ScreenHunter is much simpler! You save so much time by not having to browse through a file system to find the folder where you saved the image.īut if you wanted to attach the image to an email instead of paste it, you can do that too. OK, I may have exaggerated a little bit, but add up all the time you spend clicking and it piles up. Open email client, paste image (right click, paste – 2 clicks).Drag a box around the area you want an image of (Image is added to your clipboard) (1st click).Press F6 (a set of crosshairs appear) (1st keypress).Open email client, select attach, navigate to folder to attach image file (WAY too many clicks!).Browse your file system to find a folder to put it in (multiple clicks!).I want you to think of the number of mouse clicks involved to export an image. Here’s a comparison of creating an image using Sketchup vs. Let’s say I wanted to email an image of my model to someone. But ScreenHunter has some advanced features that make it much faster and easier to create an image of your model. Sketchup’s built in exporter allows you to save the current view of your model in a variety of image formats. Why not use the built in exporter in Sketchup? 🙁 Click below to for a direct download link. Sketchup has a built in 2D export utility, but there is a better way! I like to use ScreenHunter, by Wisdom Software ( ScreenHunter info from Wisdom Software ). It eliminates people from looking at other parts of your model that weren’t drawn to scale, or were intentionally inaccurate to save time.It gives you the control to deliver a specific perspective view of your model.Posting to forums and social sites like Facebook is easy.Viewing an image of a model on a mobile device is easier, and uses less bandwidth.You can share your model with people who don’t have Sketchup, or don’t know how to use it.
