Help with Templates
-
Hello,
I noticed other programs (Blender, 3Ds Max) have a template that gives you 3 views on 1 screen of the model. For example you can have the top view, side and 3D view.I am wondering if sketchup has this, since is a very nice feature. If not, I might switch to Blender because of its limitless possibilitys.
So does sketchup have this type of view?
-
Nope, SU does not offer that four screen type of display. I've 3ds max a bit and I can't get by without the 4-view. In SketchUp, its just not necessary because it is so much easier to model and navigate without needing the simultaneous views.

Many of the other 3D modelling applications have these 3 ortho views because that's the only way to precisely move things in certain directions for instance (you'd mostly use the 4th, 3D view as a preview window only).
In SU, like Chris says, there's no need for them. What you can do however is to set up 3 additional scenes with these views and switch between the scenes - yet you won't be able to see all at the same time.

Ok thank you. I am just used to it in other programs, and kinda wanted it here. But that is true, it is easyer to navigate in SU.
But I have another question. If my model is big, sometimes certain textures and objects will dissapear as I am orbiting. Is there a way to stop this. I feel that this might be because of my computer not being top of the line
-
That is built in to SketchUp to help speed up orbiting on large models. redrawing the textures and linework on large models gets very taxing on a system, so it drops that stuff out when it needs to.

Also, this is why often, when doing the"modelling" (building) part of the work, with l;arger models it's better to turn textures off completely. If you are in monochrome model, at least you can see what's front and what's back face. This (and a couple of other tricks like turning off shadows or "hide the rest of the model" while working on a detailed component) can speed up work even with a slower computer.
