Hi Sketchup Team,
Not sure if I have out this request in the right forum.
But here goes
Now you are showing more and more ways to enhance Sketchup by using plugins that extend the capabilities when working with Sketchup
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to add a feature called Workspace which would allow you to setup different workspaces for by enabling or disabling extensions before you open a new project/Sketchup file.
Much the same as the templates you could have an architect workspace/environment or an mechanical workspaces/environment that actives the preselected extensions
An option to save different workspaces/environments would be great
Allow users to maximise the screen real estate and optimising their workflow by removing unnecessary tool palettes
This could become a new way to work with templates going forward
Agreed. i sometimes switch between modeling and render workflows and only show necessary toolbars/icons as needed while working with them. I’m imagining at min., a series of customizable toolbars that can be toggled on and off via shortcut keys.
I keep asking for this over and over. In particular, using a laptop on my desktop with an external monitor means having dual displays at my desk, and one when I travel. Going back and forth is a ROYAL pain, and it’s particularly bad when I’m late for a meeting and rushing to leave.
Given that SU ALREADY saves window and palette locations when you quit so as to restore them when you relaunch, this isn’t a big ask.
I have wondered what the impact is to a “fully loaded” Sketchup session. As an example if your not rendering a particular model does Vray impact speed by being loaded when you boot up a Sketchup session? I suppose the same is said for Plug ins and Extensions. Is there a speed advantage to a streamlined Sketchup session?
It would be great to be able to switch between Workspace’s knowing you would have only the tools required for the current project/job loaded, maximising the overall screen space, be that a desktop or laptop. Not everyone has access to a second screen all the time.
This would also speed up the overall loading and working experience with Sketchup
This could possibly work along side the templates
The use of plugins has grown over the last few years more so because the Sketchup team are sharing their use of a variety of plugins now.
Does the Sketchup Team have a view on the feature suggestion, I would be very interested to hear their views
