sketchup 8 review?
Anybody have any feedback, positive or negative for sketchup 8? I'm thinking of upgrading. You might want to check out this thread: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?55046-cad-drawings-to-sketch-up You can have it here:http://www.sketchup4architect.com/articles/a-quick-review-of-sketchup-8.htm i notice that version 8 doesn't crash as much as 7 (BUG SPLAT!) I would keep v7 around just to make sure all your custom rubies work. With that and if the new features are good for you, you should be OK. You can download the 8 hour demo and see if the "new" features are worth the price. I know this thread is old, but frustration is not. In the early years before Sketchup had the insane “Google” moniker it was a promising and surprisingly useful tool. Crude by today's standards, but worked very well.Today is another story, it is EXTREMELY unstable and crashes frequently. I have over 10 gigs of memory and it will still freeze up just trying to cut a wall fro a window?? I would not if you haven't already invest in this worthless time wasting program.
If you want a program where you can wait several minutes and I mean minutes not seconds, to change tools in the tool menu then this is the program for you. Something does sound wrong there. I am not sure what but I would save my file back to v7 and see how it does there. Is this file extremely large?
I don't use Sketchup very much, but we have a guy in the office that does use it quite a bit. He hasn't been experiencing any freezing, crashes or instability and he has been working on some fairly large scenes with only 4GB RAM in his machine. Can you give us a little information about the type of scenes/models you're working on and post some screenshots of your files? Also, what are the full specs on your computer? from what I've heard, high RAM wont really increase your performance in sketchup. I think capabilities would be more weighted on the processor and the video card. What are your specs in these areas? Thanks for responding, on most Google forums I am ignored, or told to trade out my $400.00 graphics card for a different one? No one says what one of course.
