This is annoying. I recently got a 3D printer that actually works (as opposed to one that requires endless tinkering) and I've been using SketchUp a lot lately.

Just today I encountered an issue with some bad mesh and I was thinking "you know, I like this product, I might just give them money, at least I'll get a perpetual license out of it".

This makes me reconsider that. I really think JetBrains went the right route here for their subscription/license and I was excited to see Trimble follow in their footsteps, until now.

And also this marketing copy is just a giant slap in the face. Give me the numbers!

In my experience, Sketchup consistently produces poor STL meshes. The only solutions I've found are to import the meshes into Blender and repair them manually, or redesign the project in a different CAD program. (I've settled on Solvespace for my personal use.)
