Looks really cool, and a lot of work ahead.
Since you GPL it, do you have plans to move development to github or so and let other cool folks contribute to the progress?

Yes. I will publish to GitHub the source code of this plugin in a near future.

Very cool!
It would be great, if this could be made non-destructive / as modifier. But i suppose it's not possible with SketchUp to store the operations in the model/component. Maybe this could change in the future with LiveComponents...

Good plugin. But I have the suggestions.

Tab Number: It has an extra cell so we can name it
Tab Draw *** : It has an extra cell to Hide/Unhide
Thanks.

hi Samuel,
Great plugin! i really hope this grows into something like GH for Rhino.
now, I am no coder, and I have absolutely no idea how this thing works under the hood. But, would be it possible to click in the SU window to enter values for points instead of typing in the x.y.z coordinates?
thanks!

pinoy

This is good! Thank you

Hi Jacob, Thanks! I'm thinking about a "Parametric Modeling > Extract Point From Construction Point" entry in context menu when a construction point is selected in SketchUp window. This would be a shortcut to add a "Point" node.

What's new in 0.0.3 version?

Node adding process was enhanced: one can place new nodes quicker!
One can extract vectors and points from active model via context menu.
In "Calculate" nodes, one can use rand function to get random numbers.
As soon a material or a layer is added or removed: Nodes Editor reloads.
A door is available in examples schemas. Thanks Simon Joubert for this.
Although it's not recommended, one can read/edit .schema files easier.
