    A publicly listed roadmap of development would be nice.

        Just an idea. Not a biggie. What if you could find (and / or) open any layout file which references a SU file --from within the SU file.

            Also I would like to see trays for Mac just as in Windows. It MUST be possible to clean up the UI! Same for LayOut. Every session requires clearing up all the windows.

              • a usable, more direct or intuitive version of dynamic components with usable stretch and move options like in dynamic blocks in acad for instance
              • a camera that can use/display shift parameters of the camera in render plugins

              These should be feasible right?

                Modulus operator in Dynamic Components. Please. It would make some of my formulae infinitely less complicated.

                      One of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation
                      (I still have no idea)

                      Doesn't Simfonia Animation Tools have a modulator function so you can create wave signals (possibly completely unrelated).

                        The problem is that jiminy had to come up with so many workaround methods to create Layers Panel, that even he got confused and eventually stop supporting it, in order to have time to create skatter.

                        I believe he'd gladly welcome a native solution to this...

                          I'd say JBB-Layers Panel is as usefull to me as it is to you!

                            I'm impressed that he even got it to work as someone who was teaching himself Ruby as he went.

                            I cannot say how useful it has been using Layers Panel in conjunction with scenes to create complex construction documents in Layout.

                            I arrange every view I need as a scene in sketchup with the appropriate layers on/off (some models have 30+ layers so doing this without Layers Panel is extremely error-prone), send to layout, place the scenes, dimension and add notes, export, build.

                            Its standard functionality in photoshop etc yet does NOT add any unnecessary complexity to a new user

                              IΒ΄ve just copy pasted my little wish from the SketchUp 2016 Wishlist πŸ˜‰

                              I want an improved 2D pixels export - regardless of the width/height-size of my currently used SkUp viewport. (As if I would adjust the output resolution within any render plugin)
                              I want that other SkUp users with their own viewport sice can export exactly the same file resolution as I do. Interacting by repeating the same output results with other users would be so much easier ...

                              Even if there is a plugin for that, SkUp should at last be able to do this "out of the box"

                              never trust a skinny cook

                                I'll soon make it completely open-source, so that anyone can update it, even try to make money out of it, whatever.
