i have Sketchup 2017 pro and i can not seam to get this plugin to even show up let alone work. i'm very interested in this. can you shed some light on what to do?

I'm starting to use a tablet and the right-click context menu having the basic functions would be terrific. functions like Move, Push/pull, Rectangle, circle, etc.

Would like to have a way to keep a journal to each project. Without having to search for it each time i return to a project. I work with many different projects daily and i spend a lot of time searching to keep up with references or to create an outline to work from on projects.

Maybe under Windows a link to open WordPad... but then automatically set the file name to the same as the project open. It would be operable each time you return to the project. And, not have to search for it.

I have something set up to open WordPad, but I would like it return to the immediate project and not open a new WordPad.

A ruby would be ideal as well. i agree that we want to keep SketchUp simple.

Tips:
Your Sketchup version needs to support OBJ export.
The current options in the main OBJ export dialog will be used for each of the exported files [e.g. you might have Options > Units > 'meters', even when you are modeling in mm].

this is great. but... how do i use this back into another sketchup project. i can not open the obj file.
Why are you exporting as OBJ ?
If you want to export groups as separate SKPs, then there's a ...2skp version.

If you have any OBJ you'd like to import into your SKP, then there's on OBJimporter available...

Please explain your workflow and issue more clearly...

I've been designing RV (my occupation) and have used sketchup to lay out cabinets. these cabinets are custom to each coach. as I design I find cabinets or special features I would use in the future on other projects and would like to extract them for future inserts. I 'm trying to get away from redesigning the wheel each time.
