      I was wondering since so many people make plug-ins, how do you make them? Do you need a special software or what?

          Not that i know anything about this, but you also use the sketchup API which kind of lets you access the abilities of SU trough ruby, as far as i can tell.

                  It's just Oriented Object programming πŸ˜’
                  As all language, you must learn it : it's not difficult and also not very very easy, just a question of time learning curve πŸ˜„
                  More you are young, more it's easy πŸ˜‰

                    If you want to take a deep look at a plugin, just go to your Plugins folder, right-click one and choose to open it using Notepad.
                    You can even write Rubies using Notepad, but it would be better to use a text editor that is rather more sophisticated and can automatically help with the coding. Something like Notepad++

                        Depends on your know-how on programming and your abstraction ability. And of course it depends on Sketchup 🀣

                                    @ray: if you have never coded, you will have the attraction of the newness!
                                    That can be a true motivation! 😎
                                    But if you want an advise : begin with very small project!
                                    As all new language you must learn syntax, semantic, then algorythm, then tricks, ...
                                    so many time for integrate all this πŸ˜‰
                                    Have cool discovery! 😎

                                    Ps for the french language you can use some coll progs like this one or this other πŸ˜‰
                                    That is also programing β˜€
