Wishlist for SketchUp 2018

Normal windows built in voice recognition software works easily with SU, I used it years ago but gave up on it when working with others in a too noisy environment.

Not the same as a dedicated SU interface. As I understand 3rd party speech recog... EG; to open a group for editing... I would have to say 'double click'. To orbit I would have to speak the assigned shortcut instead of just saying 'orbit'.

Not necessarily. It is quite possible that the voice recognition software can work with voice macros. You say orbit and the short cut is executed.
Voice activated software has come a long way in the last few years and can actually work with the powerful hardware that we now have.

I will check it out, thanks.

Yeah man, what's up with these material, scenes and layers palletes? We need those better. And we need everything else otb mentioned.
I second that motion! Just want to add extra notes to the following:
- "Export to 2D" features
-please make scenes tickable /selectable! I have 100++ scenes, there should be a tickable box or better the shift+drag mouse+click scenes that you only wanna export, that would really be handy, just like how you select items in windows/Sketchup environment, you highlight them and drag them, shift click to add/remove, etc.. that kind of gestures. Right now I am just using a paid plugin from Smustard, really helpful but it's one click per scene only, still very manual selection, author hasn't updated it.
- Scenes
-option to batch rename, reorder, reorganize, group, Shift+Click to select and drag to position you want, shift+click to unselect..etc.. these kind of gestures that's normally used in Windows environment. Just like how a Photoshop layers behave. Our hands are used to this pattern already. Sketchup should catch up.
- Layers
-similar to CAD or Photoshop, very easy to manage & organize, an idiot proof approach
.I've been using Sketchup since version 7, now there'd been upgrades on features but these panels hasn't received notable updates! Skethup 2018 developers, kindly look at these areas. Thanks!

I rather doubt anyone from Trimble actually reads threads like this, but on the wild chance they do....
My wish list for oh, at least the last 10 versions:
Drawn lines should be drawing elements that can display their own color and line form per whatever the end user wishes them to do.Please redo the menu structure under textures. Get rid of "Position" and put in its place the commands located under "Position".
Stop the display of the "Unable to load image file" popup message when one does a control-c on the file name, control-v to the materials name box while creating a new material.
Thank you.

Speed and large file capabilities. They always say we'll just ask for more but SketchUp is always behind on what one needs for working on typical models for typical small building projects, let alone for adding landscape, and other models that are handled easily by other software.
