How do you make plug-ins for sketchup
-
Seems that are made with a "Ruby" language
-
Not that i know anything about this, but you also use the sketchup API which kind of lets you access the abilities of SU trough ruby, as far as i can tell.
-
Is there a software to make them?
-
Any Ruby Editor, I presume
Or any Text Editor like PSpad
You will find here all about making plugin for Sketchup!
-
Is it hard making them?
-
It's just Oriented Object programming
As all language, you must learn it : it's not difficult and also not very very easy, just a question of time learning curve
More you are young, more it's easy -
If you want to take a deep look at a plugin, just go to your Plugins folder, right-click one and choose to open it using Notepad.
You can even write Rubies using Notepad, but it would be better to use a text editor that is rather more sophisticated and can automatically help with the coding. Something like Notepad++ -

Depends on your know-how on programming and your abstraction ability. And of course it depends on Sketchup

@ Didier
Il n'est jamais top tard pour bien faire. Je veux bien la recette pour apprendre à faire des plugins pour SU en ruby.@+

now now ppls, we dont all know that language.
-
But they do. Leave 'em be.
-
@ray: if you have never coded, you will have the attraction of the newness!
That can be a true motivation!
But if you want an advise : begin with very small project!
As all new language you must learn syntax, semantic, then algorythm, then tricks, ...
so many time for integrate all this
Have cool discovery!Ps for the french language you can use some coll progs like this one or this other
That is also programing
-
do you think it would be a good idea to ask whaat to teach me?
-
i think it would be very nice if whaat provides such thing here on the forum..
... as i saw he is a guy whit lots of talent.. great if he accepts.... -
well then, Whaat if your out there i need your help
-
It cant hurt to ask, but in the mean time theres loads of stuff to help you learn ruby on the internet:

I don't.
You're just developing an interest in making ruby's. That interest could last 2 days or it could last for years. If that interest is only going to last for a few weeks and you then move on to something else then any time that whaat has given to you will have been wasted.
You've made a good start to learning ruby's because you're part of this forum and there will obviously be help here if you need it. But if you're asking for help then I think it should be limited at this stage to just asking openly on the forum for help, rather than making personal requests directly to people. If whaat, or anyone else, wants to help you then they can easily contact you to help you. I just feel it's a bit rude to ask publically on the forum for him to help you.
