Google SketchUp

Can google sketchUp be used on the Ipad?
I have not purchased an iPAD..yet!
But need to know if it can do CAD etc. first.

While I'm not familiar with mobile CAD options, one interesting approach for a popular mathematical tool in the scientific/engineering world: MATLAB has a mobile application that uses a regular desktop session to do all the computing, and the mobile app is essentially a remote terminal. Clever approach, maybe an option for some other compute-heavy apps that otherwise can't run natively on a mobile device.
There are also VNC type remote control mobile apps, where you can log into your desktop machine and view the screen, which is pretty slow, but handy in a pinch.

  • MAC OS X Leopard and Google SketchUp

    Hello everyone,
    I was wondering if anyone has run into any Google SketchUp issues, once they have installed Leopard? I have noticed that after I installed it that SketchUp is slower then before, and that while I am using the program, I will frequently get the Beach Ball icon when doing a simple task like clicking a grouped object. If anyone else has had this problem or has heard of any fixes, please let me know! Thank you very much!

    Please go to http://groups.google.com/group/Sketchup-Pro/topics and we'll hunt this down for you and post back results (the noise of what's happening probably not that helpful here). Please note computer model (memory, graphics card, etc...), OS version (e.g. 10.5 / 9A581) and we'll test the appropriate configuration. Apple has been VERY good to work with on these issues. The only issues we've posted thus far are at http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=79634

  • 3D Game using Google SketchUp?

    My friend showed me a program called Google SketchUp, and I can make some pretty cool stuff on it. But I want to use my SketchUp models in a Java game... Is this possible to do, because I know that there are other programs but SketchUp seems to be more user friendly so I like it.
    So anyone that has any ideas or knows about this topic already please tell me.
    Thanks,
    - Mimz

    there is no such thing as "supported by java". Java is a programming language, not a game engine. If you want to load a 3D model, you need a specific library to actually do the loading for you in a format that the API you are using to render graphics understands.
    Popular formats for beginning game programmers are 3DS (3D Studio Max) and MD2/MD3 (the model format used by Quake 2 / Quake 3).
    For 3DS you can find numerous sources on the net, including those that work with Java3D for example. Here you can find a popular MD3 viewer written in Java, with source:

  • 3D Modeling & Google Sketchup ??

    I'm working on a project where I'm going to incorporate some shell casings blowing out the side of the assault rifle. Going with PPro & AE CS3, I had planned to go with Blender as my 3d modeller but have just stumbled onto the Google 'SketchUp Pro' 3d modeller. Does any one have any experience on using this google tool and would you recommend it?

    Hello vLNpLYR2010!
    If you are looking at running programs like that on a Mac, you should chose a more powerful Mac like a MacBook or and iMac. Both cost less at their starting price than a MacBook Air.
    Hope this helps!

  • IPad and Google Sketchup

    Hi (I know this is the iPhone section, but there's no iPad forum)
    I would be sold on the iPad if it could run Google Sketchup. It would be a perfect client presentation device/viewer. Does anyone know whether it will be able to run Google Sketchup?
    Much appreciated,
    Dave

    As of today, the iPad will not run Google Sketchup since it is only available for Windows and Mac OS X. Whether Google will develop a version that can run on an iPad only Google will know.
    Regards.

  • Google sketchup work yet

    Google sketchup ever coming to iPad?

    It would be a great deal of work to write an app like that on the iPad, and not all functions could be supported.  I wouldn't hold your breath.

  • Can you use Google SketchUp to create 3D models for Motion

    Can Google's SketchUp Pro be used to create 3D models for use in Motion?
    I'm having problems finding the file types that SketchUp produces and Motion requires.
    Thanks for any help in this.

    Zaxwerks Pro Animator does a pretty good job of creating a 2 3/4D models.   That is it appears to be 3D as you move around the object until you cross the objects plane. Then it looks 2D.   Kinda like moving around particles that are set to 3D.
    ProAnimator would be alright but it's rather difficult to texture and I was just wondering if SketchUp Pro would be importable into Motion.
    Thanks for the responce.

  • Trouble Exporting Google Sketchup Animations from iMovie

    I am having trouble with animations and imovie. I have successfully exported about 5 animations from Sketchup to imovie. Everything works fine until I try to export the imovie video. When I open my exported imovie video in quicktime or any other program, my animations are replaced by other pictures already in the movie. Basically, I am having trouble exporting Sketchup animations from imovie.
    Any suggestions?
    manny

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Unfortunately imovie has issues with animation (shouldn't have but does). Try converting your animations to another editable format (DV, AIC, MJPEG) before importing them into imovie.

  • Trackpad Gestures for Google SketchUp?

    Dear friends,
    I'm using a Macbook Pro and the trackpad with gestures and finding it extremely usefull.
    Not using the mouse anymore as now my hands are always on the keyboard. And I also found my carpal tunnel issues are disappeared since I started using the trackpad gestures.
    So my question is if you know how to setup gestures on the trackpad so I can rotade 3D objects in SketchUp.
    Does anyone know anything about SketchUp and Gestures?
    Is there any program around to create personalize gestures? I thought it would have been poissible with Snow Laopard but it is not.
    Thanks!!!!

    Possible there is noone around that knows something?????? :O

  • Import a Google SketchUp Model

    When trying to do this in Director 11.5 , I inevitably get the "Having trouble reading...[filename] .... 85" dialog". which is less than desireable.
    The model is as simple as I can make it.

    Thank you for your intelligent suggestion. It might as well be a monkey doing what I am trying to do,considering how little  I know about the 3d side of Director. But the manual saith it doth import skp files. I'll give it a try in an earlier version.

  • Google SketchUp8 crashes after start up in wine

    Hello everyone,
    I hope I am in the right part of the forum. First of all I have to apologies for my bad English. English isn't my birth tong that's why i have a lot mistakes in here.  Sorry about that.
    But now to my real problem. I installed Arch linux a few weeks ago and i read a lot of stuff in the wiki. Today i installed wine because i want to use SketchUp. But i can't get it to work. So i googlet and googlet and googlet and some people got there problem solved with changing the registry.  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\GLConfig\Display  HW_OK" = 1 (i changed it from 0 to 1). But that didn't help anything. I still have that problem. If i start SketchUp it shows the welcome screen after that i can choose which template i want. So i choose one and it shows parts of the program and than it crashes. And an error message shows up which says: SketchUp was unable to initialize OpenGL... I tried all the solutions i could find here in the forum and with Google but  i don't get it. Dose someone of you had the same problem and solved it and could help me with it. That would be awesome.
    More information:
    I use a laptop: Lenovo Thinpad R400
    Graphic cart: ATI
    Wine: 1.4.1
    SketchUp8
    WM: awesome
    if you need more information just let me know
    I hope someone had the same issues.
    Greetings Micha

    Hi,
    I've had a look at the WineHQ page for this ( http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … &iId=21290 ) and I would like to ask whether you have tried it on their tested distribution Ubuntu Onieric? I mean, I've found that just because something works for them in WINE doesn't mean that it will work for you in WINE (as I discovered with Microsoft). I mean I found it impossible to install Microsoft Office 2003 on Ubuntu Natty, even though it has a platinum rating.
    I also read that for Google Sketchup that only the ``basic functions'' were tested. This to me says that they only tried to see if it would start up and close, without making it do any work, but I may be wrong. Ask them to see what they actually mean by ``basic functions''.

  • Illustrator error opening eps file exported from sketchup pro 8

    When I attempt to use Illustrator CS6 to open an .eps file exported from Google Sketchup Pro 8 I get the following error message "the file is an unknown format and cannot be opened".    If I try to place/link the file I get this message "can't place the illustration. Could not set a position inside the file."  Any thoughts on why I'm having this issue?  Is there an eps version compatibility issue I should be aware of?
