sketchUcation

TeamEdit allows two or more users to edit a Sketchup file at the same time. Changes made to components in the model will be updated for all users when they next save their model. It makes the prospect of working on large models within a team simple and productive.

HOW IT WORKS: Team Edit saves all components in the model into a newly created folder. Team Edit saves and reloads amended components to/from this folder automatically, as they are edited by different users.

REQUIREMENTS: - Install Team Edit on all computers on which you want to edit synchronously - All computers must have the same version of Sketchup installed - tested on Mac, should work on PC (feedback appreciated!) - A shared network folder, or a sharing service such as Dropbox running on all team computers. The Sketchup file to be edited should reside in this folder.

USAGE: - make sure that the Sketchup file (the "master") is saved in a shared network folder, or a Dropbox folder. - In the menu bar, Extensions > TeamEdit > Enable TeamEdit. This operation saves all components within the model as a new skp file in a folder with the name "[YourSKPFileName]_Components". This folder will be located in the same location as the master Sketchup file. - save the model. The Sketchup file is ready for editing, and other users can open the model and start editing synchronously. - every time you save the model, changes made by other users will be reloaded, and changes made by you will be queued up to be reloaded for other users. - When opening a component, if the background turns orange, it means another user is currently editing that context. If the background turns red, it means there are changes made to the context that have not been loaded yet. By saving the model, these changes will be loaded automatically.

FEATURES: - The individual components, which are saved as external skp files, can be opened and edited independently, and Team Edit would still work. - You can use the native "save component as..." feature to save a component to where you want. Team Edit will still work (if you want it to). This feature may be buggy at the moment.

0.1.5 - Added sanitizing of filenames before save. Certain definition names with baskslashes, slashes or if they were longer than 255 characters may have experienced problems previously - Added a more robust path joining method - could solve problems in future.

0.1.4 - Didn't work on Windows path structure. Fixed

0.1.3 - Edit style options changed - TeamEdit will now warn the user if edits are being made to a component in whatever style is active. Also added colour edges option.

0.1.2 a - Fixed issue with renaming components

0.1.1 a - fixed issue with making groups a component - fixed issue with versioning of unsaved components

0.1 alpha release - first release for testing by community. Should not be used in a production environment.
