Tip: Working with many scenes
-
Just thought I'd share this tip.
I often end up with many scenes for my models. Often it's various sets for various purposes. For instance, a common set is sun and shadow studies where I have many scenes for the various times of day which is of interest.
What I've come to do recently, in order to make the number of scenes more manageable, is:
- Create a new SketchUp file.
- Import the original model as a Component
- Create my scene set
Whenever the original changes I just reload it.
Another benefit is that I can reuse the scene set with another file. I often have to do the same sun study and the projects is within the same city. So I've saved an empty file with just the scenes with the various sun and shadow settings. Whenever I need a new sun study for a new project I just open my sun and shadow template and import the project into it as a component.

Not to mention you can add different styles. I also have a template for a studio lighting setup I use for Vray. This comes in handy since I have been doing a lot of office furniture demos and what to keep the same consistent lighting for all types and configurations. All of these are time savers and just put more money in your pocket if you can get jobs out quicker.

Thanks for the tips.
Moved to tutorials.

I wish there was an option to Tile the scenes, i.e create another row of scenes when screen width is exceeded.

Ditto!
Or even better, manually choose where it should break. -
Perhaps even group the scenes under tabs...
