@Last Software Announces Sneak Peek of SketchUp 4.0

AIA Expo 2004

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 9, 2004--@Last Software announced today that it will be presenting a sneak preview of SketchUp(TM) 4.0 in their booth at the AIA National Convention and Expo, June 10-12 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Members and attendees of The American Institute of Architects 2004 National Convention will be the first to experience the new power features of SketchUp 4.0, the tenth release from @Last Software.

New features of SketchUp 4.0 will be previewed on Thursday evening, June 10th, in an official "Sneak Peek" Party at the Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown-Lakefront. And demonstrated at @Last's Booth #940 on Friday and Saturday.

SketchUp 4.0 will be released in July 2004 and includes the following new fun and powerful tools:

Use Follow Me to push or pull a surface along a path, quickly create stair railings, crown moldings & tubing.

Texture Tweaker allows any texture or photo to be stretched and manipulated across any continuous surface. Place a photo of a building onto a 3D square created in SketchUp and model directly from the picture!

Using Face me, 2D models of people and landscaping elements will always face the camera and appear to be 3D without bulking up your models!

The Intersector(TM) provides all the power of Boolean modeling without the overhead and is capable of performing multiple changes in rapid succession.

With SketchUp's New Ruby Scripting Interface users can automate almost any task. Stair tool anyone?

About SketchUp

SketchUp is "3D for the rest of us" with a unique user interface, which allows quick and easy 3D model creation, viewing, modification and presentation. Unlike 2D software, the SketchUp user is always working in 3D and can orbit around the model at any time with just a mouse click. SketchUp's simple tool set and intuitive nature gives the user the look, feel, and freedom of drawing on paper. This patented edge modeling system is sophisticated enough for professional design projects yet easy enough to be used by everyone from engineers to elementary students. SketchUp for Windows(R) and Macintosh(R) OS X is available in 11 languages. $495, or $95 as an upgrade. A free trial version and more information is available at www.sketchup.com.

大概意思是：
简单翻译一下，水平有限，不当之处望大家指出。

SketchUp 4.0 将会在 2004 年 7 月正式发布，主要增加了如下功能：

[B]1.沿路径放样，（呵呵，这个功能大家已经在用了，不过感觉功能上有点缺陷，不象max那样好用，相信4.0应该有所加强吧。）

2.材质延伸，在连续表面赋予相同材质或贴图时，转折处自动过度，形成连续的贴图。（很先进哦，尤其在使用图片贴图的时候非常有用）。

3.面向视点，使场景中的2D人物和树木自动面向相机视点，使之具有3D组件的效果。（姑计和现在标注时的文字面向视点的功能类似，不知道在动态画面里会是什么效果，以及自动转动时阴影如何处理。呵呵，到时候就知道了：）

4.布尔运算，不用多说了。（呵呵，大家期待已久了吧，不过由于sketchup和max的核心运算模式不同，不知道会不会向max一样好用）

5.采用了新的界面模式，使操作更加简单。[/B]

真的很期待布尔运算，现在作两个弧面交界的物体要先对弧线分段，在一个一个的封面删除，累死了，虽然现在３．１的隐藏菜单里面有布尔运算，但很不方便，希望正式发布的布尔功能要好一点

好消息，值得期待～～～

不知对系统资源的占用有没有改善？

su对系统要求不高啊，楼上得

如果文件上1m就比较顿了。

太好啦。。等的我头发都白了，前两天做个曲面开洞，累个半死阿。。。

曲面开洞不如在ｍａｘ里面开好然后传到ｓｕ里面方便
