It's sad not to have friends in the same field to exchange knowledge.Īlthough I must say on the Forum I got a lot of kind and clear help. My creativity flows like water with SKU in Blender but so much. I have many buildings in different stages (big building up to 60 floors) that I design in SKU. My SketchUP file is importing into Blender but with the materials is a nightmare. I always noted them but then never checked further to discover SketchUP. I recall many years ago I lived in South Africa I saw these pretty ads in a magazine that were black and white sketches of a cityscape. If I am correct the 19 is the last permanent version.īut I am concerned SKU has something in the software that will block my 19 versions.

I am afraid if I install the free version on the same PC somehow it may affect my 19 version? Wow I hope SKU not read this they'll put a stick on the wheel.īut still the 3D warehouse is still off limits.Ĭan I install the free version on the same computer on another hard disk? Kharma has a way of dealing with such guttersnipes, at least it did before tech was gutted of its leading talent and business CEOs took over, back when 'dark mode', 'flat icons', and new smileys would have been considered minor version feature additions rather than major version headliners. Blocking the ability to download warehouse files in 2018 format just seems a twisted and bitter move, worse than just simple greed it was spite that motivated them.

It's not as if Trimble spent time or money adding any features to the free desktop version through 2018, nothing but an insignificant cost would have prevented them from continuing a free desktop version sans any added features. Yes, the crappy, crippled, and riddled online version technically meets that criteria, barely, but it most certainly breaks the intent and spirit of the deal they agreed to. Yeah, but part of the sales agreement stipulated that Trimble had to maintain a working, free version of Sketchup.
