Hello Everyone,
I love all things Sketchup and have a mind that is continually searching for ways I can be more efficient and improve my workflow. Starting years ago, I started setting up my shortcuts to my keyboard. Placing my most frequently used tools convenient to my left hand, allowing my right to freely use the mouse. Some shortcuts were given their letters based on the convenience of memory, i.e. E = Eraser, R= Rectangle, A= Arch and so on. As I refined what works best for me, I also added a Logitech G13 gaming keyboard and a Logitech G602 Mouse to my workflow. The G13 (Which I heard is now discontinued) I picked up when I saw it on sale for $75 on Amazon. My mind immediately went to thinking of all the options that it provided me being totally programmable. Not just with shortcuts or assigning keys, but being able to do things like record a series of keystrokes and more. The G602 seemed like the no brainer counter part to add to the mix, it also provides 6 programmable buttons on the side and 2 programmable on the top, apart from the normal left, right and scroll features. You can also smooth out the mouses performance and DPI in Logitechs software which programs both the keyboard and mouse. I am very interested in hearing how other avid Sketch up users have their shortcuts and equipment set up to their workflow. I look forward to sharing and learning from everyone.
