    Hurrah, now Sketchup's free, I might start making a few parts for the SCC, if jazzle doesn't mind of course. :)

    I take it that it is assumed that only people working for businesses will download it. As a student, the compulsory details are hard to fill in...

    It looks like it's just a matter of the export options and the sandbox.

    Actually, the extrusion tool is not nearly as capable either.

    that's annoying. you think they've just gone back to SU4 or something?

    I've just had a quick play and it seems no different.

    Thank you, google. Do you know how perfect timing this was? I was going to order Sketchup TONIGHT and Inventor TOMORROW. I need both for a project, and now one is free!
    /me is so happy.
    Does anyone know how Google's going to make money offa dis? Professional licensing? In any event, :rock: . Totally amazing.

    Uh, the fact that you can use it for profit, as in major profit. Sketchup Personal is only usable as just that, a personal sketchpad. If you want to use it for profit, you gotta get Pro. I think. :confused:

    Could you give away Sketchup Personal files in free software, such as part of something open source?

    I'd think so, seeing that the files are your creation.

    I just meant are the features the same, or is it just one of those legal things?
