Looks like it's getting closer and closer to BIM. I hope they dust Autodesk

OK,

I got questions after a quick and cursory review.

How does one pay for sketch up ?

You PM me and I give you my address....you mail me a check for $1,000.00 and it better not bounce.


Just download it and use it.
If you insist on paying, follow the advice above

Re: Sketchup 7!!


Isn't it still free for the basic and $$$ for the "pro" version?

Re: Sketchup 7!!


Yes, it is. But the free version has the same functionality, you just can't export in all the different file formats. It also does not include LayOut, which is a surprisingly useful program.

The way Sketchup is heading, I would not be surprised to see it develop into a full blown architectural program suitable for working drawings and the like.

I'm just now getting into using Sketchup, but find some things difficult. Post some drawings you guys have done. I'm a little embarrassed to show mine yet!

Re: Sketchup 7!!


So what is a feature of 7.0 that makes it worth upgrading?

I'm no expert with SKU but I try!

I was recently contacted by a customer wanting a shower floor repair. Severe damage and rotted wood, you may have seen sme of the pics on another thread!

I kept trying to convince him to upgrade to a full bathroom remodel but he wa standing firm on just the shower repair.

I naturally worked up a SKU and sent him these images. Needless to say he signed for the upgrade to full bathroom remodel last night.


This is what the bathroom will look like if I just repair the shower!



This will be the result of a full remodel!



Sketchup can be a very useful tool!
