    Context Menu Option: Open Selection in new SU-Session

    Hi All
    the larger and more complex a model will be, the more I prefer to edit details in a new separate SU-Session.
    This option I would like to have as a right click Context Menu Option.

    just dreaming ๐Ÿ˜‰
    imagine - if there even would be a provy-intelligence between that edited file-detail and the origin selection, that would be fantastic...

        Well, nice many/most people like the new trays. I prefer the old one that was sticky, auto-sizing etc.

        Maybe I could have liked the new trays IF:

        1. you could customize/disable the auto-hide for the docked trays AND/OR
        2. a toggle was an actual toggle: close the rest and open the corresponding tray - and keep it open!
        3. if these options were available in Ruby that would be fine as well. That way, people could code the trays to their needs.

          I already mentioned this, but SketchUp is ideal for VR modeling. Something like this: http://www.dezeen.com/2016/05/25/virtual-reality-designing-architects-vrtisan-unreal-engine-htc-vive/?utm_medium=email%26amp;utm_campaign=Dezeen%20Mail%20307%26amp;utm_content=Dezeen%20Mail%20307+Version+A+CID_c0ee56bd7293591ff8b237110ded3ae4%26amp;utm_source=Dezeen%20Mail%26amp;utm_term=Read%20the%20story%20and%20comments

            I really would like to see full 64bit support so that model can be viewed in SketchUp the same way they can in some external programs like Lumion and LumentRt (among many others). A lot of my models lag (go into wireframe mode) when orbiting. This does not happen in those other programs.

              along with this. . .and I have been asking for something along these lines since version 3>> as one edits a nested component you could "hide rest of model" but still be able to control the visibility of the group in the nest above and be able to do this all the way to the root of the tree, but still hide rest of model. Is this even possible? Plugin???

              That would just make my day.

              If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                One more thing for us mac users, how about a real functional material editor on par with what the windows guys get ? not going to hold my breath.......

                This would be a huge help. For rendering we really need a more sophisticated materials window. Something that can be organized and always shows the names (not with a slooooow hover), sorting Alphanumerical at least (though it seems the SketchUp developers hate alphanumerical). Key + hover on a face and highlight the material in the window (yes I know a bout the eyedropper). Pick a material and highlight the faces that have it. Also the highlight is so dim on the Mac as it is, one has to search for the selected material. Materials are a big deal. Help us out here, folks.

                  Which part isn't 64bit? Anyway that's a long-standing discussion with one side claiming it would do nothing to speed up SketchUp. I would say: since the change to 64 bit there was an improvement, whatever the cause, but nothing of that magnitude.

                      Someone needs to improve 3D warehouse. Add some rating to the models or something. Endless scrolling in search for a good model isn't how I like to spend my day. Also, I would like to see a section on it where we could sell our good stuff.

                            I would love to hide/show components hierarchy above and below. I believe something like a breadcrumb toolbar for visibility was talked about before.

                                Well it's one of those plugins that is crucial when you need it but you don't need it in every project.

                                  Hi,

                                  It would be convenient if you could hit the "esc" key to close a dialog menus rather than needing to click "ok".

                                  Thanks,

                                  John

                                      I would love to not have to deal with trays. I avoid using 2016 altogether because I hate dealing with the wack-a-mole trays. It seems like an a third appendix - why did we need this?! How has it improved the program?! I don't get it at all...I can't get used to using this feature - it's a PITA. I hate the Trays. It should be an added optional feature - not a fundamental change to the program.

                                        i think what we wish for next versions of sketchup stay just wishes and never seen by trimble, it is funny sketchup with many users doesn't have basic modeling tools such as quads,uv mapping, handling more polys, beautiful and organized interface and many other features. lack of these features always make me stronger for using other modeling tools like 3dsmax. i think using sketchup is not a serious tool for high end projects mostly for low amount of poly support and lack of high quaity ready 3d objects.
                                        i wish companies like the foundry buy sketchup from trimble and make it super 3d modeling software but i think this will never happen!
                                        sorry for poor english

                                          Would love for the reloading of models (XREFs) to be faster.

                                          I work with huge models (300-500mb+) that are made up of smaller ones (100mb+) which different people can work on. But reloading those smaller models takes forever. Sometimes it's easier to delete and re-import rather than wait for it to reload.
