Had a quick look on the forum but didnt see anything current - but looking to view a model in VR on PC. Whats generally the best method? ie hardware and and software/extensions… Any advice much much appreciated. Thanks!

You could try an HP Headset or Oculus Quest 2 as lower cost options. I believe the Quest 2 works wirelessly which you might find nice. In the higher cost range, the Meta Quest Pro is pretty nice (this is what I use now). I haven’t tried the HoloLens 2, but I have a HoloLens 1. The (HL2) could be an…

So download Sketchup Viewer, and should work on any headset?

And many thanks @3DxJFD for the in-depth reply. Much appreciated.

My pleasure, @barry1 . There are several ‘SU Viewers’. I’ll just paste snippets of what’s accessible from my account to give an overview. In general, some Viewers run on your computer and some run on the device. [Screenshot 2023-07-22 195158] [Screenshot 2023-07-22 195226] [Screenshot 2023-07-22…

I can’t test right now, but can the View VR feature of 3D Warehouse open in a headset? 3D Warehouse AR View: See your models in a whole new dimension (sketchup.com) Maybe Arkio or VR Sketch can open .skp? Otherwise, yo…

Hi everyone, It is great to see how quickly our community comes up with answers and support fellow members so thank you @3DxJFD and @maxB for providing these great tips and insights to @barry1 ’s questions. As they both correctly pointed out SketchUp Viewer is available for the following devices/pl…

so a client of mine (or anyone logging into 3d warehouse ) with an Quest 2 cannot view my Sketchup models in VR (not AR)… as they don’t have a licensed SU pro subscription and neither can I as I only have a permanent (not) lic since 2003…?

Hi @gsharp , Well, here is a happy coincidence; I could not talk about this earlier but this just went public so this might work for you and your customer.
