[Plugin] Skalp for SketchUp v2.0 (live section plugin)

@John...
It will all be taken care of automatically, when you update...
First it will uninstall the version you have and then SU will restart and you can install the new version subsequently...

New updates:
Should the previous installation be deleted before installing the new or will the update write over the existing installation?

It depends. If the previous beta version wasn't expired and you clicked on the auto update feature. This previous version is uninstalled without removing your license file and you pattern files, sketchup is closed and you automatically go to the download page. Startup Sketchup again, install Skalp and you're up and running again.

When the beta version is expired you can install the new version right on top of the previous. You only need the restart SketchUp after installation. And you are also up and running again.

what do you mean by "auto update feature" ? what am I missing here? I see no auto update feature anywhere in my mac version!

another thing: I have installed updates in all sorts of ways and it always goes well. right now I downloaded the latest in the form of an .rbz file. just updated with sketchup on and it started working right away.

What to do if you have problems with installing Skalp 1.0 Beta 8:

Due to the changing of the name and the path to meet the Sketchup Extension Warehouse guidelines we see on some computers trouble with the installation. You can do the following to fix this. Look at your plugin directory*. You wil see two directories one Skalp and the other Skalp_Skalp, there is also one file Skalp_Skalp.rb. If the file Skalp.rb is still there you may delete this file.

You can now try to startup SketchUp and Skalp again. If this doesn't fix the problem feel free to contact us.

*SketchUp plugin directory:
Windows: C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins
Mac OS X: Open a new Finder window, press and hold the Option key on your keyboard, the click Go in the menu bar > Library > Application Support > SketchUp 2014 > SketchUp > Plugins

When the new version is up and running and you copied your custom made autocad pattern files to the new folder (only if you imported pattern files before) you can safely delete the old one.

Last week we released Skalp for SketchUp v1.0 beta 8 with an improved section algorithm.

pilou · 12 Sept 2014, 00:55

Does the trial version released ?
2 September 2014 (expires 30 November 2014)
but seems there is a code needed ?
How obtain this code ? (for trial of course)

Krisidious · 12 Sept 2014, 02:27

It won't work on SketchUp 6 Pilou...

srx · 12 Sept 2014, 07:32

I also thought that it was the demo, but according to manual it is not the free version. The expiration date is in the BETA phase for activated product.

pilou · 12 Sept 2014, 07:36

I have both very old V6 free and up to date 2014 make

Skalp · 12 Sept 2014, 08:20

We are working hard to get the trials ready. Please be patient, it won't be long anymore.

JQL · 12 Sept 2014, 14:00

Will be waiting for that trial too!

Thanks,

João

Best SU plugin out there - well worth the money!

I'm having trouble with two sections in the drawing I'm working on. I can't seem to get them to both update. when I view the inserted model in Layout one section is working and the other isn't. They are separate sections, separate planes, separate layers.

There can be two things:

You don't use the function 'update all scenes (Layout) ' You can find this in the menu of the Skalp dialog box.
You need this function to update all the different section to use in Layout or to give the model to somebody without Skalp.

There is a problem in Sketchup to Layout with the active scene while saving your model. Activate a scene you don't use Layout in Sketchup when saving your model.

K... I'll look into those. thanks for the super fast customer service as usual.

mk11 · 17 Oct 2014, 11:23

Kris;
I was having the same issue yesterday and the "update all scences" seemed to fix the issue.

Krisidious · 17 Oct 2014, 12:14

Didn't seem to work... I ended up deleting the offending sections through Skalp and making new ones. I'm sure I just messed something up.
