If you find an old copy of the installer, you can use checksum information to somewhat verify that the installer hasn’t been tampered with or corrupted. In any case, it’s definitely “operator error” in not remembering that I had made that change “temporarily”.I can’t recommend downloading an installer from a third-party site. Then when the release version of v18 came out and I installed it, those “temporary” shortcuts from the release version of v17 were automatically migrated to v18 and showed up when I started using the non-Beta version.Īt least, I think that’s how it happened.

Then I spent some months where I was doing all my SU on the v18 beta, so of course that was a parallel, vanilla installation and didn’t have those shortcut changes. I finished my experiment, but I forgot to put things back. I had been working on something where I had been trying to do a kind of free-form follow-me, moving a surface with push/pull without a path, and I had “temporarily” changed the two tools I was using alternately, Rotate and Push/pull, to be under F2 and F1. Then, in a classic case of “Where’s my … HERE it is!”, after I stopped wrestling with it, and maybe after asking for help, the answer came to me while lying in bed: Greetings for now, hope it is useful…Jakob. One good idea, is, to “Swap” the “Z” to: “Zoom Extents”…īrings you “out”, If you get: “Lost” In Model'… I even made a “keyboard” in Excel…to “See” where stuff is.(3D memory). My example: “W” is “Wipe” for hide(wipe) rest of model… (toggle)Īnd “Alt + W” is Hide(wipe) similar… (toggle)ġ sorted by Name: (what did I choose for “Top View”)Īnd 1 is sorted by Shortcuts: (what does “F8” do?)īoth have the full path, as extra column: 'Camera/Standard Views /Top' Remember shortcuts in “pictures or memes”… Put as many shortcuts, as possible, near the left side of keyboard

My example: Thumb on “Ctrl” + index on “A” for “Select All”. Let 2 fingers of the left hand do the 2 key-button clicks: My example: “X” for: “X.Ray On / Off”…(a toggle function) Have most used shortcuts, as “One key”-single clicks…like Sketchup do Let the right “mouse”-hand do the creative stuff. Nice to have the same shortcuts, when they demonstrate and you pause and try. I collect shortcuts… from people I follow on You Tube…“Sketchup School” for example. Meme: G for: Group as component… Alt+G is for: Group as group. From Sketchup: “G” is “Make component” ( in right click menu)
