Google SketchUp 8

[SketchUp Guru]

In case you aren't aware of it, Google SketchUp 8 was released today, 1 September. It's got some new stuff like boolean tools (in the pro version). Might be worth a look.

I'm posting this from 3D Basecamp which is being held a block from the Google SketchUp offices in Boulder, CO. Lots of neat stuff to see and folks to chat with including some fellows from the UK and Ireland. Even a Scot in the bunch.

Unless someone beats me to it, I'll show some examples of the boolean tools when I get home.

FWIW, if you ever go to Colorado, remember to drink plenty of water. The low humidity will really dehydrate you.

Thanks Dave. I don't suppose there are any informed rumours of them bringing sketchup to the iPad are there and if so when that might be?

Steve, maybe we can hook up on Sunday and I can regale you with tales of Colorado and Google.

Noddy, nothing yet on on SU for iPad although it may come. Problem is, you really need a mouse with SU which as far as I know, iPad doesn't support.

Any mountain lions?

Last time I was there visiting a small software company, one of the secretaries had freaked out as she'd stepped out of the door one lunchtime and nearly stepped on a basking lion!

No mountain lions here but I did see a giant octopus in the Google Docs offices a few minutes ago.

If anyone is interested, I did up a little thing on some of the Solid Tools in SU8 Pro.
