I just wrote a plugin that creates a cpoint at the midpoint of any two arbitrary points. You can get it from its page at github and you can read about it on my blog.

If you name a component with double-quote (") in it, when you try to assign attributes using "Component Attributes," you'll get a "No entity data found." error, followed by a "Callback function error: 'length' is null or not an object @ /dcbridge.js[2573]" error. The workaround is to not use a double-quote (") in your component definition name.

This was found in Sketchup Pro 8.0.3117. Looks to me like someone forgot to scan the component def name for double-quotes and escape them. (Yes, I'm a professional coder)

Sure, I'll take a look at it. I'm running SU8 on Linux/Wine.

Yes this is a possibility, but there are some major stability issues that really affect its usability. I will try to fix these and make some sort of "preview" build.

Hi, infact. Do you need coding or debugging help? I really, really need this, as I'm running on Linux/Wine and the sticky dialog bug is driving me batty. I'm pretty familiar with the Ruby API, but I haven't looked at the C++ API yet, which I'm guessing is what you'd need to write extension.
