juju that helps into organizing a library.

maikoo wants to organize materials within a model.

Organizing Materials, Scenes, Components and Layers, all by creating groups and subgroups and in the case of scenes, by also grouping and subgrouping tabs, would be a bless.

Currently we just have Layer's Panel plugin, from Jiminy, that does this to layers. It's a bless but destroyed Jiminy's sanity so he has got free from it.

On previous versions SketchUp didn't force itself to go in front of other open programs. I mean, if I open a large file, it keeps popping up in front of my PDF viewer for example, or in front of another skp file, or whatever I use. It can be really annoying if you want to open 300 mb file, and it takes 10 minutes. You can't do anything else during that time basically. I just want it to load in the back and not force itself while I'm doing other stuff.

I would like you to add "open_active" to the SketchUp Ruby API.

I thought it was just me.
