I just loaded a huge model in to SKP 2013 trial, and was like owning a AMD dual core 2gig system again.
running like this is not fun or enjoyable, sent information to SKP as per link asking them why are they treating users like "Lord of the rings"... "Ooooo shinny Buttons Master,, Must have shinny buttons"

and i am using many plugins but they were working fine with it and suddenly this happen.
and besides i installed sketchup 2013 with no plugin in it but still sketchup crashes whenever i tried to import vismat material.

This is a key issue for loads, they want your money to subscribe, but wont look into GPU/CPU HD4000
I have to build large office layouts, many rooms and floor's walk through's and more, and the layer system needs to be looked at more effective and faster, i.e. right click object move to 1 of 10 layers,

Funny how people will just roll over for a few shinny buttons....

I'm wondering if one can buy 3dsmax second hand, maybe an earlier version like 2009 or 2010 at a great price? Maybe ebay?

with the export dae files Blender makes nice grass for free do all your standard build in SKP. then export to blender for some nice animations and rendering
just a cheep option from MAX3d

Here is my Build and will see me past the next 5-10 years i hope

Asus Z9PE-D8 WS
2X Intel Xeon E5-2667 2.9GHz Six Core 15MB 130W
2 x Corsair Hydro H60 Rev2 Liquid Cooling System for 2011
7 120mm fans in the case Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Full-Tower
128 gig corsair 1600
2x Quadro 4000 3gig each SLI ((items i had from old system not in price below))
Dual boot Linux & Win 8 pro

best £6874.98 i spent ((did sell the ex-wife to get it ))

Thanks for all the input above,,

But i would like to see some major improvements for 500 Euros, that sort of money can buy other products, that dont crash or lag out when your building large architecture subjects
EVGA Workstation dual Xenon system, and the i have not seen any better productive GPU use as its still CPU reliant.

Seems a huge shame that they are investing your money into a database to sell you more products, and not bringing Sketchup into 64bit OS, or even GPU use...

currently can anyone show me a proof we are not being held to ransom subscribe or get a bill for not backing the database..
If they dont bring the software up to date, will they lose more than they presume to gain..
Programs like Blender, are snapping up users of sketch up due to the free and built in rendering animation and more, when your paying for a piece of software it has to beat the free ware options out there, why else make a investment, ? in a win95 32bit program, with some go faster stickers on it

Greetings all

I'm somewhat confused, what does the 2013 pro offer to justify up grade from SKP 8 Pro.. as i cant see the gains regarding work Layout is still the same, no enhanced internal rendering, no CUDA Cores or GPU enhancements..
Love SKP 8Pro, just dont think or feel that few fancy icons or new plugin data base is worth the upgrade cost,

If i have missed something please help me see what i have missed, feel this is a lot of money for a minor upgrade..(More like a patch fix)

Not aimed to offend anyone just asking what the big improvement is for the money in the Program it's self

Thanks for any advice on the new version

Must agree max 3d is brill i make loads of models in SU export in 3ds load into max 3d and even export back to su and use Kerky or thea.
