SketchUp Viewer is just another example of where Microsoft's work in Windows Holographic could make a big impact, and it will be interesting to see the ways in which other industries and businesses leverage HoloLens for their benefit.

Since its introduction, we've seen HoloLens used in a variety of new and interesting ways, particularly in business and industry applications. Perhaps most important, we believe experiential review will improve communication and collaboration across project stakeholders who participate in mixed reality experiences. Viewing models in this way will enable designers to better understand the choices and tradeoffs in their projects, which can help shorten the cycle between design iterations.

SketchUp Viewer on HoloLens allows people to inhabit their designs in the most natural way possible – either as a holographic scale model on a tabletop, or through an immersive experience from within a digital building model. And he indeed embraced (despite his curmudgeon tendencies) the idea of being able to get to a different, more capable viewer through a couple of mouse clicks.With this new solution, Trimble is taking 3D modeling as part of the design and construction process further and into what they call experiential review. Remember, I said my friend was technologically literate, but a bit of a curmudgeon. The app enables you to open SketchUp models that are attached to email messages directly from your mail app.

How he can have the same visibility control as I do WITHOUT downloading ANY additional software by using solution of opening the model in web based SketchUp through “three dots” Because your SketchUp models may reside in different places, SketchUp Viewer allows you to access your models from 3D Warehouse, Trimble Connect, and the Files option on your device (third-party cloud storage services).

How little control he will have over viewing them when he access them directly through TC and.

How much control I have over what is visible (using tags) in a model I’m working on locally.

And in about 5 minutes was able to show him: He was at my home for brunch this morning. I’m just trying to get my curmudgeonly friend to be able to view my detailed models without being restricted to the exact layer set that was visible in my last saved version of a few SketchUp models that I want him to look at. I’m not trying to interface with other professionals who may well be using different software. Here is the thing: Not all Objects are equalĪnd your point is? You may be completely correct in what you say, but none of that makes a bit of difference to use case!
