SketchUp 2013! WOW

Harry · May 31, 2013

Just got an email and guess what?
Sketchup 2013 has been released.

But best of all...

This is what they say

Start modeling right away
No one wants to waste time learning complicated computer programs. SketchUp is hands-down the most intuitive and easy-to-learn 3D drawing tool on the planet. If you want to be productive within a couple of hours, you’ve come to the right place.
Model or re-model?
Need some inspiration for a 3D printing project? Or maybe you just don’t want to model a bolt washer from scratch. Browse through millions of models in SketchUp’s 3D Warehouse to find one you’d like to adapt.
Create any shape you can imagine
SketchUp’s Move and Scale tools have a knack for transforming simple shapes into amazingly imaginative structures. And with SketchUp’s Solid tools you can perform complex geometric interactions to bond objects together, subtract shapes from shapes, or isolate intersections.
Customize your own 3D toolbox
SketchUp’s Extension Warehouse makes it easy to find purpose-built tools that make you more creative and productive. Find just the right tool for the shape or part you’re trying to build.
Read and write STL
There aren’t many standards in 3D printing today, but most 3D printers require an STL file to get things rolling. Well, SketchUp happens to speak STL (thanks to an open source plugin)—and a whole bunch of other 3D file formats, too.
Take risks. SketchUp’s got your back.
We all know that immediate perfection isn’t part of any normal design process. SketchUp speed and simplicity support exploration, experimentation and outright dead ends by letting you make mistakes faster. And in the case of true catastrophes, there’s always Autosave.

What is the difference between SketchUp Make and SketchUp Pro?

Harry · May 31, 2013

Not sure to be honest. I had 2012 Pro, and was eligible for 2013 free so never tried the free version.

I really wish they'd release a Linux version of SketchUp. Ah well.

JDM_ · Jun 4, 2013

i just installed sketch up make and dont see any difference from regular sketch up. What are the new features?

Ross · Jun 21, 2013

According to the blog post, Sketchup Make is just a new name for the free version of Sketchup:

I guess this is why I didn't notice any functional difference.
