        @ weba and bigjonyz :

        I prefer the y-axis inverted too, and I have obtained this modifying the plugin's code:

        • if you have sketchup opened, close it

        • open the sketchup's "Plugins" folder

        • open the file "FPSNav.rb" in the folder "FPSNav" with a text editor (like notepad++)

        • find this line (about at row 343):

        yRotationTransformation = Geom;;Transformation.rotation(@FPSNav_eye, horizontalAxis, radiansToRotate)
        

        and change it like this:

        yRotationTransformation = Geom;;Transformation.rotation(@FPSNav_eye, horizontalAxis, -radiansToRotate)
        

        (the only difference is a minus before "radiansToRotate")

        • save the file and then open sketchup: now the y-axis should be inverted

          Can anyone please explain how (if possible) I can mod the script so

          • I can change the navigation to WASD / Q&E without having to use shift?
          • use SPACEBAR to doubble speed?
          • automatic start WASD navigation just by pressing 'w'?

          Thanks πŸ˜„

                Been waiting this from AtLast, and then Google, and now Trimble...it's been years I wanted to find other options then I discovered Adobe Director.

                It can import Sketchup files and make it interactive including FPS. Files can be published as a standalone executable file for PC or MAC use (haven't tried publishing as an APP for Ipad use but I know it can be done.) For viewing on the Browser, it requires Adobe Shockwave Player plug-in to run.

                FPS
                -navigating using arrow keys
                -with collision
                -open swing and sliding doors
                -add sound
                -many more

                Here's a video on a project I was navigating - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-6HQ8erShM

                And more on my blog if you want to try - http://sketchuptodirector.blogspot.sg/

                    Alan...is there any way to reverse the upward/downward looking of the mouse control?

                    It is backwards from Unity and others

                        Awesome plugin! Only one thing i would polish.
                        There are very noticeable jumps in camera rotation while moving with keys and rotating camera in the same time. Would be very grateful to have this fixed.

                        Thanks!!

                          Hey guys! Registered just to say thanks for this plugin. SU is a PITA to use without it. Also, I forked the project on GitHub and contributed a PR to fix camera jumpiness and improve some things. PR is here:
                          https://github.com/AlanChatham/FPSNav-for-SketchUp/pull/2
                          Fork is here:
                          https://github.com/NathanSweet/FPSNav-for-SketchUp
                          You can download my fork here:
                          https://github.com/NathanSweet/FPSNav-for-SketchUp/archive/master.zip

                          Thanks again for the plugin!

                            Thanks πŸ˜„

                            Adding mesh collisions would be very useful for this plugin πŸ˜„ Like in the native SU Walk tool.

                              Thank you for the plug-in. IS veru good to navigate. The best it would be invert vertical rotation and no click with mouse. I don't kow if it is possible but it would be very good.

                                This is exactly what I was hoping to find, this solves the reverse up/down left mouse click to look around issue I was having!

                                This extension is amazing, it really helps to get a real sense of a space. Thank you so much!

                                  Hey there! Any updates? Also, I checked the GitHub links and noticed there's no RBZ to download.

                                  I'd pay good money for a polished extension that does what this does more smoothly and with more features. I'm sure A LOT of people would too.

                                    There's nothing in the plugin folder with FPSNav.rb??

                                    Help 😞
