In fact we were told that Trimble was going to use SU to develop a NEW BIM system (iirc). Years later and nothing yet.

Don't forget the $120 fee for dashed lines year before last

Well Chip, we knew that they would edit your posts. I'd expect a ban from the forum any time now. Nice to be able to come here and "vent" if needed.

End of the road for me,

Same SketchUp you love, a new way to buy

Today, we announced that we will stop selling our Classic Perpetual Licenses and Maintenance and Support renewal plans after November 4, 2020. If you own a Classic Perpetual License today, you will be able to use the…

I'll be spending my time over the next couple of months looking at other options for my personal use.

Yep, I was gonna come here and comment on this latest subscription racket. It's been 2 years since I last paid Trimble any money, and it doesn't look like I will give them any of my money in the future.

Any one that has dealt with Trimble in the past knew that this was coming. Waiting for the non paid evangelicals to “ justify” this move

I think I found my own answer, just change the crop size upper left of this s shot?

this was too easy sorry for asking something like this.

Also pretty easy in the free Paint.net....

I know Joe, just messing with ya

I can't do anything on my phone, can't see what's on the screen well enough. That's why I like to print out the map but thanks for the tip.

Joe, you need a bigger phone I have a 6" LG and I use a magnet clip to attach it to the middle vent on the car to use for pandora, MP3s and maps.
Works well for me.

There are currently some pretty good drawing tools and 2.90 version brings an even better version of push/pull than SU s shown below. Plus there's going to be a while new set of CAD like snapping tools as well in 2.9

That's certainly a step in the right direction.

I'll say it again..when and I do mean "when" someone comes up with a drawing/input method for Blender that works like SU..it's GAME OVER! I love SU and have been using it since v3 but Blender is just growing in leaps and bounds!

If only there was a company that gave students and educators FREE copies of ALL of their products

Autodesk is doing that: teachers and students can get a set of more than 60 softwares (Autocad, Revit, 3DS Max, Maya...), all fully functional with minor restrictions, licences expiring after 3 YEARS.

Unreal Engine (TwinMotion), Abvent (Archicad, Artlantis, BIM Office...) do so as well, licences expire yearly.

IMHO these are clever long-term strategies...

And I repeat: I ain't no stingy guy until a software publisher charges me even several bucks to promote (in some way) its product.

Yeah, I know this LOTS of companies do it and STILL make a living. No surprise on Trimble not doing this.

If only there was a company that gave students and educators FREE copies of ALL of their products...but alas

Is this "trade policy" or Trimble Policy?

Ah, clever solution sir

Very nice Dave. Are the dashed lines done in post production (photoshop)?

Just a moment...

Interesting

Congrats and stay safe.

Definitely NOT her nor her opinions or anyone she trusts. She truly seems to be a horrible person.

Cool model and design. My wife and I sometimes watch these "tiny house" TV shows. I often joke to her that next season we'll see "Tiny House Homicide!" Let's stick 4 or more people in 300 sf and see what happens!

Ewwww....$25 USD for Designer.....tempting...

No idea about the 'new' iPad Pro but I have the previous one and while I can run SketchUp Free in a browser with a BT mouse it still is not really function able. There is no 'click-and-drag' function so it's pretty hard to draw with any precision. There may be some setting to "turn on" to allow this but I haven't found it.
