      He can only have a set of premade movies but doing an interactive, off the cuff flythrough without a lot of experience / skill would be near fatal !

        No, I said "Because Sketchup will be run through another presentation software package, the user will not have access to menu or mouse click."

        We aren't trying to disable anything. Just add scene functionality.

          The advantage of an html based solution is that pages of text, photos etc etc can also be inserted and accessed from hot-keys too...
          He needs a multimedia solution, not a bodged SKP navigation fix up...

            Anyway. Big thanks to everyone. Problem solved. Based on all the answers the Boss found another solution and told his bosses that things are just what they are. As you said Thom, it took him a matter of minutes. LOL.

              You can't run a SKP through another app.
              You are limited to the contents of the SKP in the presentation, IF you use the SKP.
              Your boss better be very familiar with the project and the SKP setup, etc if he's doing this on the fly... embarrassing to bump into walls and accidentally select something etc as you present!
              I think a multimedia solution made from images/movies exported from SKPs, plus text and photos etc would appear more professional, and hot-keys can easily navigate around the html document as my simple example shows...

                TIG it's no trouble. I see what you are getting at and I am crippled by the fact that I can't show you what we are actually doing so that you understand. I don't think assigning hotkeys in SU is a bodged fix up in this scenario.

                Yes we are running SU through other software. That is exactly what we are doing. I am now cleared to tell you that what we are doing is channeling SU in an immersive multi-wall, multi-monitor 3D environment. So SU's functionality is there, we just can't see the UI.

                  But if you are 'running Sketchup' it must be running on a PC [even if you can't see it] and thereby you can have access to it through that.
                  As far as I know you can't run a SKP inside another application.
                  If your presentation is mutli-screen etc then it's still Sketchup at the base level πŸ˜•

                    He never said he was running SU inside another application - that was your words.

                    Which I read as an application that controls SU - something that hides the UI elements and ensure that only the viewport is visible.

                      And my impression is that they already have this software package - they just needed the keyboard shortcut controller for the scenes...

                        You are correct TIG. The person at the master computer isn't the person with the problem. It's the person or person's standing in the environment or 2 states away that have no UI but they still need to operate the scenes from within the environment. They have a mini keyboard. We just want to hotkey the scenes so they can manipulate them with that keyboard.

                          This is correct.
