<h2>Overview</h2><div class="docstring">
<div class="discussion">
<p>The SketchupExtension class contains methods allowing you to create and manipulate SketchUp extensions. Extensions are Ruby scripts that can be loaded and unloaded using the Extension manager (Extensions panel of the Extension Manager dialog box). Generally you should register your ruby scripts as an extension to give SketchUp users the ability to disable it through the user interface.</p>
<p>The idea here is to take the ruby script that actually creates your functionality and place it in a folder somewhere outside of the /Plugins folder, most commonly a subdirectory like /Plugins/MyExtension. Then you create a new ruby script inside the /Plugins directory that will set up the extension entry and load your original script if the user has your extension turned on.</p>
<p>Here is an example extension loading script. For this example, the following code would be saved in /Plugins/StairTools.rb, and the actual plugin itself would live in /Plugins/StairTools/core.rb.</p>
<p>You can find two example extensions that ship with SketchUp, su_dynamiccomponents.rb and su_sandboxtools.rb, under the /Plugins/ folder.</p>
