I was reading this post:
and figured ‘How hard can it be?’ to develop an extension for it. I was also curious as of how the process of developing an extension in the SketchUp world and making it public works.
Used some AI-magic and got a resulting script(s) which I submitted for review and behold, got approved:
This was version 1, It automated the printing of each page separately with a set prefix in the same folder of the LayOut document.
It didn’t take long for the first feedback, (select a different prefix, select a destination folder) So I needed some (html) dialog and end up with version 2.0
Currently, only version 1 is published but I did create a version 2, still only .rbz which I am trying to submit for review, but it fails somehow.
Therefore, the current pictures in the Extension Warehouse do not comply.
So here is version 2:
mw_layout_document_printer.rbz (18,4 KB)
(you can install it via the extension manager)
I noticed that it fails for some pagenames (namely pagenames containing character like ‘:’,‘/’ etc, so I think I need to have some control over that part.
Created this topic to gather some more feedback.
