#Sketchup 17 edit camera properties plus

While you are drawing in the first place, until you change tools, you can specify exact dimensions in the Measurements box, as many times as you need, until you commit by changing tool.ДЇor most people, most of the time, this plus the inferencing system, is a lot easier than modifying the coordinates themselves directly.Д¬reating Dynamic components is indeed a Pro only feature, but very far from вЂediting the coordinates directlyвЂ™. In SU, you modify components graphically through the UI, with tools such as Move, Rotate, Copy, or by opening a component for editing, and moving its elements - edges or faces, or changing arc or circle radii, or the number of segments used to represent them. Basically, objects coordinates should be directly available/modifiable to any user in real timeДepends what you mean by вЂdirectly modifiableвЂ™.
