Prefer friendly error messages and avoid exclamation marks. This is also distracting when you want to use SketchUp for anything Starts, the user may have forgotten about it when it is time to use theĮxtension. If an error message is shown only when SketchUp If the toolbars and menus are missing, it appears to the user as an installation Show a message that the extension isn’t licensed when the user tries to When an extension isn’t licensed, make sure its menus and toolbars are still inputbox (,, title ) return unless result length = result. mm label = "Length" title = "Enter Length" result = UI.
