Hi Pavel and welcome!
I am not sure what exactly you want; a plug-in to help write an(other) plug-in???
I would like to express idea in a topic, but I do not know what, and whether there is it, on a writing of plug-ins pluginsmakers for a writing of those plug-ins, hope you me understood? Thanks.
-
Okay, I think I understand. You have an idea and would like to ask if somebody could write a plugin for that.
I think best would be to go to the Plugins Forum and start a new topic with the [REQUEST] word in the subject. Just like this one for example:

Hi everyone, I'm new new here. I recently downloaded the free version 8 and I am having problems getting plugins to work. Im on a PC with windows 7. Any help would be appreciated. I look forward to learning a lot here. Thanks!
-
Welcome jp261:
Sketchup 8 is new and many plugins were designed based on either v6 or v7, unless otherwise noted. Some of these may not have been updated. Best to post your issue in the specific plugin thread/topic so that the author can respond and make suggestions and updates. -
Hi jp261 and welcome to SCF
Please, write up a more detailed "report" about what is not working.
When I first installed SU 8, I slimply copied all my plugins from the respective folder of SU 7 to that of SU 8 and except for one plugin (which has been fixed ever since) everything worked as expected.

Thanks for the quick replies. I'm trying to get Housebuilder to work. I have created a new folder under plugins named Housebuilder and placed these three RB files in it: Housebuilder, Housebuilder_extension, Housebuilder Tool. Ive tried different variations of this as well as putting the RB files directly in the plugin folder. But I cant figure out how to open the tools in sketchup. I downloaded the files from Ruby Library Depot.
-
Please, have a look at this topic (there is a new version of housebuilder there) although that might not fit your needs. However the author of this new version (and maintainer of the Ruby Depot as well) may be able to help you (I do not use this plugin myself).
Post your question/problem there as he may not read all the posts in this subforum.

Heyo...whats the lag time in posting? I posted int he developers forum about a networking sockets workaround and my post either vanished into thin air or it's waiting approval by a mod...or it was deleted. Is this board moderated?
-
The first couple of post are approved my a mod, then your let loose on the board
-
Glad to have found this forum.
I anticipate using SU far into the future for a project which my wife and I are working on. I look to be creating a city several times over to represent how it evolves through the years.
If there's anything I want, it is to figure out how to get other members of my family to be as enthusiastic about SU as I am! I know I will need as much help as I can get and I want them to be inspired to use SU as much as I want to.

Hi xpoferens and welcome to SCF!
I have similar ambitions (with my city). Have you checked this example out yet? (Download the Google Earth kmz file linked from the site). In GE, at the top left, there is the TimeLine slider...

Hi, my name is Lance, and I joined so I can learn advance modeling method and how to use SU. I am also a digital artist at deviantArt, using Paint.NET. So, I will be looking forward to learning how to use SU.
-
Welcome, Lance:
Be prepared to have your way of seeing the world changed forever.
Because you will want to model everything around you.
If you happen to be handy with pencil and paper, 3d modeling will influence the way you draw, and most definitely the way you think. -
Hi all,
first of all my big hearty thanks to sketchucation for making such a community. its such a blessing n a boon for alll sketchup learners .. i have been of late reffering to this site quiet a lot and got introduced to this awesome aid for imagination called sketch up, day by day i make it a point to learn atleast few things new in it!!
smtime back i had downloaded a 3d model of a violin and was tryin my hand to remake it. kinda was tricky for me as i m just a beginner. m trying to crack it little by little. i got myself stuck making the spiral part as seen in the image i ll attach alongwith. it wud be a grt help if smone cud lemme knw how to make a spiral top that way.
thanks in advance,
simrose
-
Well, if I am not mistaken, that violin was made by this person. As far as I know him, he must have made it simply "hand stitching" (especially that it was in version 5 with lot less plugins than nowadays).
-
Thank you so much for the swift reply, but pardon me for asking a silly question , may be cos i m new to it-----what is "hand-stiching" is it a plugin or manually draging and joining vertices and edges??
Thanks
simrose
