      Hello everyone,

      I would like to "cleanly" code small extensions for SketchUp.

      Is there somewhere an empty code template with best practices ? with comments that say "you have to put (this) here"

      For example, I'm wondering about :

      • how many folders ?
      • where (folder) to put toolbar icons, what formats are supported ?
      • where to put menu descriptions in the code ?
      • how to separate the code into different files ?
      • which "containers" to use in the code ?

      I'm not a strong coder, so I'm sorry if these questions seem trivial.

      Do you have anything like this to hand?

      Thank you for your help,
      Renaud

        It's a good idea to look at the sketchup example on github to get a feel for best practices

        The examples are commented so it is easy to see structure

        This is a good example of a simple extension...
