Hi,
I am a fairly experienced Sketchup user, a professional data processor (but new to object oriented), and a serious chairmaker. I use sketchup to rotate things like legs, spindles etc. and a plugin would help me greatly. Where I am getting hung up to start is with the interfaces and other issues.
I see it working this way. The user must select a component to tilt, then call the plugin.
The plugin would display a dialog and/or input boxes where the user would type in a few x, y values and select other options. The plugin would check to make sure a component is selected, do some math on the x, y values, and then rotate the component. I have Scarpinos book "automatic sketchup" which is a good start, but the dialogs are a bit basic.
When I store my test plugin in the plugins directory (windows), it runs every time I start sketchup, unlike the other plugins that are stored there.
Does anyone have any advice to; 1. follow simple rules for good plugins, 2. locate some good sample dialogs, or just general ingo.
Thanks,

Stevo
