Hey David,

Google verified they had a mapreduce problem starting the 11th but that they've backfilled the missing data. They are actively working on a permanent solution, so you should be good from here on out. The stats may be a little laggy, but they're aware of the problem.

Thanks for your report and your patience! Have a nice holiday.

Yep, I just chatted with Tommy and Jody on the support team, so I think we're on the same page now. I'll take a look. I suspect this is just a delay in when the server log parser ran over at Google. If you see another big gap, please let us know.

Hey David,

Can you point me at a model you're seeing this for? I can follow up with Google.

Will the new "Extensions Warehouse" notify you when there is a plugin update available?

Yes.

When you start SketchUp, you'll see a yellow "reload" icon on the Extension Warehouse toolbar if there are fresh versions. Then your "My Extensions" page will have update buttons for the new ones.

Hopefully, this'll make it much easier for developers to push out improvements.

And thanks to everyone on this thread for your feedback. We are definitely listening.

I suspect this is a Mountain Lion problem. Chris added to an issue over on the github site.

Console needs some style tweaks on the mac · Issue #1 · SketchUp/sketchup-developer-tools

There are some inconsistencies on the mac. We need to update the CSS to fix the following: Hover on the top checkboxes is inconsistent. One is white and one is nothing. Also, those checkboxes and labels should have the same cursor (point...

I'll buy a beer (or cookie) for whoever figures it out first.

Yes! I got in touch with Nathan and he graciously confirmed that folks can use the code.

Yeah, the contact form gives an error. But your post gave me an idea... I did a WHOIS lookup on the domain and got an email address. I'll try that next.

Hey everybody,

I'm trying to track down the guys who wrote this STL exporter. Anybody know Nathan Bromham or Konrad Shroeder? I'd like to take their code and play with it, but the license isn't clear. They say it's "freeware" but that means a lot of different things to different folks.

See some of you at Basecamp next week! Woot!

Hrm. Edson, I grabbed that file and I'm not seeing a crash. I'm on SU 8.0.11751.

Even in there is something corrupted about your specific SketchUp install, it's very strange that a plugin would change the behavior. I guess we'll wait and see if Rick can recreate... either way it'll be another clue.

Hey Edson,

Does it fail with all DWGs, or just one in particular?

I installed Rick's script on SU8 Pro on my mac. Same OS version as you, and the DWG import worked for me. Could you share the file?

Hey guys,

I really don't expect anything weird to happen with the docs. Google is obligated (and happy) to host our current web resources until such time as we have a replacement ready. (One with rejuvenated user comments. )

Hey everyone,

Your comments have not been lost! We're working on it.

Stay tuned. I'll reply here with more info as I get it.

Thanks to everyone who put time into adding the comments in the first place! You guys are awesome.

Hey Thomthom,

In general, the Observers all work at the core Sketchup level, not at the API level, so you'll get a mess of events that are created from SketchUp's internal messaging mechanism, often in ways that appear bizarre from the outside. When we first started putting Observers into the product we knew that they'd be hard to work with in some cases, and you've delved into a complex example.

I wish I had a simpler one to offer, but I think your timer method looks like a reliable workaround.

Yea.. but the formatting sucks!

...of course if you prefer to post nicely formatted stuff to this thread, that's cool, too!

HOW! ??

I don't think it takes markup... or does it?
If so. What kind? git markup? bbCode? what?

The comments don't accept markup. I'm just saying that if you have a comment that needs code formatting or something, you can post to this Sketchucation thread.

Thanks for the extra feedback, guys. I've blocked out some time to catch up on the comments.

Cheers,

What would your preferred channel for API documentation issues be? This thread or the comment pages on the API pages?

Reporting issues via the code.google.com comments tool (which you can find at the bottom of every documentation page) is better, because it warns other users right on the page.

@tomot said:

WOW! no replies for almost a year!

Hey Tomot,

I'm still listening.

We have been making incremental fixes now and then. I'll take this ping as a useful reminder to check the thread for things we still need to do...

@smpfmc said:

It'd be appreciated if you could point me in the right direction with any of this:

Hiya! I'll try my best.

@smpfmc said:

1. Is it possible to make the 'users can edit as a text box' a standard option for a custom attribute rather than having to select it?

Not without some fairly-serious Ruby hacking. You could write a custom plugin that would watch for new attributes and set the appropriate attribute to designate them as text editable. Let me know if you're going to pursue this and I could point you in the right direction.

@smpfmc said:

2. Is there any way of stopping an attribute value automatically being copied to all similar objects?

If you select the new objects and do a "Make Unique" on them, this will create a ComponentDefinition that is unique to that instance, and you can edit attributes without affecting the rest.

@smpfmc said:

3. Is it possible to edit the same attribute on a selection of objects?

Yep. If you have components with attributes of exactly the same attribute names, and you select multiple components at once, the Component Options window will show you these for editing.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Viskiz,

Unfortunately we haven't yet discovered a reliable workaround for this problem.

I assume you're on the mac as well? Or are you seeing this on PC as well?

@thomthom said:

Like AJAX solutions often do?

This approach is most often used for "inter-frame" communication. If there are 2 frames in a page that are hosted on different domains, the JS in one is not allowed to access the other, but many browsers allow you to change the fragment identifier regardless of security, so it might work in this case. (There are a handful of other mechanisms people have used to get around frame-2-frame security, and any of them might work. Searching on the topic might give us a clever workaround.)

Ajax apps will often modify the fragment to maintain state in the URL, so you can still email URLs around and have your friends land on the same "page" inside an Ajax app.
