Re: Hot off the press: Fresh new features!

I’m sure that most (if not all) of you received the notification about the “Shiny new SketchUp 2019 + LayOut” roll-out. It doesn’t show in the e-mail itself, but the notification in my inbox says that it is “life-changing”:

I could certainly use a change in my life … but I don’t have SketchUp Pro :disappointed_relieved:

I have a different issue. It says “Get them today” but it doesn’t say how. I hit Check for update in SU and it said I was already up to date. What to do?

Simon you can get the download from THIS PAGE.

I just re-installed 2019 Pro yesterday, I had to re-set Windows 10 in June and have been using 2018 Pro.

It said 30-days trail ended buy Pro version. I added my serial and auth number and it accepted it.

In the Help tab scroll PASSED check for updates to About SketchUp …

You should see this dialog:

if it helps. It should just update seamlessly …Peace…

Thanks Dave. I probably should have guessed that. Lazy really - we all expect a direct link!

Thanks
