| A new home for SketchUp | 'Geo Mark' | 4/26/12 6:25 AM | Hi everyone, As you may have seen on our official blog, SketchUp is moving to a new home at Trimble. SketchUp’s user community has always been the heart and soul of our product, and I think you’ll agree that our time at Google has been exciting and |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | c j ryan | 4/27/12 2:09 PM | Hi Geo Mark (and the SketchUp team), Any hints as to what "better served" actually means? Does Trimble intend to incorporate it into it's other products? What advances in SU do they intend to pursue? Will if still be free ( I have the Pro version, bu |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | c j ryan | 4/27/12 2:15 PM | OK, at least there is some discussion of this at sketchucation. |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | waynelund | 4/27/12 2:35 PM | Now I am really scared! The corporate video included everything but the kitchen mouse. Just one question: Will this forum be as congenial in Trimble? oh, and just where do I click now to see the run on to this forum? Thanks! PS: This forum has |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | 'Geo Mark' | 4/27/12 3:29 PM | Hi there seajayryan, One thing that's consistent about both Google and Trimble is that they don't make forward-looking statements about product development. Actually, that's true about SketchUp too (even before it was acquired by Google). I can say |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | Anssi | 4/28/12 1:29 AM | Wayne, The forum is made by its users. Do you think the change is going to change your character, or mine? :) Anssi |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | waynelund | 4/28/12 8:48 AM | Not knowing the ins and outs of the forum... but being a semi-frequent user, fear of change is present. Compuserve, ATT Webmail, Symantec Q&A, DAK, Parsons, Computervision 4X, all pulled a disappearing act when least expected. |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | Colin Holgate | 4/29/12 7:22 AM | Although the nature of the forum might not change, its existence might. Will Google keep SketchUp help forums under product http://forums.google.com, if it isn't a Google product? |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | Colin Holgate | 4/29/12 7:23 AM | Hi Mark, you say that the free version will remain available under Trimble. How about the paid for one? |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | Anssi | 4/29/12 11:13 AM | I would guess that the forum is quite as important to the new owner as the present one. The web address is somewhat irrelevant. Furthermore, IT people seem to like to make changes to forums from time to time. The present incarnation of SketchUp produ |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | jagdpanther2 | 5/1/12 5:20 AM | the seling of sketchup could drive it out of the hands of the masses and make it only available to those who will pay, most sketchup users are not architects or rich. please show your support for saving sketchup follow this link. |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | jagdpanther2 | 5/1/12 5:28 AM | i am appealing to the general public and thesketchup team, we can work together to create a free version of sketchup and make sure that"3d modelling for everyone" still exists. please follow this link. http://saveske |

| Re: A new home for SketchUp | 'Geo Mark' | 5/2/12 3:57 PM | Hi everyone, To re-iterate some of the details of SketchUp's move to Trimble that were shared in our blog post and also in Trimble's FAQ, the free version of SketchUp and the 3D Warehouse are not going anywhere: if you use the free version of SketchU |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | SnowTiger (Chris Mowat) | 5/3/12 4:24 AM | Hi GeoMark Is it possible for me to still Upgrade from SU v7 Pro to v8 Pro at a Discount Price ? If so, for how long might I still be able to do that before I have to pay Full Price ? In either case, for how long might I make that purchase at Googl |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | 'Geo Mark' | 5/7/12 6:10 PM | Hi Chris, I can't say exactly how much longer you'd be buying SketchUp Pro from Google as opposed to Trimble. If this distinction (and any applicable discount) is important, I suppose I'd recommend making a decision soon. Mark |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | 'Geo Mark' | 5/8/12 12:01 PM | Hi everyone, A brief update (because there is no detail to share quite yet): SketchUp's move to Trimble means that there will be a new Terms of Service/Privacy Policy. These new terms are not available yet; you can keep track of these changes here, a |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | c j ryan | 5/9/12 7:16 PM | Again, "at least there is some discussion of this at sketchucation". Mark, this is old news at this point. Why not be pro-active, tell us before it's posted elsewhere. We'd appreciate it. Don't mean to sound like I'm sure I did... but... I check ou |

| Re: A new home for SketchUp | c j ryan | 5/15/12 5:48 PM | Sorry Geo Mark, I must have seen it moments after it was posted on the Google/Trimble page, because after reading it, I saw no mention of it here or on SketchUcation. And I apparently was the first to make note of it on SketchUcation. But it's all g |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | billbell52 | 5/17/12 8:35 AM | Actually, I am not surprised by this. When I discovered SketchUp several years ago I wondered why Google was doing it. It certainly couldn't be making a lot of money. I found out about Google Earth and the ability to put 3D models in GE. I figure |

| Re: A new home for SketchUp | SUGOD | 5/23/12 3:57 PM | ...and with one stroke of the mighty pen the great adventure that had been SketchUp for all is now over.

| Re: A new home for SketchUp | Aerilius | 5/24/12 2:33 PM | You mean we have to plead to almighty SketchUp God for the rescue? |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | Air Canada | 6/11/12 11:49 PM | Dear Trimble, I was wondering if you would grant me access to one last model revision because first of all, no one told me that the number of revisions were limited and they say they would contact the owners but at the same time, most of the owners a |

| Re: A new home for SketchUp | Robbert5413 | 6/14/12 4:14 AM | the download page of google scetch up is not working at all so I and other people can not download google scetch up anymore. |

With that said I cannot take the chance of installing it unless eve |
| Re: A new home for SketchUp | garystan | 6/29/12 7:32 AM | Geo Mark : As long as Trimble doesn't shut down the Forums. The Forums are the "life-line" to users. This is where user information can be found. |
