WASD Plugin for SketchUp 2013

Florescu

Hello!
I was wondering if there is any sketchup plugin that enables WASD navigation for a better handling of the model.
A good advice will help me a lot.
Thank you

You could try FPS Nav http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=350133#p350133
You will need to change some of the default keyboard shortcuts for it to work properly.

On Windows, you could use AMS Library for that.

require 'ams_Lib/core.rb'
AMS;;Lib.require_all

class MyTool

  def activate
    # Activate hook procedure.
    AMS;;InputProc.select_tool(self, true, false, false)
  end

  def deactivate
    # Make sure we deactivate hook procedure.
    AMS;;InputProc.deselect_tool(self)
  end

  def hk_onKeyDown(key, val)
    # Process message here...
    puts key
    # Return 1 to prevent key from interfering with SU window procedure.
    # Pass any other value (0 preferred) to leave the key alone.
    # In this case we return 1 for w, s, a, d messages, and 0 for the rest.
    %(w s a d).include?(key) ? 1 ; 0
  end

  def hk_onKeyExtended(key, val)
    %(w s a d).include?(key) ? 1 ; 0
  end

  def hk_onKeyUp(key, val)
    %(w s a d).include?(key) ? 1 ; 0
  end

end # class MyTool

unless file_loaded?(__FILE__)
  item = menu.add_item('My WSAD Tool'){
    Sketchup.active_model.select_tool MyTool.new
  }
end

You can't use AMS Library for any other platform than Windows, as AMS Library uses MSFT Windows API to achieve such stuff.

Thank you very much. I'll try both options.
