Searching for a plugin code template

[Iltis]

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

https://github.com/SketchUp/sketchup-ruby-api-tutorials

The examples are commented so it is easy to see structure

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