Hey all you SketchUppers We have a pretty big announcement coming down the pike that we feel you’ll appreciate knowing about sooner than later so you can plan accordingly. Specifically, we’re moving away from the Google provided geographic data. This has important implications for both satellite im…

As a Google Certified Geo Modeler, that link led to one of the saddest post I have read in a long time. Can’t tell you how many people I know, and have spent 1000’s of hours modeling buildings for the Google Earth 3D layer. We were even invited to the Google Headquarters for Geo Modelers Summit wher…

My post was clearly not “off topic”, “spam”, or “inappropriate”. I did not use foul or abusive language. Rather, I pointed out Trimble’s deceptive method of getting people to pay for an upgrade. I further pointed out that Trimble has breached its contract with users who paid for a license to use S…

I am sure there are any number of features in SketchUp that some users use and that some don’t. And apparently the geo location feature is not one you need. But this topic thread addresses a huge problem for a significant number of users who rely greatly on it.

One of my prior seemingly innocuous posts was also flagged for unknown reasons.
