Now, let’s get in to one of the crazier aspects of this tool – you can actually use SketchUp’s modeling tools within the program! You can draw, move, push/pull, and more to both allow you to create new geometry, and to edit existing geometry in the program. Performance seems to work really well – I took an un-optimized 3D warehouse model and brought it into VRSketch and didn’t have any issues. One thing that I would like to see is some kind of turning system – right now teleportation seems to only occur facing forward, so turning to view different objects can get a bit tricky. You move around in your models using teleportation, which is great for VR users like me that suffer from motion sickness – it’s a very comfortable experience. There are really two different ways you can experience your models – either from what’s called the “Warehouse” view, where you’re standing in a warehouse building looking around your model, or by actually teleporting into your model, allowing you to experience your models at true scale. This will open up the VRSketch window and send your model to your Oculus Rift headset. The way it works is that you install the extension within SketchUp, then open the model you’d like to view and click the button for “Send to VR.” It works for both Oculus Rift, as well as the HTC Vive. You can download the extension from within the SketchUp Extension warehouse, or by visiting VRSketch is actually an extension within SketchUp that allows you to not only navigate into your models, but actually create and edit geometry straight from inside your VR headset!
