Today SketchUp version 7.1 was released to the public. For pro users of version 7.0, this would be a free upgrade. There are some new capabilities in 7.1 along with a new render engine which should help a bit when dealing with large and complex models. For those SU7 Pro users, there's also a new version of LayOut. Probably the biggest addition to LayOut 2.1 is the ability to dimension your drawings there instead of doing it in SketchUp. At the very least, it's worth taking a look. Check it out here.
