Wish list for Sketchup 2018

pipingguy

Wish for SKP to permit user to place cursor on row of scene tabs and force them to scroll left or right in unison with mouse wheel sideway's toggle. Applicable mostly with numerous tabs stretching beyond workspace screen, of course.

pipingguy

Wish for LO to paste clipboard contents wherever the cursor is, like SKP does, instead of shadowing the original object.

pipingguy

Wish for dimension extension line gap at anchor points (offset from origin)to be adjustable.

pipingguy

Wish that the floating trays in SKP and LO can remain in their positions on the canvas as the window is dragged from screen to screen when you have multiple monitors.

pipingguy

Wish that 3d text had the option to be created unglued. even if it lasts for only a session.

Until then... choose the placed 3dText and use the right-click context-menu 'Unglue'.
Or place it in 'open space', where it will be unglued and 'flat'...

pipingguy

I never realized 3d text becomes automatically unglued when placed in open space

pipingguy

Wish that vertical z axis inference color could be cyan as the current blue can be construed as the black inference color.

pipingguy

Wish that the right-pointing scene tab scroll button wouldn't be partially off the screen. Better yet, wish we could scroll the tabs left and right with sideways toggling of mouse wheel when cursor is hovering anywhere on the row of scene tabs, like I've mentioned twice before.

In File, Geo-Location, Add location:

back to Google Earth, please!
possibility to import point clouds such as *.LAS-files and others here
As an alternative to import large *.LAS - files: plugin that converts *.LAS-file to *.KMZ that can be imported in Sketchup.

Materials "In model":

possibility to organise the materials in folders in a personal library (floors, walls, interior,...)
possibility to cut and paste materials in folders

Wish SKP Pro would allow 3 computers, vs. 2, per license. One is a PC at the office, second is a laptop for jobsite visits and third is a PC at home.

pipingguy

I wish the LO workspace could scroll as you drag objects past the edge.

Output options for panoramic and stereoscopic 2D images and animations.

Obviously we can do this using various render engines, or exporting to something like Unreal. However the option for a quick and dirty SUp pre-viz VR or panoramic would be incredibly useful.

David, Nige and I were just discussing this issue of stereoscopic 2D images and animations.
Trying to find a solution (simple) that allows to export a spherical 360° 2D images for viewing with original SketchUp model style from scene camera (to play in comparison to the Thea 360° spherical render)... should be possible. But, as this comes up today, I'm surprised this has not already been added. So, yes... please... add an export 2D image option for being able to produce natively from SketchUP a spherical image that could match (even with resolution) the rendered output.
