Sketchup Free (online version) does not support 3D Spacemouse

Hey folks, I built a chrome extension to scratch my own itch.

It’s not perfect because SketchUp for Web exposes no API for camera or scene manipulation. I can only get 5 DOF scene manipulation by simulating mouse and keyboard events.

  • Move (3D)
  • Yaw
  • Pitch

The back/forward move is implemented by Zoom so it’s bit janky once you get close to a surface. But I guess that is an issue with mouse users too.

Anyway, please give it a try and I’m happy hear your feedback!
