Sketchup Online
-
Hello to all the sketchup Guru's out there. I have to confess i am not a sketchup master but rather someone who needs help from the masters.
I have a rather difficult dilemma and so i shall explain what it is and wait for you all to throw things at me.
We use sketchup to build models and then export them to 3D models. Works perfect. The customer then gets his 3D model of what his garden/house looks like etc. However over the last year people have been pushing us to become more interactive. They want to have the ability to look at their models online instead and be able to interact with them. No this is where i'm stuck, and was wondering if some genius out there has cracked this. How would i create a online interactive sketchup platform for my customers to use?
Any and all comments would be appreciated. We are totally out of our depth here and need some guidance. I look forward to hearing from the community.
Thank you

Have you tried Hypercosm...??

hi kim
I have, Abe said he hasn't built a release yet to do what i'm looking for. But it is in the pipeline. Thank you for the suggestion though.

hi modelhead. Ideally they need to access a components file and be able to move the actual components around. In effect making the little changes that they want to on the model themselves.

right i've found something interesting. This is a very complicated system, but it looks like it just may work. What do you guys think?

Something Java based (maybe that's what modelhead means) is what I found a while ago but then didn't really have the interest to fully test is WireFusion:
