Google SketchUp 7 released!
Two years in the making and the result of many, many people's hard work, Google SketchUp 7 has arrived.
First things first: We made a video to tell you about the new stuff in 7. I recommend watching it twice: Once to learn about what's new, and once more to see what programmers do when they're told to "just stand there" in front of a video camera. Feel free to microwave yourself some popcorn before you click "play".You can find an exhaustive list of what's new in 7 on our (aptly named) What's New in SketchUp 7 page, so I won't bother repeating everything here. Suffice it to say, there's a lot, and we couldn't be prouder.
For SketchUp 7, we decided to focus on three main areas:
- Making SketchUp easier for new modelers to learn
- Adding "power tools" for SketchUp Pro gurus who dream in faces and edges
- Clearing the way for even more model sharing and collaboration
To that end, we've done everything from making small changes that make everyone's life easier (like making it so that edges automatically split other edges where they cross), to launching LayOut 2 (a whole separate program that lets Pro users create detailed multi-page documents and presentations).
