Sketchup Plugin - re-purchase?

[iamarchitecture]

If we hae bought the stand-alone plugin to exclusively use with Sketchup will we have to re-purchase the Sketchup plugin again?

The fully integrated sketchup plugin (just like the other plugins) will require both a standalone AND sketchup plugin license.
So you will only need to buy the sketchup plugin license when it comes out and use your existing standalone license.
In the meantime there is an exporter that you can use to get your scene into the standalone here

Thanks
Chris.

Thanks Chris,
I am currently using the exporter to render from Sketchup and am anxiously awaiting the release of the integrated plugin.

has the purchase price been released yet?

I think most likely when this moves to public beta it will be along the same lines as existing beta plugins (99EUR on top of the standalone).

Note this isn't an official announcement, just going off all the previous releases (and there are no indications at this stage of anything different for sketchup, but it's not decided yet).

Thanks
Chris.
