This is great news! I was just looking into Sketch Up and it's not what I'm looking for.
Will WildTools work in 64bit?
I am so ready for this version.

Thank You!

Certainly we will have WildTools moved to 64 bit as well.

Hopefully we won't go 64 bit when all the world will be 128 -and I will be 96 years old. :D

I agree! One other thing that concerns me is that most software is moving to yearly subscriptions. As one approaches retirement, this concerns me because I won't have the need for high powered software, but would like continued access to my old files. I am using a 2008 version of MS Office. I was using a 2019 version of SketchUp, but think it might have just become disabled. I'm using a 1990's version of FrameMac (on an old OS8 iMac). Etc. Etc.

I my be a minority here, but from a business standpoint PC should be subscription based.
I have no problem supporting PC and insuring it's future development.

Think of how little we've spent on PC over the years.

Echoing the hope for a continued perpetual license model. Do not appreciate having work product held hostage in lieu of a yearly tithe. Have historically found replacements for those applications which have gone subscription based. As much as I have gained from being a loyal user and upgrader since the days of PowerDraw, PowerCADD will become another one of those casualties. The fact that we have had as long as we have to find a replacement makes the prospect less painful if no more palatable.

My preference is also for a perpetual licence. As someone not far from retirement who will likely use PC less regularly, the concept of paying a monthly fee I also find less palatable.

I still run that sometimes on an old Titanium PowerBook in OS9. Not so much now though.

Perpetual or subscription could be optional according to customer choice, why not.

Whatever pays the bills to keep PC going. Couldn't care less about a subscription or one time cost.
