Enable "interact" sketchup tool within Enscape

The "interact" tool is a native sketchup tool. Per the sketchup tooltip it is used to "trigger the interaction behavior of a dynamic component". This is frequently implemented within sketchup in the form of doors that can open and close, drawers that can slide in and out, etc.


Ideally, this tool would be available within the enscape rendering window and within enscape VR, allowing preset dynamic component interactions created in sketchup to be activated without leaving the enscape render window or VR environment.

    We understand that interactive elements can be beneficial in client presentations. If you are struggling to pass doors during design, you can always easily switch to fly mode with your space bar to pass through geometry.
    To improve your presentations with animations of moving objects, we recommend trying out Chaos' new archviz tool Envision that is currently available as Beta.

    This would solve the issue of openable doors which is a must in any interactive walkthrough.

Opening Doors in VR

Goal is to use the VR experience to make decisions about design features (materials,lights,etc). Being able to open doors and windows to experience their swinging direction would be a part of that.
