![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In any case, it’s definitely “operator error” in not remembering that I had made that change “temporarily”. Then when the release version of v18 came out and I installed it, those “temporary” shortcuts from the release version of v17 were automatically migrated to v18 and showed up when I started using the non-Beta version.Īt least, I think that’s how it happened. On a PC, click Start > Programs > Sketchup 2016 > Sketchup, or click on the. Then I spent some months where I was doing all my SU on the v18 beta, so of course that was a parallel, vanilla installation and didn’t have those shortcut changes. I finished my experiment, but I forgot to put things back. I had been working on something where I had been trying to do a kind of free-form follow-me, moving a surface with push/pull without a path, and I had “temporarily” changed the two tools I was using alternately, Rotate and Push/pull, to be under F2 and F1. Then, in a classic case of “Where’s my … HERE it is!”, after I stopped wrestling with it, and maybe after asking for help, the answer came to me while lying in bed: Greetings for now, hope it is useful…Jakob. One good idea, is, to “Swap” the “Z” to: “Zoom Extents”…īrings you “out”, If you get: “Lost” In Model"… I even made a “keyboard” in Excel…to “See” where stuff is.(3D memory). My example: “W” is “Wipe” for hide(wipe) rest of model… (toggle)Īnd “Alt + W” is Hide(wipe) similar… (toggle)ġ sorted by Name: (what did I choose for “Top View”)Īnd 1 is sorted by Shortcuts: (what does “F8” do?)īoth have the full path, as extra column: “Camera/Standard Views /Top” Remember shortcuts in “pictures or memes”… Using the middle mouse button you can orbit, zoom and pan all around your model while still having a tool active. The Sketchup workspace is usually more fluid that many of the other options. But it sounds like you are coming from a software that uses views in a different way to Sketchup. Put as many shortcuts, as possible, near the left side of keyboard The shortcuts are fairly restricted in the web version. My example: Thumb on “Ctrl” + index on “A” for “Select All”. Let 2 fingers of the left hand do the 2 key-button clicks: My example: “X” for: “X.Ray On / Off”…(a toggle function) Have most used shortcuts, as “One key”-single clicks…like Sketchup do Let the right “mouse”-hand do the creative stuff. Nice to have the same shortcuts, when they demonstrate and you pause and try. I collect shortcuts… from people I follow on You Tube…“Sketchup School” for example. Meme: G for: Group as component… Alt+G is for: Group as group. Thank you in advance for your prompt response and the solution. Cannot remove them neither by using ‘-’ box nor Rest All button. They seem to cause a conflict with other piece of software. But at least now I have a better work around.From Sketchup: “G” is “Make component” ( in right click menu) Greetings, I have added some CTRL+SHIFT+ keyboard shortcuts (SU 2017) via Preferences-Shortcuts box. I still would like to customize using keys, because this requires a lot of back and forth, and also requires that I go back in and turn on normal scrolling afterwards. That provides a lot of control, and then I just switch back to the orbit tool (O) for rotating and shifting side to side. What I do is first uncheck the scrolling checkbox mentioned above – to avoid inadvertently zooming, and instead only zoom by use of the zoom tool (Z). Surprisingly, it does not involve using the keyboard to scroll (ie, I do not enable Mouse Keys), but rather using the Z and O shortcuts to switch between the zoom and orbit tools. That led me to my current method which seems to provide maximum control when zooming/panning, and rotating and shifting side to side. In this regard, your suggestion to change Scrolling speed should have been very important, but for some reason I did not notice any difference whether when adjusting the “Scrolling speed” all the way to slow or all the way to fast (see diagram).īut I did notice that when I unchecked the “Scrolling” checkbox in that same dialog that scrolling via accidentally swiping the magic mouse surface stopped altogether. After considering all the responses and trying all the suggestions, I’ve come to the conclusion that the real problem is not with mouse control of rotating or shifting side-to-side, but only zooming/panning. ![]()
