No, SU is written in c++ (or some other variant of c.) I think the ruby api works by calling the relevant c++ functions in SU when a script calls the equivalent ruby method. Id guess a ruby api for LO would work in similar fashion.

To sbsaint, it has certainly been mentioned before. Would be worth sending a PM to bjanzen and seeing if theres any update.

And could there be some way, that someone at Sketchup, certify that a plugin is written in such way that it "should not", (not looking for a guarantee) interfere with Sketchup. So there could be a list of certified plugins and a plugin writer could lists his/her plugin as being certified as not destructive.

I can quite confidently say that would be a very wasteful exercise. Plugin authors themselves have a hard enough time getting their plugins working properly and they know the code like the back of their hand. For somebody unfamiliar with the code to try dissect even a moderately complex plugin would take an age.

A minor point though, i agree with the main jist that the greying out bug is extremely annoying.

Very strange. My findings so far: something to do with the long faces, none of which will scale individually. The end faces do scale, however.

There shouldnt be a problem with softening edges in indigo, not sure what the issue si though, have to have a look at that pic when you post it.

I wonder if thered be more mileage in a system where people pay for the goods then we send off for them. A lot easier and cheaper to setup than a full blown shop and gets rid of having to worry about posting etc.

Although i agree that SU could do with begin better at handling larger meshes (especially importing and grouping) i think comparing SU and meshlab is misleading given that meshlab is specifically designed for handling large triangulated meshes.

From the meshlab site:

The system is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models arising in 3D scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering and converting this kind of meshes.

Surely the pic is evidence enough...

Just noticed its parked in a disabled bay, how appropriate.

Quite glad i'll never have to try and converse with the owner of this vehicle.

Good find.

It is indeed bad, but its an improvement on what the situation would normally be. Cant really see why thats a bad thing in itself.

Certainly worth waiting for iphone OS 4 i reckon, then you may get a price decrease/improved features with the added bonus of being able to use multiple programs etc.

Relative to if there was no eruption there is less CO2 being emitted (according to this graphic anyway), so im not really sure what the problem/point is?

Its basically a feature that allows you to control the intensity of light sources in the scene after youve finished rendering. As an example, imagine you have a room lit from a window and 2 intreior lights, using relight you could do one daytime image with the scene lit entirely from the window and then a night image lit entirely by the interior lighting, and you get all that from a single render.

Interesting to hear an 'outsiders' point of view, cheers pete.

Blue is conservative which is roughly equivalent to your republican party (or whichever party is on the right.)
