      NOTHING! Zero! Nada!

      One of the main problems I have, is verifying that the script runs in SketchUp.

      1. Doing a load "Ruby.rb" in the Ruby Console does NOT always clear out the previous values. Hence I don't even bother to use it anymore. Its sheer insanity to constantly reload SU, then the script to see if the script runs. After 8 hours of programming a Ruby script, I spend more time doing 1. then actual programming. 😳

      If anyone here has ever written code in GDL for ArchiCad, you will discover that all the GLD code runs within the Code ArchiCad window, while the results of the code run within a 3D ArchiCad Window. Any changes in the code are immediately translated to the 3d window, while all code errors are immediately flagged in the Code window. You never have to quit ArchiCad while your writing code in GDL. ArchiCad also provides a standard user interface under which all user code is displayed and runs.

      Now that's what I call an API! 🎉

        In my opinion there are several things that are doing well in Trimble
        But I see a couple of errors:

        1. when opening sketchup 8 will not get a notice to upgrade to 2013 version (because of this, they will lose millions of users)

        2. in "Sketchup 2013 free" entities transformations performed more slowly than "Sketchup 2013 pro" and "Sketchup 8". These things are really serious errors

        (google translator)

          You were always told to update regardless of the version for the last few releases.

          And there's no performance difference between Make and Pro from what I can tell.

            It does update. Unless you have a firewall that blocks access.

            Got a reproducible sample case for this?
