    Diego mentioned it was made with HTML + Silverlight.

    Though, I don't see anything that can't be made with regular HTML+JS+CSS. Silverlight seems a bit heavy handed for a UI - and you require the suers to install a plugin.

        In my defense, there are some things:

        (I couldn't make this auto-play, so right-click)

          Yes? I still don't see anything that can't be done with HTML+CSS+JS...

          Possible, yes - but why? works well the system he has. Putting together a UI frameworks isn't a light task.

              if it works well. but for me.
              one good thing about sketchup is its graphical interface.
              if plugin interfaces are similar, "believe" would be better.
              nice and better integrated.

                While it's nice to be able to use HLSL to manipulate images in the browser, there are other reasons as well.

                The UI part of the project is about 70K lines at the moment, supports undo/redo for absolutely all actions, and operates in a fully modeless fashion within SketchUp. Imho, it would be much more difficult and error-prone to try to do this in JS than in C#. Also, the UI works exactly the same on SU6/7/8/Win/OSX.

                For projects smaller than this, of course I agree that HTML/CSS/JS would often make much more sense.

                            Ah, I really should have inferred that. It's basically just a runtime for running Flash out-of-browser, isn't it?

                              I've not used it - but I was under the impression it also had a framework with pre-made UI widgets... ?

                                Just a guess, as I'm in no way a Flash guy, but I think you may be thinking of Flex, rather than AIR.

                                  Quite possibly I've gotten them two mixed up. 😳 I'm not a Flash guy myself.

                                    JD - your Silverlight UI - do you use a ready made framework? Skinned? Or did you build one yourself?

                                      Looks cool but you've stopped any possibility of doing this on non-Windows platforms.
                                      No?

                                        No, Silverlight runs fine run on Windows or OSX. There is spotty support for it in linux, but it lags the official SL version by a point or two. But linux was not an issue here anyway.
