The Launch Tool
The Launch Tool is the first tool in the Virtualwind SketchUp Plugin toolbar. It can also be accessed from the main menu via the Plugins → Virtualwind → Launch Virtualwind sub-menu item.

Selecting the Launch Tool will cause Virtualwind to start to launch. Virtualwind is launched in a separate window, in a separate non-blocking thread. This means that Virtualwind and SketchUp can be used independently. Closing Virtualwind does not affect SketchUp and vice-versa.
The Launch Tool will try to have Virtualwind automatically open the most-recently exported file. This is looked at more closely in the next section.
