Mac and Sketchup users… it has been reported elsewhere that OSX Lion and Sketchup dont play well together. I am using Snow Leopard and would really like to upgrade to Lion, but wont if it will cause problems with Sketchup.

Does anyone know of any problems with this combination?

FWIW I have people using my plugins on Lion without any issues (that I know of) so I think it’s fairly safe to go with Lion. they will be coming up with updates for the OS periodically either way. -- ㊍ When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.
