        Just parametric modelisation with nodes! ๐Ÿ˜„

        if you don't like nodes, forgive it! ๐Ÿ˜‰

            Well, if it IS a joke he will make a lot of people disappointed.
            Really hoping this is true but the look of the nodes look a bit to much like Grasshopper. ๐Ÿ˜•

                  That post has been updated. It IS in fact an April Fools joke. And a bad one because it hits a sore spot for many SU afficionados like myself who would love to see SU reach new heights. Looks like he is a troll after all.

                  If you look at his portfolio of work it is almost all Grasshopper/Rhino stuff, so doubly unlikely that anything related to SU would ever come out of there.

                          I talked to some guys at Basecamp about something like this. There is interest. Which this thread also displays. So it's a good potential for a plugin project. ๐Ÿ˜„

                              Well it already is a plugin project for me. Got some nice interaction with nodes and bezier curves.
                              But I don't feel like putting a lot of work into this if someone else or even a company like it looked in this case has a similar project almost in hand.

                              It's no fun putting a lot of work into something and then someone else beat you to it. But I guess thats the rule of the game..

                              So the guys at bascamp already started something or ?

                              BTW. Pilou, I doubt you would benifit from a plugin like this anyway clinging on to Ie6 and SU6 NO? This would require at least IE9. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                Just idea talk. Someone showcased grasshopper for Rhino and some of up talked whether if it would be possible for SketchUp. I know of no-one who's working on something like this.
                                I'd say go for it. Release an early simple version and grow it over time.

                                      My Reply to Nathan Miller (who posted the announcement) was:
                                      a) too bad it was a prank, but created a storm
                                      b) thanked for making all of us aware there's a real need and a possibility something like this may become true
                                      c) hope we can count on you (him) further...

                                      Cheers,

                                        That's quite some old stuff but still very impressive list.
                                        Paracloud looks cool. Still developped?
                                        I think the only possibility is using webdialog, since SDK is no longer supported, or maintained ?

                                        Yeah, Ok. Since youre a fellow countryman I toss in some screeners. I'll probably regret showing stuff already, but I like feedback good or bad.(preferable good).

                                        I'm still testing out stuff. Solving each problem and decide if it's worth to continue.
                                        The hard part will be solving communication between the nodes and what/how/when to send to SU. Cause it has to happend quickly.

                                        One idea is to have visual feedback all the time. Sort of design friendly. I don't think it is any point in letting the user connect X numbers of nodes and then hit a submitbutton.
                                        Don't need a node interface for that.

                                        Anyway heres a screentest. Nothing much really just some Jquery draggables and a plugin for making connections(still learning about that one). Doesent do anything with Su yet. The dialog is Jquery dialogclass that is created dynamically when doubleclicking node.

                                        Don't pay to much attention to the styling, I will distance me from Grasshopper quite a bit further on. Also the things they do in grasshopper is quite amazing and some of them would kill Sketchup.. So Start easy, yeah?

                                            This is not what typical SketchUp user wants unless they are doing energy modeling but thought I would share. We are doing our parametric analysis outside of SketchUp using an OSM file (OpenStudio Model) as a baseline, and then the OSM can be loaded into the OpenStudio SketchUp Plugin. The ruby based measures that form the basis for design alternatives in PAT (Parametric Analysis Tool) can also be loaded into the OpenStudio SketchUp plugin and used to manipulate the currently loaded OpenStudio model. These can be geometric manipulations or can relate to less visible changes such as the type of activity or equipment in specific spaces.
