      I like the idea... but the interface is kinda reversed on everything... from SU... meaning... the mouse scrolls in reverse and rotates in reverse... it's kinda like drving your car backwards... hard to do for very long

      but kool to have 3D without having to open SU

        For a client (or anyone without SU routines) it's all the same actually, where and how we orbit in SU. The point is that you don't need SU - and many times it is an advantage if you don't want to give away your model.

          I got it to work - but I don't see the point.

          If you are going to download all the active-X etc you might as well download the sketchup viewer.

            The point is you don't need to send/give your model to whoever wants to see it. Information secure to a fair extent.

              Surely Hypercosm has more capabilities - and when on the web, its player works with more browsers - yet eDrawing has one advantage; it can run on a standalone app. (though true that only in Windows...)

              Well, anyway. Just another tool.

                Bill, that's sad. The company's page declares that with the exe file you don't need to download anything else - the viewer is "included" (indeed, the file itselfis rather big this way).

                Hm... need to further examine the plugin...

                hello I'm a new user for sketchup please help me to be an pro step by step

                  Ayoub, welcome to the forums!

                  Surely everyone here will help you (but why are you asking this here, in a hidden plugin folder?)

                    There is a "free" version with limited capabilities (limited to the viewing and sharing options)

                    you can say that twice. edrawings does not open a small to medium sized file. i had it and recently threw it away for its utter uselessness.

                      Well, Edson, I haven't even used it since this post - I just thought we should give it a shot.

                        being more specific, since i do not use nor own autocad, edrawings seemed to be the ticket to viewing dwg files before importing them but every time i have tried to open a medium sized file with it, it crashed on me.

                        it could be just the mac version, though.

                          Edson, what are you using to open DWG's? I, too, have had limited success with edrawings, though not as bad as you are experiencing, but I haven't found a better solution.

                          Cheers, Chuck
