Start SketchUp 8 without plugins
-
On a PC you can make a pair of .cmd files to switch off Plugins and switch on Plugins.
By renaming Plugins as Plugins!, and back again...
Along the lines of:
rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins" "Plugins!" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp.exe"
and then again:
rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins!" "Plugins" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp.exe"The executor will need enough security permissions to rename the folder...

I have started on a vbs to move the plugins out of the plugins folder but simply renaming the folder is much easier, thanks for the suggestion.

This is in a school environment where users double-click the shortcut I provide them, if that shortcut can disable plugins before opening SketchUp it'll save them, and me, a lot of trouble.
Add
/DisableRubyAPIas argument to the link.

Thanks thomthom - I suspected there was an undocumented/unsupported flag like
/DisableRubyAPIbut couldn't find it... Do you have a list of these ? -
No, I don't remember where I got it from either. I just had it on my desktop.

Notice how quickly SketchUp starts up without the Ruby API... o_O
-
I know of
Sketchup.exe -RubyStartup "c:\path\to\My Script.rb"but that's about it

-
That starts Sketchup, loading [and potentially running, if it contains self-running code] that Ruby before, any others...

Thank you thomthom, that's exactly what I was looking for
