      Creating a complex model using just "one finger" (i.e. the mouse pointer) is very complex, does anybody of you use "advanced methods" to manipulate objects in sketchup? 3d mouses or similar devices? Multitouch screens? (does it exist SU for Android?)
      Also, using 2d viewing to inspect a 3d object is very difficult, does Sketchup support support any 3d mode? Anaglyph or others?

        Some folks like to use a Wacom tablet and some like the fancy mice with lots of buttons. I've tried running SketchUp on my Cintiq and with several different fancy mice. The fancy mice are in their boxes and the Cintiq is reserved for other things like photoshopping drawings. I like my inexpensive 3-button mice for drawing in SketchUp. When it comes down to it, the tools in the program are all just single point sorts of things. You draw an edge or click on something. For my money the CMB coupled with Shift work just fine for navigating around the model.
