How can I print with this new version?
Hi @dominique.kalmes. The Share button that is located in the top toolbar of the Scenes panel offers the option to do all sorts of things (including print) with an image of whatever your SketchUp model looks like on-screen at a given moment (minus all of the app UI).
Simple questions:
why does the viewer not open downloaded sketchup files
How do i open sketchup files in the viewer - not the already listed, no: some files stored on the ipad via download.
Bugs as usual…
In the Files app, long-touch on a model, and Download if it isn’t already local. If it is downloaded already, choose Share, and share it to SketchUp. It will then open in the SketchUp Viewer app.
Or, if it already was local you can tap on the file and it will open in SketchUp Viewer.
Nope - nothing happens… i can press or double tap the file for hours…
Hi @tengel07, the behavior you’re describing definitely sounds strange. I might need to see a screenshot of the Files app, showing the files you’re trying to open, in order to look for clues about what might be going wrong. Feel free to send me a DM if you’re not comfortable posting a screenshot in this thread.
Hi Mike,
Issues solved…
Maybe caused during the upgrade of the viewer.
I did a complete uninstall of the sketchup viewer and install again.
Now it works.
Really strange…
Thanks and regards

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you’re back up and running!
Thx, using the BRAVE Browser that is based on the chromium browser…

Not sure what you mean by “… no”. If you are using Brave as the default browser, you can keep doing that. But, make sure that Chrome is still installed and working on your device. It’s the presence of Chrome that is needed, and not the presence of a browser that uses Chromium.
Sorry Colin … just a typo… thx noted
Good news. Shared! Thanks for the update
Hi, great update!
I’m still trying to get accustomed with the newest version, and i wonder if anyone could help me with few things.
I’m having a trouble saving new model i downloaded from 3dwarehouse on the newest version of SketchUp Viewer, is there any way i could save it on my library (home)?
And also, is there any search button so i could search my model by name on the library? Cause i can’t find any 
Thank you very much!
Hi @Stayhealthy I’ve got a little section stubbed out in this thread about downloading/opening files from 3D Warehouse.
We’ve received a ton of really great feedback over the past few days and realize that there’s some room for improvement with respect to making it easier to view models from various sources and keep them in the Recent Models list.
Do you have any tips for materials with opacity in AR? They are opaque on iPad.
Interesting mixed bag update.
However, I can no longer open files directly from the app and files opened from Files folder won’t be saved on iOS device.
Also, I would really like to get rid of all those floating buttons which, particularly on smaller devices take a lot of space on the screen and they are… well, ugly. Please nest them away somewhere in a neat way to only access when needed. The use of those buttons is very cumbersome, counterintuitive and hard to get used to. How do you get rid of accidentally created guides?
Shadows are difficult to set up - there should be a slider somewhere to easily adjust the Shadows live by taking full advantage of powerful iOS devices. Currently they are slow to render on even latest gen iPads. Not impressed for such basic rendering.
It is a small step forward in terms of features and two steps back in terms of interface and usability
@bloodsource The transparent material, is it an actual material, or is it an image that was imported as an image object? Image objects that haven’t yet been exploded (and converted into geometry/materials) do not render properly in AR. If the material is actually a material, applied to geometry in the model and you’re not seeing the transparency, then you might have found a bug. If that’s the case, and you’re able to share the model (via DM or whatever works), we’ll take a look and see if we can figure out what’s up.
@sabv Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about this latest update to the Viewer app.
We’ve heard from a few users who liked having the option to make the app UI disappear and who have asked for us to reintroduce that capability, especially for the phone version. We’re looking into it.
I’m curious to learn more about how you’re accidentally creating guides (that shouldn’t be possible).
Also curious to learn more about any ideas you have for more easily adjusting shadows – or was the comment more simply to do with being annoyed by the lag?
It’s a material. I can share the model in DM. I can’t seem to be able to DM you though, so you might have to message me first.
You can do a simple test. On your Mac make a box painted with one of the glass materials, AirDrop it to your iPhone, and view in AR. Materials are opaque. Or try my one.
