Simple drawer glides - is this a bad design?
PMBI from a newbie, but how did you do those drawings?
Is it simply MS Paint, or is there a program that specially does projects like this? |

Has Trimble kept the software pretty much the same, or gone and made big (negative) changes? Most changes by Trimble have been 'under-the-hood' and barely noticeable as far as 3D modeling/drawing capability from previous versions. I have noticed an increased sensitivity to axis/plane issues, especially with imported files (.dwg) that may contain "Layer" information in the imported file. But that is not necessarily a bad thing once you realize that this is due to an increased, more faithful reproduction of the imported original into SketchUp, and that "layers" are handled differently in CAD vs 3D modeling.

Puckdropper Don't fear upgrading, the install for later versions are separate. You can have multiple versions installed on your computer. Just be aware that any drawings that are made from an earlier version and opened/modified under a later version should be saved with a unique name. Older files saved under later versions will no longer be able to be opened with an earlier version. |

Puckdropper Pretty much the same however there are a couple of extra icons, the one that comes to mind is the arc icon/pie icon. Plugins are now handled differently and some of the older non approved plugins no longer work. I have not had too much of an issue with that as there are still a load to choose from if the one you had no longer works. |

Thanks everyone.
Sketchup Make is the free version. Is sketchup v8 better? Would there be advantages to move over to v8?

But Sketchup 8 is also free if it is still available. Better than v2013 or v2104, not from my experience. FWIW Sketchup Make is simply the new name for the free version. Sketchup has had a free version since IIRC V4. Unless you are a pro there is no reason to move to the "pro" version. dadiOH wrote: "Pringles CheezUms" wrote in message PMBI from a newbie, but how did you do those drawings?
