AXYZ for SketchUp is Here!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about AXYZ in the comments below! :)

[@JM-nw2pb]

it´s pretty powerful, I was really missing it coming from blender

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Well here it is! :)

[@JoshuaPuppe]

This looks great! I love Blender and have used it professionally for years, but sketchup is the go-to for most of the teams I work with in-house, so I often times have to play ball and model in SU as well. Oh what I would give for the keyboard shortcut based navigation and modelling, in sketchup! click, g, z, 15, tab, 1, lasso verts, set 3d cursor trans, r, 45, enter, e, 25. I miss it every time

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Lol - I've used enough Blender to know exactly what that means, but I'm not sure how I like it in a CAD workflow like this.

[@manumaco757]

I’ve been waiting for this for a long time😊

[@amazinggardendesign3191]

Wow. I have started using this. It is brilliant. Why doesn’t Trimble create functionality as good as this as part of the core product?

[@johnjlopez]

Is there anything that will allow a rotate by 45' or 90' with a keyboard click instead of manually dragging the rotation circle? That would be a timesaver...

[@kevinlim347]

This will be so helpful for me to create a bunch of custom flower deco!!!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Interesting - is there something this tool offers that will work well for that application?

[@kevinlim347]

@Thesketchupessentials I work as high-end resi & hotel interior designer. And I often need to create custom bouquet or centrepiece out of various bunchs of flowers (like florist) With this plugin, I can rotate each with its local axis so easily. Simply put, editing (scale & rotate) each blossom with stem will be very easy

[@MlleVB]

why it wont show in extension tab / plugin tools after i installed it

[@florinapostoiu]

Because it is made by Fredo (based on the idea of Rich Obrien), and thus its location is in the tools tab, under Fredo s extensions, but as with every Fredo extension, you can move it wherever you want from its preferences.

I must be missing something. This does absolutely nothing you can't do easily anyway.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Lots of other 3D programs have a 3D widget like this, so if you're used to that, or if you need to easily lock to the blue or red plane or whatever

[@jeffk6686]

On large models it takes an excruciatingly long time to activate the tool. Sounds good on paper, though...

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Interesting - I tested it on a 31 MB model and there was a little pause if I tried to move the whole model, but nothing like what you're describing. How big is a "large model"?

[@jeffk6686]

180 mb. That's what I'm currently working on.

[@ahmedelattar8259]

How to move up and down in the Z direction?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Drag the blue arrow

[@royroy6714]

look like D5 Model

[@Thesketchupessentials]

It is similar to the gadget in D5 for sure
