SketchUp 2013 Gripes & Bitchin' ONLY ;)
-
About ruby in x64, i saw development for ruby connection in revit(rubyShell project). They used ironRuby to support revit x64 platform...
Can SKU team such, if they read this? -
Ruby runs also on ARM (or sparc or whatever you want). If SketchUp were about to support ARM devices/desktops, they would without doubt be able to include the SketchUp Ruby API as well (with bigger or smaller effort for porting).
I think the reason is that x86 64bit is fully compatible with x86 32bit, it's just a "gimmick"/bonus that improves some tasks, but not all.Another "future gripe" (that hopefully comes not true):
It would be a mistake to follow for a mobile version the current "conservative" philosophy of native non-cross-platform development. We see already that it's too hard to even maintain two codebases for Windows and OSX without cross-platform technology (see the significant differences in UI, features and bugs). It would be not future-proof to build one app for Android and one for iOS with separate code-bases and at the same time locking out users of the growing alternatives (Firefox, Tizen, etc, etc, Windows Phone 8). It's a pluralizing market and by catching the common denominator, a lot of wasted effort can be spared. -

and? Trimble LayOut is on it(.NET framework) at windows...macos maybe at monoOSX, i don't know...
I point at x64 platform as it has normal memory management... -
But SketchUp isn't a .NET application. It'd be a complete rewrite of everything.
But I think MRI Ruby is available in 64bit anyway.

What are sku team doing from release of 8? (Tom, i'm also at influence of name's this topic)
for example, they was under gigantic company as Google, than become Trimble... please don't point thats small...even Maxon(8-12 developers) is having parallel development of cinema4d r15(current version is r14.042) -
Anyone else experience crashes with "X-ray mode on" with quadros?

Point being that switching framework isn't needed for 64bit Ruby. Just an information FYI.
And it's be completely unrealistic to rewrite the whole application - then you could just start all over.@ilay7k said:

Even though they where and are owned under large companies doesn't mean they have infinite resources and man-power. Google never poured developers at the SketchUp. They only wanted SketchUp for Google Earth integration - little more than that. At least Trimble has been hiring - new positions was announced immediately after the purchase was announced.

I got a Quadro 3800FX - no issues here. Driver version: 311.50.
Do you have issues on all models? And it doesn't crash is you disable Hardware Acceleration? What about plugins - does it crash when plugins are disabled?
-
Just a question:
How come other software companies says their new 64bit application is faster and Trimble says SU won't be?
Here's from Flash CC info:
"64-bit Flash Professional CC is more modular and delivers unprecedented speed and stability."(As a sidenote, speed improvements is NOT the primary reason why I want SU 64bit)
-
Don't think that refer to 64bit being speedier. From that one could say 64bit is more modular - which also makes so sense - 64bit is just larger data structures. Nothing related to speed or modularity in any way. I think one should read that is "Flash Professional CC is more modular [...]".

I'd recommend a read up on "64bit myth" - where you get full technical details and a number of developers.Examples:
http://www.synfire.com/content/myths-and-facts-about-64-bit
https://www.ableton.com/en/articles/64bit-myths-facts/
http://jervisdabreo.com/thetechcorner/tech-myth-a-64-bit-operating-system-is-faster/ -
Yeah, but I read one note in Swedish saying:
"•Flash Pro CC – helt ombyggd 64-bitarsarkitektur ska göra programmet snabbare och stabilare."
I just googled to find something in english for the post. -
Again - that's referring to "Flash Pro CC", not 64bit. Though it can appear misleading the way they present it there.

will be interesting to see all these users demanding a 64bit version bitching here again why there 4gb models are soooooo slow...

I'm falling into the same old trap...
-
the icons that follow my cursor around sometimes get sticky.
orbit seems to do it most often.
when i spacebar back to select... i'll be stuck with orbit.
have to manually go up and hit the icon, and then things switch over.latest SU pro 2013 update, latest and greatest mac osx.

It only happens like 30% of the time on a particularly heavy model, I'm running a Quadro 2000 with 311.50.
Thanks though, I think it must be this particular model.

I still find that changing tools is a pita, I have to select the new tool multiple times and am forever getting caught out when the tool STILL does not change over, then another crash because the program cannot deal with multiple tool requests.

?
Never experienced that. Does it also occur when plugins are disabled? -

on the rhino or sketchup thing..
i'm in the middle of a concrete project right now.. i like to use software to get cutlists to the crew.
super offtopic but..
here's some time lapse footage of the stuff i posted on page9 being built..
