Stand-alone viewer

pross67

Hello,

Is there a stand-alone viewer to just walk and look around SketchUp files? Something that would just have the "Walk" and "Look" functions. For example, to walk around the interior of a gallery.

I tihnk there was a specific 'SU viewer'but to the best of my knowledge it got discontinued, i could be wrong though. anyone?

That's what Diego has just linked to.
It was useful for giving to clients, if you didn't want them messing with your model, but since the introduction of the free Google SketchUp, that safeguard has been removed....so now it's a little redundant. It is less of a download, though.

Thanks. The Viewer actually works pretty well for my purposes. Wish the "Look" and "Walk" features were visible buttons, though.

Can you not customize the toolbars like you can in SU? (View menu > Toolbars > ...)
I'm not at my own computer now (where I have installed the viewer) so I'm just guessing.

You can't customize the Viewer to show the Look and Walk buttons. Too bad. I'm back to having people use the SketchUp App to look at models. Not a great solution because not everyone wants to have the ability to edit a model. Using the Walk and Look tools to navigate an interior is a wonderful experience. There should be an online viewer that does just that. All the other tools are confusing and distracting to someone who just wants to walk around a space.

Well, I'm back home and discovered that I have the Wakl and Look around tools in my SU Viewer. They are part of the camera toolbar (View menu > Toolbars). See attached file.
