One last thought for this thread, because I feel like this topic comes up frequently:
I can guarantee you that the SketchUp team is just as invested in the product as all of you power users. If it ever becomes obvious to us that Trimble is trying to kill the product, there will be a major outcry. It’s not the sort of thing that will stay a secret for very long.
With that said, from what I’ve seen in person over the past six years, Trimble has been nothing but 100% committed to growing the team and the product.
