I just thought "why not ask here", after on the trimble forum I got smacked for asking
Just where common sense tells they would most welcome that. ![:exclamation: โ](https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/2757.png?v=3orp1bvic7q)
My question, maybe someone here knows? (and doesn't smack):
What is the cheapest price to nowadays have layout, any discount/coupon/voucher for those (older-than-students) who just "play around" for now with make - until one day (hopefully) setting up a business where sketchup skill would be useful?
PS (for the curious only):
I consider myself a beginner, and always will (so powerful it is), despite have played with sketchup for a decade. My %$ยทยท$" government hasn't given me my rightful correct ID and so my life is still(!) being put on hold unnecessarily, and I still cannot build the business that I've been wanting to build for years (building certain types of homes). Hence why I cannot possibly spend on commercial licences, yet, and that's the only thing that trimble sells if you are 30ys PAST student age ![:astonished: ๐ฒ](https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f632.png?v=3orp1bvic7q)
How daft. Microsoft know better, ha! Even &"%$ google do. Both nurture you to be loyal. And so you are. Few understand their business concept, hence why few have their success. ![:stuck_out_tongue: ๐](https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f61b.png?v=3orp1bvic7q)
Wondering why layout? 'Cause I bought Matt's archit. package but cannot access the layout templates, not even view them, and realized the purchase was pretty pointless without following along what he explains. Strange thing is, I remember to have had layout (still have it), but since trimble took over (with their more noob business concept) you need a licence to view your own old layout files. I WANT them to earn money, no doubt, and am "happy" to pay them ALSO, just not agreeing to be considered a commercial user, since ... I am NOT. This fact alone shows how noob trimble's business concept and marketing is. ![:exclamation: โ](https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/2757.png?v=3orp1bvic7q)
Now you know all my history, feelings, business background, and personal opinion, LOL, what's yours? All of it, please. ![:green_heart: ๐](https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f49a.png?v=3orp1bvic7q)
(yeah, it's "bank holiday" here, hence why I can write all this today
