      hello all. I noticed that The instruments view of sketchup are a bit limited (or I can not seem to use them properly). I would like to turn the plan of an apartment at 90 ° to the z-axis maintaining the parallel projection so as to have the long side horizontal and optimize the operation of the export 2d jpg. I tried the option orbit but of course I leave the plan view. I tried nurgeorbit useful but only for perspective views. I say "rotate the object" ... but I can not rotate a building model to orient the view you want for each apartment. some idea or some plug? thanks friends

          In general, the rotation is working without problems. You just have to select the entire model.

            I didn't try it, but it seems to be what you are looking for.

              hello charly2008, as I said, I could rotate each time the model, but it is not productive. so I need to only rotate the view so that you have the relevant section (1 apartment of ....) aligned to import jpg with the best resolution. 😉 Thank you very much anyway. gilles is always the kind to help me and I thank him, I look at her advice and let you know. 😉

                    some more possibilities:

                    • Quick camera rotate 90°
                    • Camera tools ("roll camera" is only one of the helpful tools)
