      Output options for panoramic and stereoscopic 2D images and animations.

      Obviously we can do this using various render engines, or exporting to something like Unreal. However the option for a quick and dirty SUp pre-viz VR or panoramic would be incredibly useful.

        David, Nige and I were just discussing this issue of stereoscopic 2D images and animations.
        Trying to find a solution (simple) that allows to export a spherical 360° 2D images for viewing with original SketchUp model style from scene camera (to play in comparison to the Thea 360° spherical render)... should be possible. But, as this comes up today, I'm surprised this has not already been added. So, yes... please... add an export 2D image option for being able to produce natively from SketchUP a spherical image that could match (even with resolution) the rendered output.

            I wish the bounding boxes could be blue for groups and red for components.

                    Wondering why Sketchup's "Send to LayOut" is not exporting the drawing's XYZ = 0;0;0 to the middle of the page. It would be much appreciated, especially after using Chris Fulmer's great plugin: Center on Origin.
                    It would be even better when we could choose the XYZ-coordinates to export to the middle of the page in LayOut.

                    I don't know if I explained it properly... in Dutch it would be easier.

                      The sticky nature of LayOut's labels is a source of frustration. Wish we could copy and paste them where the cursor is set (like in SKP) rather than zoom way in to be able to grab it by the neck and hopscotch it over with the Ctrl key. I say 'hopscotch' vs.'drag' since the canvas doesn't scroll when you get near its edge.
                      NOTE - the issue is especially problematic when labels have short leaders.

                        If i set some measurements it would be great if they would be automatically set to a new layer "measurement"

                          Since many Toolbar titles are too long to be displayed in their Titlebar, allow a right-click on the Titlebar to display the full title besides the cursor.

                            I wish for sketchup / layout to have better vector output for construction docs. Skalp is great but the raster infill to walls doesn't print well unless on high output. Something like skalp incorporated into SKP/Layout with vector infill would be a step closer for me to stop paying damn Autodesk subscriptions for revit and autocad.
                            I really like the way visualarq for Rhino produces a 2d flat section or plan representation for vector output that is automatically updated when amended. Something like this would for me anyway be extremely helpful. 😎 😎

                              Give the ability to enter Latitude and Longitude coordinates using the same formats found in Google Earth.

                                It would be nice to be able to save the position of a watermark between scenes.

                                If you place a watermark as positioned on screen you choose where it goes. Sometimes the content of a scene will interfere with the company logo. I then have to re-position it on screen. Saving the position from scene to scene would be great.

                                  I often have multiple SU sessions open at the same time. It's almost impossible to know which "Default Tray" goes with a given instance. Can the file name be added to the Default Tray top bar? Not the whole path, just the file name.

                                    The toolbar that displays iso, left, right, front and back views should have the graphics replaced by the verbiage. Getting tired of mousing over some of these icons to seee what they represent.

                                      I wish Layout was smart enough to know that I invariably want to save a file with the same name as the Skp.

                                        I wish a table in s a SU would show the LO files it is linked in, and you could just click to open them, like you can open the SU file from LO.

                                          1. I wish the layers I've set up in SU (as per the pages visibility setup) would translate verbatim to LO, which then would be able to export those (together with the additional ones created in LO) to DWG/DXF, ending up with a DWG/DXF like we're used to in the construction industry. This would probably mean a better layer manager in LO as well.

                                          2. I wish that LO would import DWG/DXF, without losing any information, so I can do overlays and coordinate.

                                          3. I wish these would happen before I have to renew my maintenance and support, yet again, towards the end of November.

                                          Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                                            Most of my wishes are repeated every year. and i repeat again:

                                            1. MULTIPLE VIEWPORT
                                            • every serious modeler (at least for most 3d platform) use multi-viewport. It is a feature that is essential to most 3d package . Hopefully we get an extra window that can be assigned left, right, top etc.
                                            1. QUADs
                                              I hope there's a quad-mode feature that can be turned on that will prevent triangulation when modifying quad geometries. I hope to really be able to work in quads without any complication.

                                            2. More solid all-in-one UVW, UNWRAPPING & TEXTURE BAKING solution all within SU.
