Clarifying "Google" SketchUp

@manilablock

Good morning, been a sketchup user for the past 5 years, and I really enjoyed the freedom to draw.

Thanks Google Sketchup

Welcome.

It hasn’t been Google SketchUp for more than 4 years, though.

Hi DaveR,

Why “It hasn’t been Google SketchUp for more than 4 years”?

It hasn’t been Google SketchUp for more than 4 years, though.

What @DaveR meant is the fact that SketchUp hasn’t been part of Google for 4 years. Is now part of Trimble.

Oh my! Did anyone else notice the incredible amount of comment spam in the above linked article - much of it in the last month!

Is anyone at SketchUp paying attention to comments on really old posts?
