      Is there a ruby-script out there that allows input from a joystick/gamepad/controller to drive the native walk and look features of SketchUp?

      (SketchyPhysics has this idea, but to use it, the whole system needs to be active. It's an added level of complexity that doesn't need to be thrown in the mix at the moment.)

      Also, what controls the "step height" of the walk feature which determines if you're encountering an incline or a wall?

        SketchUp is lacking in that department... You have to stop walking to "look around". This just breaks any small illusion of actually being there you might be experiencing... If gamepad control isn't doable, it would be really cool to at least be able to walk with the keyboard and look around with the mouse, at the same time.

          I have code to read the joystick I willing to donate. But I don't have the time to write the camera control code right now.
