Nudge orbit
-
Is there a plugin that lets you orbit around the scene in increments (say 5 degrees) as opposed to SketchUps 'dynamic' orbiting? This could easily be done in Blender (Numpad2 = nudge orbit up; Numpad8 = nudge orbit down; Numpad4 = nudge orbit left; Numpad6 = nudge orbit right). Wouldn't this be handy when orbiting poly-heavy models? If I am not mistaken it is also a way of navigation inside Piranesi's Vedute studio.

this is how it should look like.

any feedback would be appreciated

Orbit on Target ?
Might be a starting point ?? -
Thanks for the reply, TIG.
In Blender it seems to orbit around the origin. I was just playing around with Blender when I wondered if this is possible in SketchUp too. I can't seem to find a ruby for it that's why I asked here.

Can I recap the type of tool you want...
First you set a view looking at something.
You run the tool 'nudgeOrbit' and it each 'nudge' it moves your view point 15 degrees clockwise around the origin, or perhaps the camera's 'target', or perhaps the center of the bounds of anything that was selected ? How do you want the 'target' got ??
It keeps the same camera eye-level but moves the camera around this target-point...
