I’ve got a project that I’m mostly doing myself, but I’m making viewable to a friend by storing all my project files (and syncing them with Trimble Connect Synch) in a Trimble Connect Project which I’ve shared with my friend. I just tried using the viewer within TC myself, and to my consternation i…

When I tried this I ran into a problem with the web app reading the shared model, maybe it will work for you. In the TC viewer you can click on the three dots, and choose to View in SketchUp. That should open the model in the regular web app, and then you can use tags. If you also see an error it …

There are no scenes in TC, there are Views. You would have to create them, for there is no ‘scene-to-view’ conversion. While a SketchUp Model can act as an ‘Projecthost’ on itself (your .skp file), Trimble Connect just considers it as one of the multiple platforms that contribute a ‘datamodel’ to t…

I like this solution! Mostly because it let’s my curmudgeonly friend not have to be coached through installing anything, just coached once or twice on finding the “three dots” - his Chrome (and yes, I do know he uses Chrome) will open up a new SketchUp Free tab/window - he won’t be asked for a logi…

That’s useful to know, but one of the request requirements was to not need to download a desktop viewer. If downloading a viewer was allowed it could then be the SketchUp viewer.

He wrote something about how in the web version you don’t get access to the model hierarchy, but in the desktop version you do. I don’t mind if I misunderstood that part!

Here is the thing: Not all Objects are equal. Plugins luke @medeek generate zillions of Groups, in order not to bloat the component browser and performance issues with components. However, to have a valid GUID in Trimble connect, all objects should be components. These GUIDs are leading in breakin…

My point is that Trimble Connect is not ready for one-on-one conversion of a regular SketchUp Model. Open in SketchUp (which opens up in Free or Shop, depending on type of Plan) will. Unless this is addressed, SketchUp users can or will not take full advantage from TC.

SketchUp users can or will not take full advantage from TC. What about the SketchUp Pro users?
