Sketchup was amazing when it was free and the extensions was open source and free. Anytime I dive back into the Sketchup world it seems that every damn extension is like $20-$150, and you need like 30 extensions for it to do all the things you need it to do. Add to that $350 a year "rental" fee. Fuck these companies man, everyone is just squeezing people fucking dry for a dollar. I miss the 2010's.
Sketchup is a great tool, but they've priced hobbyist makers completely out of the market. The Free version is far to kludgy and limited, and the pro version costs as much or more than the projects a typical home-shop woodworker would make. It really bums me out.
I use SU Go, and your remarks about learning are spot on. Your video about 7 essentials for beginning SU has saved me a lot of frustration. I appreciate your honest evaluation of SU for beginners. Thanks Engineer, Woodwork, part time metal hobbiest...
At more than 3X the price of an Office 365 subscription, the Pro version is just too expensive for hobbyist woodworkers and the Go version just doesn't offer the key features, like dimensioning and a cutlist, to make learning this thing worthwhile in 2023.
Hi , I have 1 query . Like in interior modeling I'm trying to use glossy laminate , super glossy laminate texture but after rendering in v ray it still looks in matte finish only . If I increase reflection value to maximum also . I don't know where it's going wrong . Please help me with this
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, the SketchUp 2023 rollout was a bit quiet, but I suspect more and more will be said about it in the coming days and weeks.
you can't make "round" circles in the free version if you are using it for 3D printing. In the Free version you can't increase the number of "segments" in a circle to smooth it out.
Yes, you can change the number of segments in the web-based SketchUp Free version. To do so, draw a Circle, then on your keyboard type 8s (for 8 segments) and press Enter/Return and your Circle will become 8-sided. Of course, you will probably want a smoother looking circle, but this will more visually show you that it is working.
Quite the contrary: The free version is really great for visually planning out your ideas. We just wanted to point out that - like other tools in your shop where you might start with cheaper options and then upgrade to higher quality ones as you value what they can do for you - most woodworkers eventually decide to invest in the paid version of SketchUp to get more out of it.

Right? I swear, every market is pulling these stupid tricks. They've got us by the you-know-whats

Great video as usual , but I wonder why there is no promotion about sketchup 2023 everyone is silent .
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, the SketchUp 2023 rollout was a bit quiet, but I suspect more and more will be said about it in the coming days and weeks.
Because there is nothing to "promote" as usual! Just pay the subscription and be happy

So basically you are telling we, woodworkers, that the free version is total crap. Nice one.

I have tried to download your notes with no success. Read comment from other user. Your cards would be a great help...
