  • RE: Questions about selling a commercial SketchUp extension with SCFLicense

    HI,

    Thank you for being interested in our licensing system.

    1. Can a new commercial extension submitted to SketchUcation use the SCFLicense system?

    Yes

    1. Is SCFLicense available to approved creators, or only to selected/internal developers?

    You have to be approved as a developer and your application (extension) have to implement a few lines of code to use the licensing. For the technical details you can contact me by private chat or write to support@sketchucation.com.

    1. Can the extension be distributed as a proprietary/commercial Ruby extension, without being open-source?

    Yes, being open-source is not a requirement for the licensing.

    1. Does SCFLicense support a free trial period, for example 15 or 30 days?

    At the current sate of the licensing, you have to implement the trial period in your extension. As an alternative, you can create free trial license with limited validity.

    1. Is it possible to offer a temporary license or subscription-like license, for example annual access or a license valid for a specific number of days?

    There is an option to limit the license validity for a specific number of days.

    1. Is it possible to manage paid major upgrades, for example users buying version 1.x and later paying for version 2.x?

    With the current licensing system it takes purchasing a new license for the new version. For a discounted upgrade license the author needs to implement the upgrade logic (e.g: if original license is validated and discounted upgrade license is validated, then let the extension work)

    1. Are plugin updates and hotfixes distributed through SketchUcation ExtensionStore / SketchUcation Tools?

    You can publish the fixed or new versions at SketchUcation Extension Store.

    1. Can the same extension also be sold outside SketchUcation, for example on the developer’s own website?

    Yes, if you direct the buyer to the SketchUcation license purchase page. There are other alternatives used by some extension resellers, for those you need to contact support@sketchucation.com to arrange a custom agreement. It worth to note that either the end-user of the license or the distributor has to be a registered SketchUcation.com member.

    1. If external sales are allowed, can SCFLicense also be used for licenses sold outside SketchUcation, or only for purchases made through the SketchUcation store?

    For being able to sell outside of SketchUcation, using our licensing, you need to make a custom arrangement with us. Contact support@sketchucation.com.

    1. For creator payouts, is a VAT number / business tax ID required, or can individual creators apply as well?

    2. Regarding VAT/sales tax for customers, does SketchUcation act as the merchant/seller of record, or is the creator responsible for handling taxes and invoicing?

    With questions about financial details please contact support@sketchucation.com.

    Did you install FFmpeg?

  • RE: Mixed Periods

    I love that clock.

  • RE: Medeek Wall Plugin

    Impressive results. Huge timesaver too for users.

  • RE: MOVEMENT THROUGH MACHINE

    Did you click New Movement?

    It will refactor the GUI to a dedicated Movement panel.

    The order of operation would be pick your transformation choice then select the object to apply that transformation to.

    You don't pre-select objects. Pick type then object to apply type.

  • RE: Many projects

    Great result. Clients must be delighted

  • RE: MOVEMENT THROUGH MACHINE

    You need to use the Clip Editor (first icon on toolbar) to use the GUI to add a Movement

    I need a path in the middle and two rails (special profile) left and right, to follow the path.

    With Curviloft the profiles can be offset from the path...

    Profile offset from Path using CurviLoft

    That does mean you need to do each side as a separate operation.

    Or with ProfileBuilder 3 (or above) you could make an Assembly with a mix of Profiles and objects like bolts to do it in one sweep.

    TIG's Extrusion Tools would do it too similar to CurviLofts approach.
