I use SketchUp a lot and have been using SU 7 PRO for just over 3 weeks now. I really like the whole dynamic components thing, especially the way you can have custom component options. I.E. I created a car that was fully customisable. Choose your own tires and everything! Hood color, window tint, spoiler. Three cheers to the SU Development Team!!! Hip Hip Horay!!!

It doesn’t work in Wine out of the box yet, you have to jump through a hoop or two. Then it works pretty good, at least on Nvidia. See http://wiki.winehq.org/GoogleSketchup
for tips and the current list of known problems.

Would be nice perhaps if it could actually be used to compile a (3D) GUI and have the dynamic stuff do the user interaction for that GUI.

I probably won’t end up using it, but this is a cool new function of a very easy-to-learn program. I use sketchup a lot to design electronics cases and furniture
