> I take your point. I have always assumed that the EW is a bit like the Apple App Store in that it is a guarantee that the extension is safe and works. But maybe even the App Store doe not provide the guarantee of kosherness (does that word exist? - Ed) I assume? I have further assumed that extensions on Sketchucation could be a bit dodgier. I think it must be quite confusing for newbies to be presented with two completely separate platforms for these things. I am sure there is a good reason…

The main reason why the iPad version has no extensions is that this is prohibited by the Apple store’s policy.

If SketchUp would apply those kind of rules on the extension part, there wouldn’t be so much extensions, I guess…

Tekla introduced their extension warehouse back in 2010 or 2011 and started to implement the useful ones in the core each upgrade.  
Different pricing than SketchUp, though.
