      OK, thanks Adam. I like this web viewer more and more. Will there be plugins for other browsers too (Opera, Chrome etc.). I hope it's not an extremely big effort to port it to other browsers, too, once the core is working.

      Noticed on a Mac - but no reason to think the same solution wouldn't be applied to both platforms. I honestly can't decide whether its inspired pragmatic engineering or completely bonkers. @driven said: have you tried this http://www.gremedy.com/downloadMac.php Of course..whaddaya think I am! Not as good as Pix etc but certainly a step up from OSX "OpenGL Profiler" Adam

      Adam! You are the man! I have been waiting for this feature for the Windows OS for some time now! Will this application require LightUp to work... or will this be a stand alone application? Awesome!

      I'm trying to fix a big file. Can someone explain what the Goldilocks output means. In the screenshot, does this mean the very component last in each list muntin v#2 is the big component or the whole window or door? The muntins should only be 6 sides If I open this up and select all it is 18 entities Also there is a number in each column. On the left "24" on the right and "1287070" on the right. I guess the one on the right is actual edges? (where are they?) I am comparing to some similar projects made in similar fashion. This file is 79 MB--10 times larger than some of the others and a pain to work with. [image: LYy4_ScreenShot2018-05-05at6.16.04PM.png]

      adam, the latest developments are quite impressive. Lu is becoming a very complete rendering plugin. congrats on your work. I have not had time to play seriously with LU but I am very anxious to do it. I'll get to it soon enough.

      @xrok1 said: seems like your going backwards 1.9 to 1.1 ????? the trailing 0 has no value so you might need to rethink your revision numbering 1.09 to 1.1 might be more appropriate. one would expect ver 1.95 or 2.0 to be next No, the trailing zero has a significance - he's going from 9 to 10 (nine to ten). And application version numbering isn't like normal decimal numbers, the numbers before and after the period is independent. I for instance use versions like 1.4.2 (Major.Minor.Revision) Major number increases in major application changes - like rewrites etc or when there's major compatibility changes. Minor is often increased for new feature additions. Revision is often just bug fixes. There are different practices and norms though.

      Adam, A point to always bear in mind when working with SU are its limitations when modelling circles, cylinders, arcs etc. Remember that circles, cylinders, pipework etc are made up of short straight line segments and are not really circular at all, but many sided polygons that "cut the corner" of the circles etc they are approximating. ........... When importing CAD data eg from AutoCad, the original geometry may be modelled as solids etc and have no problems at all in their original (CAD) form with respect to gaps, slivers, fit etc. When these solids are imported into SU, all the cylinders, pipes etc are approximated with many sided polygons. This sometimes creates gaps and slivers where the original geometry in its CAD format had a perfect fit with no gaps at all. Particularly noticeable if you zoom in. On the whole SU does a pretty good job when importing such curved CAD data - but it can only ever approximate the original. ............... Hope this helps Howard L'

      I ran into that as well. My write-up from back then: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20657 (Probably outdated and not 100% correct.) I had thought of doing a CExtension available, with some basic file, read,write,exist? methods - but I'm not that familiar with C yet.
