Would like to learn if there’s a way to ‘nudge’ selected objects/groups/components in Sk_up Pro in order to accurately position…?
Also, seem to be having trouble placing some objects/components/groups where needed - feel as though the objects are magnetically attracted to some invisible grid or hidden layer – how best to position exactly where needed without having to plug dimension(s) into the measurement box…?
Thanks, CFa341
There isn’t a “nudge” setting in SketchUp but you should be able to move entities into place accurately using the Move tool. The key is to grab the moving entity by a point that you’ll place to correspond to a point at the destination.
If you have Length Snapping enabled in Window>Model Info>Units, you could get that invisible grid feeling. I would recommend turning length snapping off.
– thanks much for tips. craig f

One problem with the use of skps native snappomg feature is when you want to test move an object to a non targeted/ read random location. It doesn’t do the trick.
The Nudge extension was perfect for that and other aspects but it doesn’t seem to show up on skp 2023.
Does anybody know where to find it and how to install it on skp 2023 ?
Nice to dredge up a thread from 2016.
It’s not difficult to move an object to a random location with just the Move tool but you could try JS MoveTool if you feel you must have an extension for that. Best option is to get the Sketchucation Extension Store and use it to install the extension. You could also download it to your computer and install it with Install Extension in the Extension Manager.
Please update and complete your forum profile.
You can try the plugin Gizmo from Curic, it’s not like the nudge plugin but it lets you move object without having automatic snapping or inferences.
SketchPlus also has a nudge tool.
