SketchUcation 3D Viewer (formerly the '[ignore]' thread)

Rich O Brien

no rush for your tests. still a long way to go....

tip: the viewer allows you to swap between orbit[o], pan[m] and zoom[z] while viewing by hitting the relevant key.

Can the initial 'turntable' effect be switched back on after you click the screen to orbit it if 'off'.
Either by key-press or another button ?

Rich O Brien

No, not currently.

You think the reset view button should also return it to turntable if enabled?

disregard email.....

what's opinion Dave?

Dave R

It's pretty slick. I found it easy enough to navigate through the edit options and I can see that it would make showing SketchUp models much more effective.

Is there any way to maintain the colors for the faces and backgrounds as in the preview?

driven

dave is yours a texture or a color?

Rich O Brien

Can you wing me the model?

hTere's lots of things we need to document but I'd love to see where this is causing an issue?

@john

what's your opinion on this thing?

Dave R

It's just the default color for the style.

Check yer mail.

Rich O Brien

Yes, that is the issue.

We have one default color. White.

You'd need to color the raw geometry to get that same result

Dave R

OK. I'll try one with some texture in a little while.

That works for me.

If I hit the player button more than once (and how could I resist) it keeps spinning faster and faster and I can't stop it by clicking the window. Why is the play button pointing left where I always seem them point right. Is that something Irish?

sorry for delayed reply, but you seem to have discovered my point...

I was speculating that it would need to be an 'applied' texture...

That is the "Reset view" button not player. Later tooltips will make it more obvious.

The speeding up on multiply clicks problem will be fixed on Monday.

EDIT on Monday: Fixed.
