Drag and drop?
-
Hi
I use Connecter from Design Connected to browse my library, and I'm quite sure that I normally could drag and drop assets directly into Sketchup, but now it seems not to be possible any more - or I might be wrong - it was never possible?
Has any of you any experience using drag and drop?
I've updated to SU 2020, and I think it might worked in SU 2019....
Thanks

On a PC you can drag-n-drop things [like images] from another app, e.g. directly into a SketchUp window provided that the apps share the same security clearances.
If you have inadvertently given an app like SketchUp elevated permissions [perhaps to overcome an incorrect installation?] that it might no longer allow dropped items from/into apps with a different permission level.
Typically these would include Windows-Explorer, but it could extend to many other apps.
Any clue there ? -
Thanks TIG
That was the issue - I started Connecter as administrator, and now it works

Thanks

Connector is a 3DS Max plugin. I believe it is now also compatible with Blender & Cinema4D, but not Sketchup. -
I edited my post with 'bad info'. Glad you posted this...I had no idea connector worked with SU. Going to go give it a try now! cheers
