SketchUp 2014 Wishlist

It would be nice if Sketchup had views like other 3d modeling programs that can be tiled and enlarged when required + would be nice if it was possible to dock the floating windows with materials, components etc.
And of course the camera could work better when zooming in to detail while working on large model.
both things would be very useful for me!
PS: I don't have 3dsmax

I've got TIG's brilliant Section Cut Face plug but there are times when exporting a slice in .SKP format would be a quicker solution for some graphic work. It should be simple enough to implement as the options are already there for DWG & DXF, why not .SKP?

In 2014 sketchup I want is see an animated gif as a texture, so essentially it will be a aanimated movie texture. just like we apply normal textures.
This would give much more action to skectup
Hmm. I can remember an older post, that there is a plugin, that makes it possible.

I'd be happy if they fixed this bug that they have known for the longest time on Mac maybe windows too when you press the space bar (shortcut for select) it opens model info window very annoying.

Hi Walt, I don't see that on my Mac. It sounds like it might be a plugin you have or something that does that? Though, I'm not even sure if a plugin could make that happen.
Are any other Mac users seeing this?

@ Chris thanks for the reply From this it seems they know about it with a work around

that's not a workaround. you have your system prefs set up weird (well, not necessarily 'weird'.. just something other than the default OSX behavior.. and I've yet to find an app which benefits from the behavior but there must be some reason for that functionality)

I guess I don't understand what your saying my system prefs? I haven't changed from OSX standard pref and I didn't mention this but it's not a all the time thing only occasionally that the space bar opens model info most often when paint bucket is used, also SU pref shortcut key for Tools/select is spacebar.

hey walt.. the preferences is :
System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcutsat the bottom, you'll see 'full keyboard access'.. the default is to use the tab key for 'text boxes and lists only'
you may have inadvertently pressed control-f7 which changes the behavior to allow the tab key to cycle through icons etc.. when it's set this way, the geo-location icon at the bottom left of the sketchup window is highlighted then the spacebar activates it.

Thanks Jeff it was on all controls I'll change it should work now

My top two:
SU - Real arcs/circles.
Layout - Entity creation tools that retain their layer setting.

More Cloud capability, like Plugins in 2013.
User can store component, material, style, template (SU/LO), scrapbooks, on the cloud.. without having to leave SketchUp. When user use SketchUp elsewhere on another machine, they just sign in with their google account, and they will get all their cloud stuff on all interface. "Cloud button" could be add on Component browser, material properties, style window, etc... that will list all their cloud stuff.
Cloud Component could be linked to 3dwarehouse stuff.
SU team should think their own sign in system, such as SUID (Sketch Up ID) to handle all of this, and to identify whether they are Make or Pro user (SU team can control their cloud feature from this identification). Because google is not part of SketchUp anymore, and this will be huge on the future.
On Pro feature, this SUID can be used as collaboration. Pro user can start Collaboration project, setting security (open public or private), invite other SUID, and they can coordinate each other through chat system inside SketchUp while working through cloud. SU only need to update geometry, material, layer, and user can monitor every progress through log screen (such as "SUID just added layer named ....", "SUID just created component named .... ", etc).
I believe with this kind of development, SketchUp users will be increasing significantly, especially on country which has fast internet connection.
Thank you.

To handle all my components on different places, I'm using dropbox. It works perfect.
-
- Undo (or at least cancel) Match Photo modifications.
-
Undo scene changes/creations (especially to make plugin actions fully undoable).
-
my wish would be layout version of autocad sheets sets hopefully better solution of that sort
-
Basic constraints in order to build moving parts and jointed assemblies.
-
- Allow Welcome box to be hidden at start up.
- Unlock Solid Tools for SketchUp Make.
- Unlock Dynamic Components for SketchUp Make.
-
Some easy native way to check commutative volume of nested component with solid parts in it.
