A bit scary...

While finishing off the OpenGL optimisation for LightUp v2.1, I came across something a bit scary in SketchUp 8.
Looks like the picking for the SketchUp GUI (eg for inference etc) is implemented by creating a software-based GL context along side the hardware accelerated GL context and performing view-based picks. If I'm correct (not 100% certain), that would be seriously painful for large models.

Noticed on a Mac - but no reason to think the same solution wouldn't be applied to both platforms.
I honestly can't decide whether its inspired pragmatic engineering or completely bonkers.

Of course..whaddaya think I am! Not as good as Pix etc but certainly a step up from OSX "OpenGL Profiler"
