Using HTC ViVe with Sketchup 2016.
Enscape 2.0.2.495
I’m finding that when trying to “walk” using the thumb controller, Enscape is not recognizing stairs in the model in VR mode.
When you try to climb or descend a stair you end up walking through it at the same floor elevation.
There does not seem to be a problem in “non-VR” mode.
Thanks,

Uncontrolled movement in VR can easily lead to nausea, and forcing you up or down quickly when you’re body is still standing still seems like a recipe for puking. Perhaps there’s a smooth way to do it though.
That’s understood.
My question is does Enscape not allow one to walk up stairs in VR mode?
Thanks
I think the only way to walk up stairs in VR mode is to use the teleport function.
With the VIVE you will be able to walk through walls and would have to teleport upstairs and the setup is more complex.
This is caused by the more complex positioning system, but therefor you will have roomscale movement.
The Oculus will recognize walls and stairs and is easy to setup (Works with only one sensor ->no roomscale) and you could perform a more complex setup with 3 sensors for getting roomscale movement.
I know that this has been asked before and the thread marked as resolved with no clear answer but how / when will this be available.
Its a real probelm for us in terms of presenting to clients who are not willing to use the Vive in Flythrough mode due to the confusion if can cause navigating the model.
@Chris_4 You’re able to walk through your model with the HTC VIVE. But you will be able to walk through walls and won’t be able to walk stairs, as I mentioned above.
If you don’t like the controls of the HTC Vive you should be able to use a XBOX-Controller as well: https://enscape3d.com/knowledgebase/using-virtual-reality-headset/
But you’re walking…without falling and blocking from walls…but walking 
It’s on our agenda and got your upvotes.
