      No problem of overwriting previous versions ?

      No. As with every single release of SketchUp ever, the new version installs entirely separately from older versions. You can even keep using your old SketchUp 2 if you want. πŸ˜‰

        Just tried to update to the new version and it said that my license # was not correct. Since I have a maintenance agreement, I assume they will send me the updated license # very soon.

        Press F1...thank me later

          The license key and serial number for an older version never works on the newer version of SketchUp. Did you run through the License Wizard? It ought to give you the new license info.

            Oh, please, not again... 😲

            So a finally working offset tool, two new inference options and faster transparency are the top new features of 2017?!? How about the performance with 30 million non transparent faces? Or importing 3 million faces? Or executing ruby scripts?!?

            I hope they saved the best new features for a second video...

            But yeah, i always wished i could change the axis colors! Must have been really hard to implement! WOW! One color for every direction and i can adjust them separately! Well done. πŸ’š

            Looks like another wasted year... unbelievable. 😐

                Pilou, you should always install the latest version of all extensions when you get a new version of SketchUp.

                      no mystery there, Visualizer would need to be updated to Ruby 2.2 and development was frozen so it won't be...

                      it is probably a very easy fix if you can talk them into it...

                          Does anyone have any good examples of extensions for the Layout API?

                          https://blog.sketchup.com/developer/abcs-layouts-c-api

                          Just some stuff I do with Sketchup.

                            For people who have/make custom ruby plugins: the way you install / enable extensions has been slightly changed.
                            Just in case:

                            1. zip your loader.rb (+ folder)
                            2. rename the zip to rbz
                            3. install by using the extension manager.
                            4. In the extension manager - choose the settings (top right) and choose 'unrestricted'

                            wasn't this the case with SU2016 already?

                              @juju - In 2016 You can just drop stuff into the plugin folder and it is loaded at the next start

                                Does this mean that all rb must be rewritten to a rbz with a loader to function in 2017?

                                  You can still drop .rb files into the Plugins folder, but you must have the Extension Loading Policy set to "Unrestricted" or "Approve" which has computer security ramifications.

                                      The old way still work for me (drop stuff in plugin folder)
                                      Visualizer not working for me too 😞

                                      The extension manager is really better...

                                          minor annoyance I have is that IE11 (I use Chrome for browsing but keep IE installed as SketchUp uses it) keeps on popping up now that I didn't have with the previous version, anybody else experiencing this?

                                            aaarrgh!

                                            starting to load extensions (starting on EW) and already have 3 that you can only install from EW directly that have licence issues... seriously??!!!

                                            the new version isn't starting off so well...

                                            I am impressed with the LO updates though, I hope the actual lives up to webpage I read on it.

                                            SU2017 is 64-bit only, I can see some whining there but not from me though, I never needed the 32-bit version in SU2016...
