      NO!

      no improvements >>> no update!

      Why should i update it? To get a Trimble folder instead of the Google one? Or for the ugly icons? To feel good by paying a subscription fee? No... thanks!

        I'm a daily user and came here for info on whether to upgrade or not. It seems, based on the reviews here that I makes no sense. The upgrade price is not a factor. If there was some major improvement. Speed, 64bit, new tools etc. I do not use LO. I guess I'll wait a while.

          Tried 2013 for a few minutes. Tried to uninstall . .it screwed up my registry with SU8 (See "Issues" thread)

          I am thinking of going back to SU 5. πŸ˜‰

          If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

            I haven't gotten around to any serious use of LO and have seen to many issues with the conversion so I have little interest and too much apprehension. I will stick around in the V8 playground for a while longer.

              5? nah, 8 is where it's at.. it has the speed bump of 7.1 plus the solid tools

                    I haven't found any need to open SketchUp 8 or LayOut 3 for quite awhile. SU/LO2013 work fine for me. I like the speed increase in LO and the auto-hyphenated dimensions which speeds up my work in LO a great deal. I don't see any real differences with SU2013 in day to day operation except that I never have the scrambled toolbars any more.

                      Hi Guys,

                      We had a go with SU2013.
                      The only one improvement which we could see (and pay for) is the speed in LO or do I missed something?
                      I know that there is few other changes but... we are still using 8.0 PRO.

                      Don't like the new icons in SU and I'm surprised that LO still has the same and the most ugly icons I have ever seen in a 'PRO' software.

                      PS. If I would be SketchUp/Trimble, I will run some small competition IMMEDIATELY to design the LO icons πŸ˜‰

                      Regards, SU 'beginner'

                        LO Rendering Speed Increase & Hyphen @ Dims worth it alone.

                        I am however still not used to the new Tool Icons in SU....this will pass though.

                        Best,

                                I wonder if Jason Maranto decided to upgrade or just leave it... πŸ˜†

                                I haven't changed my POV -- I still have 8 Pro and use it occasionally, but I will not pay for any more SketchUp until there is something released which is worth paying for. That said, since nothing is new with me, and I've already said my bit on the SketchUp 9 subject, I've refrained from posting until such a time as new news is forthcoming from Trimble.

                                In the meantime I've been focusing on other software.

                                Best,
                                Jason.

                                I create video tutorial series about several 2D & 3D graphics programs.
