Authoring Live Components

I was alerted to this post from a more recent thread (Internal Residential Door issues).

Is anyone who is not part of the Sketchup Team, and who is reading this, likely to be involved in this “testing and authoring” process?

The OP is dated November last year. In May, @Bryceosaurus advised that the process would not even begin until the end of 2021. I imagine that development “in the field” like this is probably a long haul affair. In short, don’t hold your breath!

It’s begging the question, but it seems odd that Trimble should want to devote so much effort to developing something that is only ever likely to have niche appeal, and after the rather underwhelming previous attempt at parametrics with DCs. It’s ungenerous to call it flogging a dead horse, but if this forum is representative of the concerns of users worldwide, there are surely many other things they wish Trimble would pour development resources into. The elephant in the room has already been mentioned…
