      Get them to add apps and render, Rayscaper for example and see if Trimble are worried in any way.

      I do not expect Trimble to panic because the early doors previews of software can differ a fair bit from released builds. Interesting thing though.

        Very very interesting. How do get around windows defender. I get this message when I try to open the EXE file I get this " Windows protected your PC
        Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk."

        App:
        ingetrazo-setup-v0.5.3.exe
        Publisher:
        Unknown publisher

            Just accept the risk and install it - the installer has not been 'signed' to Microsoft's liking, BUT the software is regarded as fully legit... Hopefully they'll fix the installer glitch in the future...

              That and the installation being in Spanish.

                Google Translate on their web pages works well enough, but the installer's instructions are pretty obvious, even when in Spanish ? It is written by an engineer in Peru - so his principal language is Spanish, the installed app itself uses Spanish, Portuguese or English [and metric or imperial dimensioning] so it's easy enough to use once it's been installed. They are working on an English version of their pages and installer dialogs. It's only a few weeks old !
                It's certainly NOT SketchUp, but shows what can happen when rewriting something from scratch, based on many features of a tried and trusted format like SketchUp... and of course it's free, multi-platform and even has dark-mode !

                  I think the result thus far is pretty amazing but tbh, during install there was only one of three options which made sense. I guessed correctly. Pretty sure all the little niggles that mean anything will be fixed before v1.0 at least. Increasing the tool buttons and menus will be handy for those of us minus 20/20 too. Potato/Banana..........

                    I have tried downloading the installer but cannot get it to show up in my downloaded folder to try to install it. I also keep getting messages that say it should not be trusted.

                    Can someone give me a link to something where I can go try it? I am running Windows 11.

                        OK, I finally have it installed. Now it is time to do some learning. I was thinking (from the original post) that this was an extension of Blender. I see it is a completely separate app. Now I have to do some testing/learning. It will be interesting to see if there is any response from Trimble.

                          If it really does have similar inference functions, geometry generation, and display capabilities, then it will be very interesting to see how it performs. And to what extent they can integrate multithreading and GPU utilization...
