A great piece of structural Architecture not to be missed

Hello Vi
What a super stair to everywhere you have made.
Thanks again for all your good work

@Last is gone and the new owners view Sketchup just as a business.
The discount deal to subscribe is pretty good if the new features are really needed but you will be just a subscriber and with no feedback option like in the beginning.
IMO
If your most current SU does the job just keep your perpetual or free license and then you can use all your favorite plugins as well.
There is no way to be certain that the subscription versions will support your plugins in any case.
Even SU 8 with all the super plugins that there are is very powerful and complete for most modeling.
Sketchup in the beginning was and still is the best conceptual modeling program that one could hope for but is not a Cad program and Layout is not either.
For Cad and production drawings Give Turbocad Deluxe a look.
It is very configurable and icons for all functions with user definable keystrokes too.
It has Model space/Paper space/xref and underlay PDF features.
Also will import/export Sketchup/Acad/Dxf/Stl and more.
Very affordable too.
Sketchup 2018 is a good stopping point as even old legacy plugins and all of my favorites still work properly.

In the US the NCARB has sections for study for certification.

I am not sure of the cost for each section, but a start for you in any case.
One on one can be on the computer as well.

Good luck in your quest.

Just a heads up.

Reminds me of the last scene in Terminator 1.
The little Mexican kid says "la tormenta"
and Sara Connor replies "I know"
Did the Terminator ever get better?
A metaphoric reference and well meant.
