I’m usually engaged on ground plans, the place prime parallel view must be fixed. Utilizing SU for iPad it isn’t attainable to deal with prime view whereas modifying ground plans. Is there a trick to lock orbit?
There isn’t any technique to lock orbit as SketchUp is a 3d modelling software program. Additionally it’s best apply to mannequin in perspective and go away parallel for output views. You must have the ability to choose prime view however i’m not accustomed to the interface of SketchUp for iPad…
You would then make a scene to have the ability to return to your prime view with ease…

Thx @tweenulzeven for the reply. As I used to be anticipating; although, would respect seeing this characteristic applied by SU builders. To work on 2D ground plans on desktop is okay, however on iPad it’s form of disturbing fixed orbiting on any slight pencil contact. Simply wished to see if there are extra neighborhood customers seeing this as a difficulty; and if this generally is a characteristic applied sooner or later (i.e. disable orbit, or some form of 2D working mode).

I’m positive some expierenced SketchUp for iPad customers will reply that query for you!

Make a scene with the flat view. Then whereas engaged on it solely use zoom and pan.
Like ceaselessly! It’s such a easy, however oh so important characteristic I’m nonetheless amazed it’s not a part of native SU Professional, not to mention the iPad model. SU diehards will predictably leap in with “there’s no want for it, it’s worthwhile to bear in mind to blah blah to remain in that orientation”…however sure there’s a want for it. On the fly (utilizing zoom wheel click on to pan) you don’t wish to have to consider that, as you don’t must in Rhino, AutoCAD, Revit and so on. Nobody can say it will be to the detriment of the SU (native and/or iPad) to have this tremendous primary, easy performance baked-in for use if/when required, or ignored by diehards. I’m positive it’d be simple to implement to, so why it’s by no means been added (this omission being a motive loads have been postpone by SU) is totally past me. It’s a completely open aim, however Trimble and their two left ft…though I’m impressed by the iPad model. Not good, wants refinement and bit extra performance and customisability, however it’s a great begin.
NB: utilizing zoom wheel click on to pan is the way in which 95% of digital varieties pan round a drawing, be it 2D or 3D. Remembering so as to add Shift to pan, while you’re usually leaping between apps it completely counterintuitive. That is the rationale why this easy performance must be baked-in with no negativs. The silicone valley fudge right here of doubtless offering the flexibility to swap center button click on performance would assist (see most different 3D software program), however could be a fudge, and never resolve the difficulty.
Easy simple resolution, extra completely satisfied individuals, nobody loses, bonus.
Sonder incoming…
Use a shortcut key to Pan and use the scroll wheel solely to zoom in and out, don’t contact the scroll wheel button.
