    The world is 3D, why do you want to divide it into several 2D views?

      Wouldn't it be nice if section cuts did not affect shadows as an option? That objects cut and made invisible by the section still cast shadows. Often the current result gives strange effects for sections in elevation drawings.

        a small one...

        sometimes it happens that sketchup pops up a info like "offset limited xx blabla" in a small rectangular box.. this box hinders snapping from working and sometimes its cumbersome to get around this ...

        maybe this info could be dropped to bottom of screen or move away from the mouse cursor or something like that - or best, its transparent and does not stop snapping from working 😄

          I've used sketchup for many years and im still waiting for a way to organize materials.
          the company that i work for usually does big buildings, and the number of materials within a scene can get rather large.
          It really does become an issue also when you take models from another user that has zero consideration for the amount of materials used.
          If we could simply group materials by stone, finish, building, etc it would make it sooooo much easier to navigate through them.

          PLEAAASEEEEE, add this feature!
          or if anyone knows of a plugin let me know

            take a look at this tutorial

            did it help?

              juju that helps into organizing a library.

              maikoo wants to organize materials within a model.

              Organizing Materials, Scenes, Components and Layers, all by creating groups and subgroups and in the case of scenes, by also grouping and subgrouping tabs, would be a bless.

              Currently we just have Layer's Panel plugin, from Jiminy, that does this to layers. It's a bless but destroyed Jiminy's sanity so he has got free from it.

                On previous versions SketchUp didn't force itself to go in front of other open programs. I mean, if I open a large file, it keeps popping up in front of my PDF viewer for example, or in front of another skp file, or whatever I use. It can be really annoying if you want to open 300 mb file, and it takes 10 minutes. You can't do anything else during that time basically. I just want it to load in the back and not force itself while I'm doing other stuff.

                  I would like you to add "open_active" to the SketchUp Ruby API.
