      Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for.

      Hi Tim,
      The Fly through works yes, thank you for that 😄 it’s not exactly the same. The mouse still needs to be clicked but it will give me some help.
      Thanks for the fast response.

        I’m looking for a plugin for Sketchup that will let me use the mouse scroll and keyboard arrows at the same time.

        i don't know about a plugin,but i use a 3d mouse in addition to a normal mouse, one in each end

        the 3d mouse is only to move the camera, and the normal mouse is to modify the model

        it is much quicker than switching with one mouse between the camera type tools and the editing type tools

            I guess the 3D mouse could be an option... if the plugin can´t be found or written.
            But I believe a plugin will be possible. "Fly Through" plugin is nearly there. I'll keep on searching.

            Many thanks.

              actually, you don't need a 3d mouse

              it works with 2 normal mouses, one in each hand: you can zoom and move simultaneously

                Using the 2 mouses works and its useful in modeling objects. But I'm looking for a different approach. Simpler. And with the keyboard moving on all sides and the "look around" tool at the same time.

                    Since this is about Camera control, it sparked a remembrance of an earlier concept presented by "bentlykfrog"/ Niall Campbell: Floating Camera. The plugin is available in the PluginStore. Again, it may not be exactly what you are looking for.

                    I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                      Much like " Fly through" The "FPS Nav" also have the same problem: you need to click the mouse in order for it to work. and in the "FPS Nav" you have to use the scroll in the mouse... all very complicated, three or four things at the same time doesn't leave much space to like what you are doing.

                        The "Floating Camera" as it's good things, but it's just me or it's almost impossible to control it?

                        My dream:
                        Keyboard keys left right front and backwards and the "look around" key at the same time. BUT without the need to click the mouse. just moving the mouse you can change the view direction. Activating the plugin automatic would change the mouse to this proprieties.

                        The "Fly Through" plugin is almost there.

                          So, until then, I would also suggest to look at the 3dconnexion products. I think you would appreciate the "joy-puck".
