Re: Sketchup free
I am just now getting into SketchUp, and thanks, John, for the HouseBuilder tip - that should add to the fun!
This is a fun program, and I am amazed how straight forward it is.

Re: Sketchup free
The Pro version allows you to export the animation as a video file.

Re: Sketchup free
I'm trying to upload a .skp as an attachment but the size is 41.4mb, and the compressed size is 19.7mb.
Why is it so big?
Thanks.

Re: Sketchup free

goto window/Model info/Statistics and press the obvious button

Re: Sketchup free
Where can I find all the pretty little pictures like drumsets, keyboards, desks, etc so that I can add them into my sketchup sketches?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Sketchup free
is it true that you dont have layout features unless you pay for pro?

Re: Sketchup free
I'm not sure Jonas - I don't use Layout.
As I understand it the main addition in Pro is the ability to export animations as video files
and you are entitled to use the program for commerical purposes.

Re: Sketchup free
I've tried twice now to download/install the free version of SketchUp 7.
Both times I got the "download successful" prompt, and the install wizard initially goes through the steps of installation, but every time I try to open the program I get the wizard asking me if I want to install, then takes me to a "repair or remove" prompt. I have installed/uninstalled, removed/redownloaded, and get the exact same results.
Am I holding my face wrong? I'm not very PC savvy, but my guts are saying there's a problem here.
Any help? Is there an additional download necessary?

Stetto - there's a good sketchup forum here:

ask your question there - it's independent from Google's forum.
