Hi everyone! Let me know how you're using snaps in SketchUp (and any improvements you'd like to see) in the comments below! :)

With the direction problem, I think they should sync it to the colours of your styles front or back faces, so it's a better indication of orientation

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't know - even that seems a bit difficult to see. I'd really like an arrow or a visual indicator - or a color - something that makes it very easy to tell

[@gsmarcom]

looks like it's easier to use the regular move function

[@xAnAngelOfDeathx]

Probably a dumb question but are snaps in Sketchup free? Thanks for the videos.

[@sketchupbar3762]

Hi, I have a great ai plugin, would you like to try it?

[@kalfadem908]

Nah we good

[@tuckerwebb5336]

Hey Justin, the indication you're missing is that white ring on the snap. The white ring indicates the direction of the snap.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Visually I just have a hard time with that for some reason - I'd LOVE an arrow or something a bit more visually clear :)

[@tuckerwebb5336]

Totally agree! @@Thesketchupessentials

[@human_named_Melissa]

This tool was not ready to be implemented IMO. I agree that it needs a visual indicator...guess work doesn't help with being more efficient.

"You can actually use the flip tool in order to flip the direction that the snap is facing"
I gasped out loud in horror.... better save that model before every flip! I'm still 50/50 on Bug Splats using the flip tool.
