I don’t think this is because the developers don’t understand the nature of the requests, but rather that SketchUp’s inference engine logic is so deeply entangled in the app that changing it would be a massive undertaking. Over 450 Real Portable Apps (49GB) Some with up to 150 locale, beta packages, etc Over 1.1 BILLION Downloads Free, Legal, Safe, and Fully Portable No. With Scale Grid in Trace, you can choose. There have been refinements to SketchUp’s inference system over the years, but never to the extent of suspending specific snap types. Drawing over a grid is the best and easiest way to sketch to scale while keeping your design in order and aligned. Such cases have led to frequent requests for more control over snaps.
That can seem like wasted effort and time, though how much waste depends on how comfortable a user is with maneuvering in 3D and it isn’t clear to me that matters would be a lot better if you could turn off certain snaps. To snap shapes or other objects to grid lines that go through the vertical and horizontal edges of other shapes or objects, click Snap to Shape. Gray highlighting indicating the option is selected turns on. There may be multiple alternatives near the cursor, forcing you to zoom, orbit, or wiggle the cursor around to isolate the one you want. Do one or both of the following: To snap shapes or other objects to the closest intersection of the grid, click Snap to Grid.
click (when inserting points) Place new point at a 45º angle. And, admittedly, there are situations where it is difficult to persuade SketchUp to identify the particular snap you want so that you can lock it. Convert your selected point to a Disconnected type. SketchUp’s snap logic was designed from a different perspective than other modeling apps: instead of providing a suite of snap types that you can turn on and off to control how a 2D screen pick is mapped into 3D model space, SketchUp’s inference engine always looks for all types of snaps and then lets you use the shift and arrow keys to lock to a particular one.įor someone coming from an app that works the other way, it can take a while to become comfortable and fluent with SketchUp’s inference system. Tip: If you want entities to snap to the grid, select Arrange > Grid Snap Off and you toggle on the grid-snapping feature.
