damnit sketchup. wish I could get a 2016 license. not sure if i'll pick up a classic for the rest of time.

Is it possible to have length snapping with DrawAlong? I can't seem to have it working . . .

well I guess it isn't that interesting anymore

interesting that there was no "Sketchup 2020 release" thread this November..

when do you think they will end classic / perpetual licensing?

I'm curious what features they roll out 'periodically' with the subscription I mean if it takes them a year for dashed lines...

dashed lines and some other stuff

I hope sketchup pro moves to web platform and we can finally get rid of those pesky desktop versions once and for all.

That would be my last day with SU

I'm hoping "function" was joking, but if not YIKES!

If SU were to be Web only, Solo would need to change his name because there would be a heck of a lot of SU users joining him out the door.

I am one of my own downvotes. I am stuck perpetually in 2017 Make.

skp boulder is too busy making lame youtube videos

Small feature request, but I'd like the ability to show area in a different measurement to the drawing dimensions.

I'm not sure how things work in America, but in the UK and Europe detailed architectural work is drawn in millimetres, and square metres are used for areas.

When a client asks: how much paint do I need, seeing 8483472mm2 is quite confusing. I currently have to switch the drawing units, see that it's 8.5m2, then convert back to mm to continue modelling.

YES!!! This is very very annoying...

use Matt666's Toggle Units plugin. It's very useful and it solves the area display problem too.

where is sketchup 2019!?
too many people are spending time making youtube videos for their channel instead of working on the program

for all future versions - all the plugins developed by the community over the years are now essentially behind a trimble pay wall. zoink

It's a real shame they won't be continuing with make. the online 'free' is clearly not a replacement for the desktop version. I started sketchup with the free version and found the tools I needed through the plugins, now new users won't be able to do that.

Sure they will. SketchUp 2017 Make will still be available as are several older versions. And the extensions will continue to work as they have.

They've ceased development on it, and replaced it with an inferior product bound to the web. New users won't get to experience all the plugins developed throughout the years, without backlogging to get an older product - which may be problematic on newer machines. It's just a real bummer, man.

Sketchup Make gone... hard to believe

How did you came to conclusion its fake?
I guess the page was 100% authentic, they simply posted it too early.

I agree, looked too good to be fake. Why bother faking a site anyway??

To lure people in buying a tampered software with injected code, maybe?... I know I sound paranoid and pessimistic, but it was just a theoretical hypothesis.

I thought that as well when I saw the site -
I'm pretty used to lack-luster sketchup releases at this point, 2017 was my favorite with just faster and better looking models. I've never used scalp and filled sections would be great!

made me think of the blender add on bool tools,
would love to see real time booleans like we have for cut out components to operate more universally like that

Thanks again TIG
