      Thanks, Chris. I will try to look at all the available information.

      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

        Tim, I think the improvements in LO alone are worth the upgrade. For me the increase in render speed has been a huge benefit. With LO3 I would start an Update References with rendering in Vector or Hybrid and go eat dinner. Now the rendering is so fast I can't get a sip of coffee from the cup sitting next to my keyboard before it is finished.

        And automatic hyphens in dimensions like 3-3/4" or 10'-6" really helps to reduce the time I have to spend on LO projects and errors from missed hyphens.

          ... still in the Corner Bar , drinking calmly , watching my thread , a bit confused by the presence of some colleagues who have joined it but do not share a drink with me , I just have seen this post from thomthom

          http://sketchucation.com./forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=52454&p=475076&sid=9ff8f97711220da9a09bd3f1e972a9c3#p475076

          One of the things under the hood is a new supported C API SDK aimed to replaced the old unsupported C++ API SDK.

          Not something the end user benefits from directly right now, something that benefits the whole SketchUp ecosystem in the long run.

          so , it may be worth to wait and see , since our beloved Ruby needs the Masters

          but , a question raises to my mind ,
          should not we better pay the Masters for their work than to pay to Trimble ?
          is this upgrade simply a Tax to belong to this Company ?
          is it worth because the improves in Layout and the improves about saving animation in SketchUp ?

          ...........

          mmmm ..... have to think about it
          I´ll get another beer

            Did realize it was invitation only. Besides, it's just after 8 in the morning. Too early for me to have a beer. Enjoy your drink.

                    ah ... well ...
                    time to get back to**work**

                    I have finally made the decision to uninstall SketchUp 2.013 from my machine and to stick to SketchUp 8 version


                    Great dissapointment .

                    Final of my conclusions : the logical process of a business is to invest some money on the development of something , and once got it , trying to sell it to the people interested and so being able to get the money back and if lucky to obtain benefit .
                    So now , in this case , it seems that the process is : first people invest their money so that the development can be taken and once got it , it is sold to the same people to get the benefits , without having invested any money first . ... brilliant ... 😞


                    Hi people see you later

                    Hi , Trimble , have a good day or whatever .

                    ,))),

                      should not we better pay the Masters for their work than to pay to Trimble ?

                      I have raised a question some time ago, but there was no feedback.
                      The question was: is the community mature enough to start a "kicksrater" for a new architectural modeling/drafting software? How much would it cost to get an initial version?
                      I imagine my own architectural software for a long time, but I am not capable yet of producing such a tool.

                      I worked with Archicad, but it is an old software with bad habits. Revit appears to be complex and not user friendly. I know there is Microstation, AllPlan, but I don't know much about them.

                      There was Octree architectural modeler with several interesting ideas, but it didn't get out from beta. It is dead since ca. 2000 😄 .

                        Hi tomasz ,

                        maybe we will reach a day
                        when we will become independent from Companies
                        but as it seems , and you are right , few people here want to hear about it yet

                        Time to Time

                        It must be ? a question of patience and resistence to prove that it is the future path to follow
                        if things keep turning as they do now

                        get a drink 👍 Cheers
