Need help creating a login plugin for sketchup

[DanRathbun]

To start …

You will need to use a SketchupExtension registrar script and follow the Technical Details section for packaging a SketchUp extension …

• Extension Development Best Practices

I posted an example extension registrar script here …

• .rbz from .rb - #3 by DanRathbun

And sign your extension …

• Extension Signing and Encryption

  • SketchUp Developer Extension Signing Portal

---

You will also need to download the SketchUp C SDK.

• SketchUp Developer SDK | SketchUp Extension Warehouse
  You may be required to first register as a SketchUp Developer before downloading.

  • SketchUp Developer Application

The SDK includes the docs, but they are also online here:

• SketchUp C API: SketchUp C API
  Be sure to fully read the main page.

These repositories can help show how a C/C++ extension can be written for SketchUp …

• GitHub - SketchUp Ruby C extension examples

• GitHub - Examples demonstrating how to use the SketchUp Live C API

The Ruby interpretive programming language is implemented in C, so you can call Core Ruby and SketchUp Ruby API methods from C.
