SketchUp does not run in the cloud. The above example "Roozz" was scamware. It messed with the local install of SketchUp because it did install SketchUp locally into 'Program Files'.
"Spoon" is at least as clever to install unobtrusively into '%USER%\Local Settings', but it doesn't succeed to display the application inside the browser (it's displayed in a normal window).

Running a local app in a browser is really not the point of cloud computing (we do already run media plugins or pdf viewers in the browser; there exist plugins that can put any application inside firefox, also SketchUp).
Those plugins Roozz/Spoon don't give platform-interoperability. In the best case, such a plugin would create a VCN connection to a computer/server that runs those applications on a real Windows/OS X.

I think Google did good to remove SketchUp from Roozz (which is dangerous) and possibly the same for Spoon. On the other side, Google likes web applications and confirmed that they keep an eye on a future SketchUp Web App, when the technology is ready:

that makes sense...
looking forward to these updates! would love to have them in place!

Wireless would be cool.

then view>toolbars>sandbox 😉

Nice! This one was made for 3D printing in metal

It looks way better on Youtube, for some reason, though.

its too complicated a model to do with out perfect plans, sorry....

C´mon, don´t get so discouraged!
Perfect plans are hard to find, but they are not enough anyway - as it was mentioned before, it all depends on LOD you are going to put into it. If it is going to be a highly detailed model, you´ll probably need lots of reference images as well.

I need some thing that is a lttle less complicated maybe a little smaller?

Now what´s the challenge in that? 😄

EDIT: However, take a look at the http://www.collectibleblueprints.com/Index.html - you might get some ideas and inspiration.
Good luck!

thanks guys!
chris's plug-in is perfect!
sorry tig but your plug-in keeps crashing and I dont want the line to be components 😳
thanks guys!

SUp can crash if the Outliner is open and you run a tool - that's a known SUp shortcoming awaiting a fix...
The two tools are not rivals but achieve similar looking results by different means

Yep, almost all renderer's will give a free trial period... that is certainly the thing to do before simply going off a recommendation on a message board.

The biggest mistake I see people make with their choice of software is going by the results somebody else was able to get -- in the right hands almost any renderer is going to produce excellent results... the question you need to ask is how much of what you see is just post-production adjustments(which can be very significant).

Best,
Jason.

I am finding another file link Hang tight

Finished 😍
Thanks guys realy helped I am geo modeling this so it is going to be basic! Roofs are not my forte...
As a reward for helping me out you can see how far I have gotten 😄

No i am not that bad 😆

I am just not a mac user I have tried a few of fredo's plugins but nothing is working...
Stupid macs 😎

Well if you have managed to put files in right place, i would check under tool palettes and see if listed.
If not go to preferences and make sure checked.
Then check what location you chose for tool to be at.

Okay sorry for taking so long here is the latest render:

I always listen to this song when i am modeling

I would just re0install it or email the twilight support team or check their forums if they have any?

That tree video is pretty sweet.

We're trying to find a 'cross-platform' solution though...

I understand that Tig, I just mentioned it because I thought perhaps some of the coding from Win 7 might help to make it work.
