SketchUp 2015 is 64bit
-
I like the Rotated rectangle tool, but it is very easy to get Z-Fighting with it.
-
Don't draw one rectangle on top of another.

Dave you're always a font of good advice, one might even say you are full of it.

Don't know if SU2015 will be a big success or another Windows 8, but at least it is breathing new life and an air of excitement back into the forums.
And after the (IMO) lackluster attempts at taking SU forward with R13 and 14, my fears for Sketchup's future after Trimble are now somewhat laid to rest.
They seem to be getting serious about making changes that really matter.
Kudos, Trimble
We're just getting warmed up!
It takes time to turn a big boat around.

Hi - Any advice on whether V-Ray 2.0 is compatible with 2015? Want to make sure before I upgrade and wipe out our rendering capability!
-
so, finally... 64bit. Thanks!
And if the slow exploding/importing is really improved, this is even better!
And the PhotoMatch upgrade looks very useful

Is this working with manually imported photos or only with images imported via special Trimble software?Concerning the new license system... so it is possible to install v8 and 2015 side by side and i'm not loosing my v8 license, right?
(the new arc and rectangle tools are nice to have but not really worth mentioning i think, the same applies to the fast styles - i suppose it will not be faster than simple lines...)

It's exactly the same as it's always been. You can have multiple versions installed and one license doesn't affect the other. They are entirely separate installations. And in case you haven't seen this before: Do not simply copy plugins from your old SU8 installation to SU2015. It's been repeat ad nauseum for most of the last year so you should have seen it by now.

Might be worth getting in touch with the V-ray people and get the information from the source.
-
The only downside I can see at the moment is that we now have 64 bit but I cannot think of a thing to do with it. No rendering for some time I reckon but at least I can get the modelling done in preparation. I just hope it is not too long for renders to begin.

And as has been pointed out, you can run both side by side. Which means even if Vray doesn't yet work with 2015 you can still model in it and render in 2014.

Congratulations SU team. This is a huge advancement for SketchUp. I was getting so frustrated with the software but now it's onwards and upwards I guess.
-
Guess you have to go get it 'manually'?

Not sure you'll get a message from the "Update" as this is an "UpGrade"...

Yes, for the moment. We typically wait a day or two to make sure everything is running smoothly before turning on the update service in previous versions.

Thanks, that makes sense.
Spoke to Chaosgroup and they're working on a free update for release as soon as possible.

I think it has to be recompiled to 64 bit. At least the Maxwell plugin needs an update...
