And last of all if you want to create the look of your own hand-drawn sketches for presentations of your SketchUp models there is no better way to do that than Style Builder and it only comes with the Pro version of SketchUp. Third, the new Solids feature is a huge productivity booster by giving you access to superfast Boolean operations. Second, LayOut only comes with the Pro version and it has a ton of power for everything from drafting to presentations to page layout, all directly utilizing your SketchUp models, scenes and styles natively. Well there are a few very good reasons, first you can only create Dynamic Components in the Pro version and Dynamic Components are an incredibly powerful feature that will take your productivity to a new level when you master them. So, why go Pro? After all SketchUp is free and the Pro Version cost about 500.00. Any changes between the two I will cover in the first few chapters of the series to get you caught up quickly. Before we begin I should tell you that I've already done a training series for the free version of SketchUp 7, and since almost all of that series is still valid for Version 8 I'm not going to cover any of the basic functionality of SketchUp again. My name is Jason Maranto and I will be your guide for this training. Hello and welcome to Google SketchUp Pro Version 8.
