@samuel_t bump 🙂

I edited my post with 'bad info'. Glad you posted this...I had no idea connector worked with SU. Going to go give it a try now! cheers

Hi Box

Yes I can use two finger zoom, but then again, I have to move the hand away from the keyboard... and I actually think the touch ring works better for me, than the two finger zoom.

I think I'm just asking for something that isn't possible... 😄

Jorgensen

Excellent! Thanks for letting us know.

It’s worth watching this video related to the Eneroth technique

Thanks, Jorgensen!

oh it seems that one can't change a component attributes when multiple selected 😕

I assume you are referring to the SketchUp model in a viewport. You can set the model to not be scaled when you change the size of the viewport and then drag the edges of the viewport which will effectively be the same as panning. The best thing to do is change the camera position in SketchUp, update the scene and update the reference.

It is possible to double click in the viewport and pan the model but it generally is a bad idea to do so. It disconnects the viewport from the scene in SketchUp.

Thanks folks!.

Yes you can. I've been doing it for years and it works exceptionally well. Matt Donley and I co-authored a book on my process. You can see it here http://www.sketchupbook.com

the difference between my examples (hide.skp) and your model (save.skp) is the parent is a component in mine whereas yours is a group. It appears groups can't pass down a value, but rather they need to reference the parent.

@Wo3Dan

oh my - that really was a simple, but stupid mistake.
thanks for clearing it out for me.

has anyone used oculus rift 'inside' sketchup while designing?

i've seen a lot of topics 'export to unity', but is it possible to use oculus rift while using sketchup? maybe vorpx could do the job?

I have used it with some creative packages but not sketchup. I was lucky enough to try out 9-10 vendors at a work event before the crowds came in.

Here is me in full motion (you walk around the room in real time) with Oculus and body tracking. Apparently you cant tether the headset over too far a distance so the whole setup needs to be on your back. TBH the weight really helps when you are walking around. Weird to see your hands and feet!

Here is the article on the people who had that particular booth: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-10/19/visualise-vr-wired-2015

There are several plugins that could help you. fredo's bezier spline and thomthom's bezier surface spring to mind, and will give you the functions you need in this instance.
Unfortunately, Sketchup does not have any native support for curves, so there won't be a way to bring in the models and keep 100% of the editability they had in revit.

Hi Philip

My fault - I thought that components where more 'smart' than it seems (to me).

I think I'll still have to do some manual work.

Thanks

Well, Sketchup seems to think that you have two different IP addresses. Do you have peer blocker or something similar running? perhaps some firewall?

Works like a charm now 😄

Thanks !

Bo, make sure the face you are selecting is oriented correctly. 1001bit windows fail if the face is reversed.
