I think the minions did pretty well with just a sketch.
The minions ‘did good’. And let’s bring back “No Fuss” & No Muss.
That would be fun to do.
No, this is a play called “curtains” which is mostly just the open stage with a few roll on pieces.
The Chairs and The Ladders, not to be confused with The Doors. 
It’s “Our Town” and as a set designer, when the narrator in the play says ‘there’s no scenery here other than chairs’ I check out mentally and move on to the next project …
After a school of old wooden ladders swims across the stage, of course.
like the annotation tool ? I use it in SU pro, I thought it came from the ipad version
The idea being to be able to sketch onto a plane or object in the model as opposed to making a screen based watermark for a given scene?
I could imagine something not unlike “Make Scaled Drawing” in Layout where you could have a “Make Raster Sketch” tool that would create an object that would be the equivalent of an imported PNG.
Perhaps:
- Pick the tool
- Draw a rectangle (works the same as the rectangle tool)
- Rest of model greys out and you have raster drawing/painting tools to work inside that rectangle
- Finish and exit and it’s a just like any other imported PNG image that was painted in another app
The Apple Pencil is perfect for that. I use a tablet on desktop, so I’d love it there too.
oh, I see, the Pro plugin does both. you can either make some sort of 2d watermark or doodle on the 3d faces. SketchUp Extension Warehouse
Interesting. Close, but still useful. It could use some instruction info. It would be nice if it could be a SketchUp object that you can assign to a tag, etc.
I do not ever use the watermark/markup tools. It completely interrupts my workflow to duck out into new tools and find scenes, when I can make my notes right on the model that stay there as I’m working. The functionality of writing right in the model is worth having to put up with the inconvenience of the freehand tool trying to make all of my closed letters into faces.
I know I’m a unique user, not doing what the program was necessarily intended for, but I am a part of a massive use case (theater design) where there is so much missed potential when it comes to SketchUp for iPad.
I also am a Theatre Designer, and while I model primarily in SUPRO so I can send to Layout, I also use the iPad for all sorts of things in the field. In the theatre I often use the markup tool, creating scenes with overlayed notes. But it’s clunky, it can get difficult to manage what notes are where when the scenes get numerous, and I have had some unfortunate instances where the overlay fails to show on the screen after the file is reopened and the notes are lost. Switching to the markup tool is a little cumbersome and does interrupt the flow. It would be interesting to have a true raster pencil option similar to “texture edit” in pro where one could select a given surface, invoke a raster pencil tool and “draw” directly on the surface with the pencil creating a new texture as an .skm that would be applied to that surface.
Or just streamline the markup process so it’s simpler to create edit and save the on screen written notes.
I would go as far as to say that markup in its current state adds nothing to the program.
I just want to be able to treat the entire model as a whiteboard…
Or maybe a whiteboard feature where I can drop a whiteboard into the model that can be written on without changing tools.
As-ish built drawings of my theater… specifically my vaudeville era flyloft. The building was first constructed in 1880something, and then renovated in 1901, and again in 1926. The poor thing could never have as built draftings that are correct. Just in the back hallway alone, she starts at 99 inches from floor to ceiling and not more than 60 feet down the hallway, she’s 92 inches tall on the left and 96 inches tall on the right.
I’m heading into three major renovations, and trying to make sure that we remain sympathetic to the history and still move forward into more usable/sustainable territory.
The door component clearly needs to glue to “Any” face, not just vertical.
