of the time they involved in bug fixing the old version which came with it's own problems then it came the new additions with their own bugs!
If you wanted something fancy and WOW ing, we could have waited for about two years !! I for one, can't wait that longer. The slight improvements are good for now, and I hope for more in the future !
That's exacly my issue when considering pro version. I honestly exepted this is a bit more than a payed bug fix pack plan with some eye candy and a promise that SU will be developed further. Will there be a 64-bit version for example? What about true circles and issues with extrude... some major core issues in SU seems not get a solution (or even a promise that they will be addressed).
[sorry for the rant]

actually, I think you have that entirely backward. I don't think it's any coincidence that the Sketchucation version appeared on the very same day as the Beta trials started...and certain people here got to see what was coming.
There is no 'competition' the extension warehouse is built right into the program. Sketchucation always has been a great resource and community, but the plain fact remains that most SU users are unaware of its existence...or if they are, they don't visit.
