#ARTISAN SKETCHUP LICENSE UPDATE#

You are one of the top 10 largest 3D Modeling softwares and you’ve NEVER added a subdivide tool! We all pay for SubD or Artisan. I was already getting tired of paying for extensions to do the absolute basics of 3D modeling, such as UV’s, Array objects, and subdivide. Then you go asking for more money when you’ve only just supplied a U.I. You guys are updating/adding things that nobody is asking for because you know other developers will make it or have made it already. The reason other softwares can get away with this is because they make everything in the program themselves and people will pay that company to keep enhancing the tools and U.I. If this wasn’t the case and the SketchUp team developed all of the tools and you could just download the software and have all the tools you would ever need right there already installed, then yes I can understand you moving to a subscription based license. Which is fine, this is how SketchUp grew to be where it is. You’ve built your whole software around relying on other developers to make the extensions and tools for you for free. Without the community SketchUp would be nothing. You haven’t provided any new tools that make a difference to my workflow that is worth upgrading, the community has, which I’m really grateful for. The reason I still use 2017 for my freelance is because I’ve had no reason to upgrade. File problems when trying to open newer files.

Extensions no longer working in 2020 because developers don’t always have time to update their extension. I’m working in SketchUp everyday and can tell you that I only notice two differences between version 20. I use both Sketchup Pro 2017 for my freelancing and SketchUp Pro 2020 subscription license for my full time job. But I feel SketchUp moving to only subscription base is a terrible move. Normally I don’t voice my opinions on this type of stuff.
