Really?
I just got a reply/receipt from support@skalp4sketchup.com
Haven't tried "sklap" yet though
BTW, it would be nice if you translated also your 2 last menu sections, contact/resellers. Now part of it is in Dutch.
It would also be nice if you made available a small text file or something with all changes/fixes in the last version(s), as well as known bugs and planned features?
There are 2 places where you can find all changes/fixes in the last version(s):
- p45 in the getting started manual (http://download.skalp4sketchup.com/downloads/docs/getting_started.pdf)
- Skalp.rb file in the plugin folder.

Another question, I assume Skalp will only be viewed in Layout with either raster or hybrid mode; not vector. Is this correct?
If you like to see the textures, you should use raster or hybrid.
The patterns are raster in SketchUp and in Layout. Only when you use export to dxf, you get vector pattern hatches in autocad.The Skalp Team.
Got it, thanks!

I wasn't aware of that the getting_started file was updated.You are right, this isn't the best place to put this info.
The getting started manual is updated regulary because it's still a document in progress. We are a two people company who work hard to make a very usefull plugin. We must divide our time in fixing bugs, golving support, implement new features, write a decent manual and making tutorial movies.... and we also need to do some marketing to earn some money to get time to make our plugin the best section plugin there is.Bye the way this week there will be a very important update of our section algoritm! Skalp will section non solids much better and there is a lot more coming the next months...

New updates:
Should the previous installation be deleted before installing the new or will the update write over the existing installation? -
@John...
It will all be taken care of automatically, when you update...
First it will uninstall the version you have and then SU will restart and you can install the new version subsequently... -

New updates:
Should the previous installation be deleted before installing the new or will the update write over the existing installation?It depends. If the previous beta version wasn't expired and you clicked on the auto update feature. This previous version is uninstalled without removing your license file and you pattern files, sketchup is closed and you automatically go to the download page. Startup Sketchup again, install Skalp and you're up and running again.
When the beta version is expired you can install the new version right on top of the previous. You only need the restart SketchUp after installation. And you are also up and running again.

what do you mean by "auto update feature" ? what am I missing here? I see no auto update feature anywhere in my mac version!
another thing: I have installed updates in all sorts of ways and it always goes well. right now I downloaded the latest in the form of an .rbz file. just updated with sketchup on and it started working right away.

What to do if you have problems with installing Skalp 1.0 Beta 8:
Due to the changing of the name and the path to meet the Sketchup Extension Warehouse guidelines we see on some computers trouble with the installation. You can do the following to fix this. Look at your plugin directory*. You wil see two directories one Skalp and the other Skalp_Skalp, there is also one file Skalp_Skalp.rb. If the file Skalp.rb is still there you may delete this file.
You can now try to startup SketchUp and Skalp again. If this doesn't fix the problem feel free to contact us.*SketchUp plugin directory:
Windows: C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins
Mac OS X: Open a new Finder window, press and hold the Option key on your keyboard, the click Go in the menu bar > Library > Application Support > SketchUp 2014 > SketchUp > PluginsThe Skalp Team.

When the new version is up and running and you copied your custom made autocad pattern files to the new folder (only if you imported pattern files before) you can safely delete the old one.

Last week we released Skalp for SketchUp v1.0 beta 8 with an improved section algorithm.
-
Does the trial version released ?
2 September 2014 (expires 30 November 2014)
but seems there is a code needed ?
How obtain this code ? (for trial of course) -
It won't work on SketchUp 6 Pilou...
-
I also thought that it was the demo, but according to manual it is not the free version. The expiration date is in the BETA phase for activated product.
-
I have both very old V6 free and up to date 2014 make
-
We are working hard to get the trials ready. Please be patient, it won't be long anymore.
