Hi there, is there no way to view different scenes or views in a public url trimble connect link?
I also notice that when trying to change the projects unit settings, they revert back to normal and do not save what I’ve chosen. I have chosen imperial measurements instead of metric and cannot get the imperial measurements to save in the units settings when on the online web trimble connect app.
Sharing views is restricted to members of the Project.
You can export views in Trimble Connect for Windows, though.

Thanks for the contents, I’ll check it all out! It’s really too bad we can’t see views in a public online link for non members. I think that’s a no brainer, my clients shouldn’t have to become members to look at different views of a model…
You can share the model, though.
Why wouldn’t you give your clients access to (their) project?
You can set rules and restrictions to user groups, so they won’t see stuff that they shouldn’t.
After the project is finished, you could hand over the project when the maintenance lifecycle starts.
Consider it as a service €$£¥…
You have a good idea, but the problem is I have to get them to sign up for a tirmble account to have the permissions I’m asking for, correct? I guess I should look into this a bit more…
EDIT: I am giving them access to their project by sharing with them a public url link, I don’t see why I have to get them to sign up just so they can change views… I think the fewer steps the better, signing up is just another step when all I’m really trying to do is get my clients to view the different scenes of a model without having to signup for an account to do that. Pretty straight forward request that clearly should be implimented. The more you make your clients do, the more of a pain it is for everyone.
Simple sharing and viewing without having to signup is a reasonable request, isn’t it?
Even so, if they are your clients they could benefit from being signed up. They could create their own views and markups in the project and share that with you.
i agree with that: clients should not have to signup to Trimble connect, it should as simple as possible for them.
Exactly. Microrosft even has a good sharing feature where you just type in the email that was allowed access to the file and hit ok and you’re in and viewing it right away. I almost prefer that, but not a full sign up process.
Quote from me in an invited conversation with SketchUp evaluating TC shortly after it came out…
“A Private online method of sharing models that allowed new users to be invited with a single link, without a sign up process, and have simple navigation tools for viewing models. Think google drive for .SKP or a “invite only” setting for the Warehouse (in between public and private). Currently Trimble Connect does not satisfy this need because of the requirement for outside users to make an account. The on-boarding process is too high a hurdle for, and unlike Google Drive or Dropbox or Vimeo or Youtube, there is no way to share content with users who do not have an account. I Post a model, get a url sharing link, email that link, the recipient clicks and is immediately navigating a model with a clean simple viewer like interface… That I would pay for.”
Over 2 year later TC still fails for me as a sharing platform due to this cumbersome onboarding process. I have too many collaborators and teams to manage, hundreds of new people coming and going every year. Too bad, TC is a good offering otherwise.
Maybe, the SketchUp Team wasn’t fully aware of TC-capabilities. Back then, they where not in the same building. Now that they moved in the same, they can easily take the stairs down and ask or inform about the way to share without the hassle (which could be done back then, btw, not sure when it was implemented.
In the webbrowser where your project resides, click on the checkbox of the file you want to share to see the details on the right:
You can adjust some settings, like View only or View & download (as .trimbim format), the date when the link should expire.
You can invite multiple email addresses, they would all directly receive a link in their mailbox, but you can also just fill in your email only.

about the same time when they decided to move to the new location, an old document was found in the Nederland mining museum.

There were some rumours of a SketchUp sage temple, but it was lost some time ago, probably around the time Google took over from @lastsoftware…
Interestingly, though, when you triangulate the three locations, and look in Google maps, you will notice a square flat surface in the Table mesa area:
Awesome News! Happy to be corrected on this… I’ll take another look. Thanks for the heads up @MikeWayzovski 
I remember the Temple Legend coming up a few years ago. I’m a believer.
