SketchUp 2015 is 64bit

I do not see a maintenance release at sketchup.com. Where did you see this?

Rich O Brien

You won't see it as yet. But the downloadable file should be the newer maintenance release.

As I explained - the SketchUp 2015 Release Notes are not currently up to date with the installers' actual 15.1... versions.
But if you download and install from the current links you'll get v15.1...
Unfortunately the Release Notes still say 15.0... because they have not yet been updated !
And Trimble have made no proper announcement !

We are actually doing a favor to any users who were having problems installing v2015 in its initial format, and to the tardy SketchUp/Trimble guys - by announcing their updated version, which has been available since the end of last week, but which Trimble have failed to publicize thus far !
Why they have elected to do this, when M1 is to help users with difficulties in installing v2015, and they won't know there is a fixed update available - available since last Friday - it'll be Wednesday shortly !

does 'check for update' work?
or is it not in that pipeline yet?

I don't think so...
Trimble are way behind on their game with this whole update...

If you download the appropriate installer from the usual SketchUp pages, ...

What "usual Sketchup pages" would that be? When I upgraded, I mistakenly clicked out of the page for the download and it was only by chance that I found my way to a page with the correct download file. I should have bookmarked it, but I didn't. Shouldn't Trimble have sent out an email to licensed users?

Ha! Too simple. That's it, thanks!

The issue was not installer crash - it was a crash upon launching SketchUp once it had been installed. This was happening on certain custom locations such as root of a drive or unicode paths. The patch prevent the crash and let SketchUp work in the root of a drive. Though installing to unicode paths will still fail to load the Ruby StdLib so some extensions might not work.

It won´t be pushed to existing users like most of our normal maintenance releases has been. This is because if you where affected you would not have been able to update because SketchUp would crash upon launch. If you where able to start SketchUp then you have no need for this update.
This is more of a hotfix than a maintenance release.

@tt
so the advice for us to pass on to those who crash on first start-up, should be to...
submit the bug-splat for the download link?
or
simply re-download?

Glad that's been clarified - elsewhere I was sure someone said it was a crash when installing M0, rather than a BugSplat when starting M0...

So you don't need M1 unless you were having problems starting M0.

Of course unless you submitted a splat-report for M0, then you won't learn of M1's existence unless you read this post, or you decide to try downloading the installer again - but why would you? - with no announcement you'll expect it to be the same as the one you had already - so you'll just remain pissed-off with SketchUp and bemoan the lack of an update - which is actually there, but which has been secretly launched, so you haven't found out about it...

The Release Notes are still confusingly out of step, for anyone who decides to check their version against those... versions are shown for M0 [15.0...] not M1 [15.1...]

hellnbak

I hate problems (duh!), but so far 2015 has been well worth dealing with any that have popped up (and there have been surprisingly few for such a major rebuild)

Yay Trimble Team, thanks for all your hard work (take tomorrow off for a job well done )

Now I'll take off my cheerleader outfit and go back to bed

hope that didn't excite anybody

But currently Trimble have not been able to update their Release Notes which still speak of 15.0...

I understand that the main changes were made to fix issues experienced by a few PC/MAC users who could not install 15.0... without a crash ! and to fix another rare crash with some users when trying some Layout fly-outs...

Interesting - my version still says 15.0 and when I clicked on the Check for Updates link, it says I have the most current version.........

TIG

This update [M1 -- 15.1...] is more in the nature of a 'hotfix'...
[Says Trimble]
So it does not register as an update if you check from within SketchUp 2015.
Their logic is... if you get to the point where you can check for an update within SketchUp v2015, then it has not done a BugSplat as it opened - so you don't need the update !
If you already have v2015 loading and working OK then 15.0... is fine - no need to update !
If you have BugSplats when running v2015 then download and install 15.1... from the ../downloads/all link I already provided in an earlier post...

Yeah, After I went back and reread some of the posts I see no need for me to update..

I will continue having fun with what I have....

Just instruct them to download M1. We identified the bug so we're not in need of the crash data for that bug for M0 any more.
The BugSplat message is a convenience for those that do submit a splat - saves them from contacting support.

The US office has taken gobble gobble vacation now. I started my vacation yesterday - in London visting some friends. I would have gotten lonely to be working this week with no one replying.
