SU Pro vs Free

[Aaron Beaver]

For those of you that have the Pro version, what are the biggest benifits of it over the free? I wont buy until I have used the free version a while, just looking ahead to what might be useful in the Pro version.

Thanks

I do not own the the Pro version, but the license for SU Free is for personal use only... So you are not supposed to create presentations for clients. Also it has more export options and I think the pro allows you to make AVI and Quick Time movies. Seems the major difference is how it allows you to interact with other applications. I am sure the people that already own the pro version will know exactly the difference.

Based on what I read on the SketchUp! site, what Michael talks about is true...export capability is the major difference. I own the pro version...the "free" version was not available when I bought nearly two years ago. I probably would have considered the free version, however, based on my own needs.
