Bitterly, bitterly disappointed by this anaemic version of the old Make

But, for many years, I used Sketchup Pro in a professional context and the biggest single difficulty was interchange with other professionals using other softwares and formats. In the commercial field the extra features are vital since without them it is virtually impossible to use Sketchup in anything but a vacuum. Those extras, of which you tend to be a little dismissive, are the key to full professional use communicating with other professionals. Without them Sketchup is only a basic modeller, However good it may be… it is still of very limited use in a professional context without those extras. In my professional context the extras were not extras … they were necessities. That makes them just as valuable, if not more so, than the modeller.

with the “vector-based data exchange formats” (= CAD formats as well as 3D formats) already mentioned as an important asset of the Pro version above, I doubt that all other functionality of your elaborated description are the key “neccessities” for many users, especially not all of them at the same time and with the same importance… otherwise Make wouldn’t be used in a ‘professional context’ that often… and imagine the value of a SU version without modeling tools or without extensions.

With the price range of roughly 50 to 100 bucks for a commercial Make version proposed by many users in several posts already, I still don’t agree that the removed fuctionality described above rectifies a price discount of ~80-90%.
