[Plugin] Scene Tweaker
-
This is a little Ruby plugin that simply allows you to quickly tweak the position and orientation of Scene Cameras. When generating animations, SketchUp Scenes are a great way to capture your path through your model but sometimes you don't quite get the Scenes setup right. Scene Tweaker comes to the rescue!
Unzip the 2 files and put them in your plugins folder and restart SketchUp.
You can start the tool from the Tools menu or the toolbar and it will show all the positions and orientations of your Scene Cameras.
Shift+MouseClick allows you to dolly the Scene camera
Cmd+MouseClick allows you to look through the camera and change its orientation (ie where its pointing).

Interesting.
FYI for PC users: Cmd = Alt
-
thomthom isn't "command on a PC "ctrl"?
-
Yes ... but when I tried it the plugin did not respond. I had to use Alt...

Just when I get used to something.....

fakeware! doesn't work!

@maxosmedia
It is 16 years old !
So SketchUp's Ruby API might have changed, and thereby made it flaky...
It would be helpful if you ran it with the Ruby Console open and reported any error messages - a bald statement like 'fakeware!' is no helpful...
Please explain the issue - it might be recoverable... -
I fixed its code to suit newer versions of SketchUp - it's in the PluginStore.
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=scenetweak as v1.0, also signed [but not as an Extension per se] -
SU2023 the same tragic Show!

@maxosmedia
That's not helpful.
How is it tragic ?
What happens, or what doesn't happen, etc ?
Did you zoom out to see the frustums etc ?
If you really have an issue and we can help explain it clearly so we understand... -
"Did you zoom out to see the frustums etc ?" - SU crash! immediately after press icon(button "scene tweak! Do you know how to read? Letters, words, sentences? deep freeze! Force quit sketchup!
-
Do you know how to read?
He's helping. You're not by being rude

@maxosmedia
Despite your rudeness, I'll continue...
As I'm not sitting with you and I can indeed read, I have no idea that 'tragic' [in your language] meant that it froze/crashed.
Reopen SketchUp. Open the Ruby Console and try it again.
Is anything shown in the Console as it freezes/crashes ?
Is the freeze/crash creating a Bugsplat message ?
Have you read the info on it ?
Could you give us the error report parts ?
Have you submitted the Bugsplat to SketchUp with contact details and an explanation [in concise English] ?You'll never get any help with a problem unless you give the would-be helper some clues.
Other info that might help...
SketchUp Version [2023?]
How many Scenes does the model have ?
How big is the model ?
Are you working in the model or in a context edit ?
Does it occur on every model - e.g. even a simple one with say just 2 scene tabs ?
Are scenes named sensibly and show on top-tab row ?
What's your use intention of this too ?l - it is quite niche and somewhat old/limited - and much about Scenes can be achieved by using the native tools...
etc
There's lots you can tell us that might not seem too important to you, but it might be to us.
