Synchronizing scene views between machines
-
Hello everyone, I'd like to ask for a bit of help with camera scenes.
I have set up multiple scenes (both in regular sketchup cameras as well as cameras with Advanced Camera Tools), and when I render on my machine, it looks great. When the file is opened on a colleague's machine, to render other views at the same time, her monitor is higher resolution, so the view is different, as if the camera has been zoomed out.
If I made a "physical" camera (ACT), and camera position / aspect ratio / focal length are fixed, then how could this be different between monitors?
I'd appreciate any advice - I've tried searching around a lot, tried V-ray camera tools extension, which did not help. The app Sizer seems to be the only workaround - is that the case?

Enorith has a PC plugin that allows you to resize the 'actual' SU view port, i.e. not the App frame...
If both your viewports match, then the scenes should match...
i have a mac plugin that does the same, a different way...

Once you set them up, don't change them unless you aren't concerned with the impact in Layout.

The 2D image export in Skup (Win) is always related to your used width-height ratio of your SkUp viewport - yes, this is very annoying. I also have this problem very often when colleagues work with my files.
If you render with any external renderer or any render plugin that all doesn´t matter since you're free to set your desired certain aspect ratio.
For exporting single images within SketchUp Pro (Win) you can use the Animation Export. There you are free to set your aspect ratio, regardless of your current Skup viewport sice.
Within the animation export you choose export "image series" (I don´t know the English naming here) instead of choosing export "animation"... (Unfortunately, this export function does not have the possibility to control antialiasing)I hope this evasion helps...
PS: I do not know how SkUp(Mac) behaves in this matter
