SDS2 Update

Work continues (albeit slowly) on SDS2. Pretty much all the major features have been coded. Now, it's the very un-fun nitty gritty UI, (internal) testing and optimization stuff. There's a couple of more complex features I'd like to add but they might have to wait until SDS3. I'm just not finding enough time to work on this stuff and I definitely want to release the next version this year.

Why is it taking so long? Well, this will be a MAJOR release. Heck, I might even purchase some ad space somewhere. Features, features, features....there will be many new ones. Almost every previous feature will be improved in some aspect but I am most excited about the new features. I hope they will take your SketchUp modelling to a whole new level.

Well, I suppose I'll release a tiny bit of info here:
  • Upgrade pricing will be available for those who purchased SDS
  • Vertex editing and SDS of selected faces will be in the next version

That's all for now! Stay tuned...

  2. hello.
    I'm really looking forward to this new version of SDS2.

    my only request. if possible is:

    that the information in the menus "only menus" (contextual menu plugins or tools, and toolbar) is not encrypted.
    in this way can personalize the menus. with many plugins is very difficult to sort to work

    greetings. and thank you very much for ahcer SketchUp, a program more interesting

  3. Is this going to be an upgrade for current users, or will current users need to purchase this new version?

  4. Dale, hope all is going well.
    I will be attending base camp in September and wondered if you will have anything available by then for me to showcase or preview?

  5. SD2 - Subdivision Modeling for SketchUp 3D Digital Modeling & Render.

    I can't find a download anywhere. I am excited about the release of this software, and using it on my latest project. Are you ready for a RELEASE?

    Best Wishes,
