We have nvidia Quadro cards at work & have to admit little difference for SketchUP, but do seem more reliable for AutoCAD etc.
I have a GTX 560 ti at home, it's a little noiser that I hoped for, but better than the office FX1800 card. No problem with SketchUP.

Design Review has a compare function, but the prints have to be exactly the same - any change in viewport position will mean the two drawings are "different".
Nanocad http://nanocad.com/ is a free AutoCAD clone (not tried). You should be able to insert both drawings into a third to overlay them - you can change the layer/object colours in both drawings to make it clearer.

Pass, AutoCAD 2013 hasn't been released in Europe yet.
I presume it'll be triangulated (although they may be hidden depending upon the visual style applied in AutoCAD).
SKUP "solids" may be converted into real solids in AutoCAD, but I'm guessing.

Sorry, never installed it, but it could be a newer version of AutoCAD DWG that SKUP can handle.

For software, AutoDesks 123D is worth a look

Thanks for keeping on the development of this tool; it's the first one I loaded years ago that made SKUP more familiar to an AutoCAD user.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this plugin, very useful!

Logitech g300 is a decent mouse, a little small perhaps for larger hands but comfy all the same.

Displacement needs subdivision of the mesh to work better ...
Thanks, got it now!

Garuf,
Thanks for the explanation, the site looks well.

The Kerkythea website has some SKUP lights with KT light bulbs that you could insert into your lamps - it would be a starting point anyway.
Best idea I can offer is to have a go rendering, then ask of the KT forum - they are very helpful if you have made some effort yourself & have an example to work with.
Can I ask how you modeled the "bowl" that is painted blue? It's quite a complex form & is well done.

Nicely done, is projecting mortar joints the norm in your area? We tend to have weather struck or bucket handle here to shed the water.

Still none the wiser though...

Thanks for sharing the ruby & providing the clear video, but can I ask what this would be used for?
I thought the mantra for SKUP was to minimise the numbers of edges & faces.
