I just upgraded to sketchup2017pro and as soon as I flipped it on the spacebar command is no longer working. I am not aware on how to fix this. I am using windows 7 pro. Anyone else having this issue??
That’s odd. Try this:
Window > Preferences > Shortcuts
Type in “Tools/Select” in the filter and add the shortcut.
I’ve occasionally had this happen to me. Try clicking with the mouse on the Select tool icon in the toolbar, then try Space bar again.
for whatever reason i had to go into preferences>shortcuts and remove the already preset spacebar from the shortcut option and re add it… weird.
As you say, weird. But glad you have it fixed now. It is the default shortcut
@LeoBoss I tried to reproduce the issue with a fresh install of SU 2017 Pro on my MacBook Pro, but wasn’t able to. One thing I did see, however, is a slight lag for cursor updates when the Orbit, Pan, and Zoom tools were active (i.e. I had to move the mouse for the cursor to update).
I just had this happen to me – the spacebar would no longer activate the selection tool – and in my case it was because I had activated “Full Keyboard Access” within the Mac OS System Settings.
As soon as I turned that setting off the spacebar once again functioned normally in SketchUp (Web version, using Chrome 124.0.6367.156 on Mac OS 14.4.1 with a M3 MacAir)
Yeah, full keyboard access intercepts the space bar.
