I test a sample project "skptoxml " ,but it seems no working.it is this project below:
and how can we delelop a plugin which create a button in SU by C++?
The SU SDK is for standalone apps that read/write SketchUp model files. It is not meant to create plugins or extensions.
FYI, The C++ SDK is deprecated.
They are working on a C SDK as a replacement.
The c++ SDK is deprecated? Should there not be a replacement before this happens? What should people do that wish to develop a Sketchup 2016 exporter?
Sorry if this is explained at: SketchUp Developer SDK | SketchUp Extension Warehouse the site is in “maintenance” at the moment.
How much will this new c api differ? Will it require a plugin rewrite?
Yes, for like near 3 years now.
(There has been a “deprecated” folder in the SDK package since the 2014 release.)
The C API SDK is the replacement. (But is a work in progress, although it is near parity, I think.)
Read the “migration_guide.html” file in the root folder of the SDK package.
And all documentation after each release for that matter. (As a developer, it is your responsibility to keep up with the state of things.)
Thanks for the information, the site is back up. I will read the migration_guide when I get a developer account.
