hmmmmm?... this sounds like someone is dabbling with scary things...

Great ideas and flattering feedback. I'm working on currency formatting right now, I don't think we should wait till version 2 to support non-US currency formatting. It seems there are a lot of folks on the other side of the ocean that want to use this in their workflow.

FYI, we are working on supporting non US number formatting and currency, hang in there world! Also, I should be pushing out an update today with a fix for CSV reporting on Windows.

This plugin actually required much of the functionality that was required for V-Ray for SketchUp. From the plugin side of things at least. I needed to be able to independently identify component instances, iterate faces to get area, tie in to the observer system to allow real-time interaction, create UI, etc. The only big difference is what data was being passed around, how it was formatted, and where the data was sent in the end. Also, if you want to get real technical, the HTML report is actually rendered by the browser

Yes, that is correct. This is a permanent license. User have expressed interest in a subscription, but that would require a different licensing system, which was not planned for version 1.

There should be a trial version available on the extension warehouse: https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/estimator-sketchup

Thanks for the support everyone. I look forward to working on the next version, but I really want as much feedback as I can get, so we can make sure that this tool can serve as an essential part of any builder's tool kit.

Hey everyone. I just published my first plugin since leaving Chaos Group and V-Ray. Check it out if you get a chance. It's an estimation/reporting extension called Estimator. It is available on the extension warehouse. Http://www.estimatorforsketchup.com

Let me know what you think!

I have alerted the powers that be!

sorry guys, I have nothing to report. I know there's some big stuff going on, but that's all I know.
