Disabling snap points... my dream.
-
Would be nice as a option to select off when tracing an outline around a image.

Dave R... ok, that wasn't what I meant. It's kind of difficult to explain succinctly.
Say you have one line. And then another line right after it in going in the same direction. Physically they can be replaced by a longer line equal to the length of the two shorter lines. Sometimes I make these line breaks in my program. I don't want Sketchup doing inference-snapping on the line segments some of the time.

You can of course remove the break. The weld plugin would do that. Also if two lines are themselves in a straight line, constructing and then erasing a small line at the break, will "heal" the break.

Is there any way anyone can think of to disable those pesky snap points?
You may want to trty the FreeHand tool of ToolsOnSurface.
It includes a polyline draw tool without inference (working on surface or without surface). You may however punctually use inferences if you need to.Fredo

I am watching with interest. Have the same problem tracing stations of a hull. I had great hopes by downloading the splines, but those snap points are still present. Someone has posted the model of the Titanic I wonder how he has overcome this problem. Ship and boat lines are not french curves, there must be a solution, the freehand is not the solution.

Agreed. I'm wondering if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel on it? If not, go get one. Its an absolute must have for working in SketchUp.

Thanks, good workarounds.

I agree with Chis, the scroll wheel is very useful to zoom in/out. However, to work faster and more efficiently, in combination with the scroll wheel, you should buy a Space Navigator/3D mouse by 3D Connexion. http://www.3dconnexion.com/
I use the 3D mouse everyday and would not imagine modeling in Sketchup without it. This is a really good investment if you use Sketchup all t he time and have deadlines.
Best,

Well. guess what some have a scroll mouse. I don't like to make smart comments however have you traced curved lines in 2 mm increments try for yourself even at a large scale the jumping of the lines are very annoying.If I have overlooked anything correct me. I think the comment about the scroll mouse was a valid comment but the person who has asked that question first sounded like he knows what he is doing.

Has anyone found a way to have certain models not affected by inference-snapping?
I'm finding a couple situations where I wish the inference-snapping would ignore a model in the scene. For example, I have a large sub-divided plane and I'm trying to extrude a cube in the foreground, the motion keeps snapping at sub-division way off in the background.
