So for maintain maintenance and support, you still have to pay for major upgrades?
If you pay your yearly maintenance and support fee you are entitled to all the major upgrades Sketchup releases as well as any maintenance release in the meantime.
I'd really hate Sketchup to be turned into a subscription.

The 2 and 3 year old S&M will be gone next monday (13th). this might be a release date for 2018.

Subscription will kill software.
There was MS Office, now there is Libre Office and WPS Office
There was Photoshop, now is Affinity Photo (which accepts Photoshop plugins, by the way)
... and many more.
I said "was" because the more people go into this new software, the less popular the giants will become.So, for each crazy priced (and subscription based) software, there are smart people to make a cheaper (and many times better) alternative, so the giants will have a fair competition.
I just hope SketchUp won't go that path, but mostly for nostalgia, because anytime someone else can come out with a better option... -

I'm sure you are impressed by the price too... and by the way, it does if not all, at least most operations non-destructive (eg. resizing layers). I started using it, but I have to check some tutorials, to get the workflow better.
Some say that in certain aspects is rather slow (raw processing), but the software is not that old overall (two years). -
SU 2018 appears to be available in Oz.

Dunno if this is spoof or real...

@chrisjk - I would like the Named Sections, Filled Section Cuts, Fast Sections and DWG Import in Layout.
Not sure what to make of 'Scaled Vector Drawing'...
-
Looks like they are improving BIM which is good!
-
I’m getting soooooo excited!

I tried to download free trial, it sends back to the 2017 version
Hope there will be other improvements, but section cuts fill would be great !

General impression based on this .au page- practically nothing

Yeah doesn't seem to offer much for the typical SketchUp user. LayOut improvements might be appreciable (though I doubt it would tempt me to do my serious drafting in LO), but if you are not into LayOut or BIM...
Well we'll see.
-
Turns out it's a fake page.
-
Especially for suffering juju, Trimble Brazil leaked 2018 promo vid (new features start at 1.38):

Haha. Nice one!
-
If somebody wants to see deleted page with information about SU 2018
-
Sure do hope this is fake. If this is true it's even worse than expected.
SketchUp only gets advanced attributes as a new feature???
IFC export/import we have already and sections we already have with the Skalp extension. -

IFC export currently defaults back to IFC2x3 even if you imported and used IFC4.
I have SKALP as well, so this is a little disappointing, however there are a great many users who do not have it. I wonder what the native support would look like? Let's hope they bought SKALP and incorporated it.
Advanced attributes? Very useful as well! Let's hope it is not a rumour.
I'd love to see the DWG import in LO, useful!
Also, let's hope some of these are Pro only (obviously improvements to all except SU is pro only) to differentiate more between the two.
Anyway, I guess we'll have to wait and see for the official release.
-
I thought we'd at least get the release before the first complaint.
