Share scenes across models
-
We are using sketchup 2013 and working on a large project with 3 seperate sketchup models and we have a need to bring in the same scenes into each model. In previous versions of sketchup we have used the "page exim" plugin but we are having difficulty getting it to work in 2013...
Is there a new way to shares scenes across models?
thanks in advance,

Thanks for the suggestion, we did try that approach and unless we are not understanding how the plugin works it seems to only share the active scene across models. We have quite a few scenes and 3 models... We did come up with a workable method to do this using the advanced camera tools to set camera positions at each one of our scenes. Then we isolated the camera objects, selected, and then copy/paste them into each file.

The manual way of doing this is much faster if you have already a model with all scenes.
1 - You save 3 copies of the model that has all scenes.
2 - You delete everything in that model
3 - You open copy 1 and import model 1
4 - Do the same for copy 2 and 3 and you now have all models with same scenes.If you haven't got every scene in one model you can copy only the scenes you need from other models into the model with most scenes and save some work, and start from line 1 after that.
Besides Eneroth's plugin, if you install Thomthom's "camera tools", you can also easily copy camera properties from one model to the other.
If you use a plugin to copy camera positions between scenes you can, after that, copy properties between scenes by ticking/unticking the scene properties boxes on SU native scene manager.
I hope this helps.
