Yes, you can. A couple things you need to know:

• By default you can activate Skalp on 2 computers per license (e.g. your personal workstation and your laptop). On these computers you can have multiple SketchUp versions (e.g. SU2016 and SU2017) using the same license. However, you can only use Skalp on one computer at the same time.
  
• If you wish to transfer your Skalp license to a third computer, you will first need to deactivate one of your previous Skalp licenses. Please use the following procedure (you will need an internet connection): from the top menu choose Extensions > Skalp > Tools > ‘Deactivate on this computer’. After doing so you can reactivate Skalp using your original license activation code. There is no limitation on how many times you can transfer your license.
  
• If you wish to use Skalp on more than two computers, or on more than one computer at the same time, you will need to purchase additional licenses.

Our servers shows that you have already installed Skalp on two different computers. Two SketchUp version on one computer count only as one computer. If  you think this is not the case, We can reset one or more of your activations. If we need to reset some activation manual from our server, you need to do the following: Send us a mail from each already activated Skalp version you use at the moment. To send this e-mail use the following function SketchUp menu > Extensions > Skalp > Help > Contact support. Click on 'Yes' when you are asked to 'add extra support information'. With this method we can see which activation you don't use and we can free up this activation.

Skalp can be installed and used on SketchUp Make also. Of course you would miss Layout, since that comes with SketchUp Pro.

No, this is not possible. Skalp uses some functionality which isn’t available in older SketchUp version, that's why Skalp needs SketchUp 2014 or higher.

No, this is not possible. You can only have one free 14-day free trial version on your computer.

Our educational program isn't online yet. The price for Students is 15$ + VAT for one year. Send us a copy of your student card and we provide you with a link to buy your Skalp Educational version.

In essence, Skalp searches and selects particular sets of faces from the model, intersects them with the section plane and looks for 'closed loops' in the results to fill. Only closed loops can get filled. Skalp will track and process your model 'context by context'. A 'context' is a Group, a Component or simply the Model itself. So, the process starts by taking your top level context: the model itself. Next, Groups and Components are taken one at a time. The resulting 'fills' will be updated and placed into one managed group in your model. While not necessary, it is good practice to try to create components and groups that are 'manifold', 'solid' objects. These objects will be processed faster and are likely to produce cleaner section results. If a selected object reports a'Volume' in the entity info dialog, this indicates it is a valid solid object. Skalp does track nested objects. That is: groups or components inside other groups or components. So organizing your model in smaller nested groups/components might help getting better section results.

If you want to save the drawing scale or the active section plane to a scene, you need to use the Skalp function ‘Save Skalp Settings to Scene’. You can find this function in the menu of the Skalp dialogbox.

If you don't want to see the Skalp section. Turn the Skalp active section plane to 'no active section plane'. You can do this by clicking the red/green slider in the Skalp dialog box or select 'no active section plane' in the listbox. If you want/need to save this situation in a scene use the function 'Save Skalp Settings to Scene' from the menu in the Skalp dialog box.

I sugest to start testing with a simple style instead of making a complex styles. You have 4 simple styles:

1. Only a default material -> everything will be sectioned with the same material.
Video Tutorial - default material

2. By object -> the objects will be sectioned with the material attached to the object
Video Tutorial - by object

3. By layer -> the object wil be sectioned with the material defined to the layer the object is on

Video Tutorial - by layer

4. By texture -> the objects will be sectioned with the same material which is painted in SketchUp on the group or component.
Video Tutorial - by texture

At first the Skalp styles look complex, but you can use them very simple or you can make them very complex if you want to do special things. But normally you adapt them once for your own way of working and you don't need to look at them anymore.

Skalp materials are optimized to be printed. Layout rasterize everything to 300 dpi (high) or 150dpi (medium) depending on the Document Setup > Paper > Rendering Resolution > Output quality setting.Even if you use vector the lines will be rasterized by you printer driver before it’s send to the printer. Only a pen plotter plots real vector information. 

Skalp materials are made at 300dpi considering the chosen scale. This means if you use a skalp material on the correct scale you get the best result your printer can print. If you zoom in on your screen this texture look jagged and blurry.

The difference between SketchUp and layout is pure a difference in rendering engine between the two programs. If you change Document Setup > Paper > Rendering Resolution > Edit quality setting to high you improve the quality on your screen to 150dpi, but it really slow down your computer! Keep in mind if you set ‘Edit quality’ to high you get 150 dpi, if you set ‘Output quality’ to high you get 300dpi. It is not really WYSIWYG.

How the color of the sectioncut line is defined is depending on your used workflow:

1. With normal use you can define the color in the SketchUp Styles.



2. When you use 'color by layer' in combination with hybrid render mode in LayOut, the color is defined by the color of the layer of the section plane. With Skalp the section planes are placed on layers called 'Sectionplane: '

 

3. When you use 'color by layer' in combination with raster render mode in LayOut, the color is defined by the SketchUp Style.

The problem is Sketchup having troubles with special characters such as 'ç' in the user profile path. They will need to fix this in a future maintenance release of SketchUp. This Sketchup problem will manifest itself on a lot of plugins from the extension warehouse also. 

Currently you can work around as follows:
- create a new user on your computer without any special characters in the name. 
- Install and use SketchUp on that users.
- After you have create the new user profile, you may change your user name back to your real name including the 'ç'. On renaming a user, Windows will NOT change the actual profile paths themselves, so everything keeps working.

I do understand this is not an elegant solution, as you end up with either 2 user accounts and having to switch back and forth. Or you end up having to move a lot of stuff over to the new profile.
For windows 7 Microsoft also explains how to change your existing user profile here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/19834.how-to-rename-a-windows-7-user-account-and-related-profile-folder.aspx

Skalp needs Internet Explorer 10 or higher. Even if you don't use Internet Explorer for browsing the web, SketchUp extensions uses Internet Explorer for  displaying dialog boxes. Update your Internet Explorer version and your problem is solved.

Converting AutoCAD pattern files to a tileable texture is something very complex to do. At this moment we can convert 75% of the pattern files to a useable texture. The bigger the pattern file, the longer it takes to create the texture.

You are allowed to activate one Skalp license on two computers. If you want to transfer to a third computer, you need to deactivate one of your Skalp installations. Your computer needs to be connected to the internet to use this procedure. From the top menu choose: Extensions > Skalp > Tools > Deactivate on this computer. After doing so you can reactivate using your original license activation code. There is no limitation on how many times you can transfer your license.

If  you get this message and Skalp is not already installed on two computers or for some reason you can’t deactivate it anymore. Please contact support@skalp4sketchup.com.

Sometimes skalp looses the connection with the section result in the drawing and doesn't remove the old result anymore. Skalp places the new result on top of the old one. You can easily fix this:

1. Turn off Skalp by clicking on the Skalp icon.

2. Select the section result.

3. If the group is locked. Right click and select unlock from the context menu.

4. delete the group.

5. repeat 2-4 until you don't see any section result anymore.

6. turn Skalp back on and the correct section will automatically be generated.

Remove the Skalp.lic file. And re-activate your Skalp version again with your license activation code.

You can find the Skalp.lice file in your plugins folder 'Skalp_Skalp'
Click your if you don't know where to find your plugin folder.

It looks like windows ipconfig has trouble finding a valid MAC address on you computer. Skalp is dependent on ipconfig reporting at least one valid MAC address. 

Could you open a windows command line (from the start menu run cmd.exe) and then type:

ipconfig /all

Or, it could be that cmd.exe refuses to run on you system. Then the following should fix the problem:

http://superuser.com/questions/503145/why-ipconfig-does-not-work-on-windows-7

This boils down to adding c:\windows\system32 to your system path so that windows can find cmd.exe again.

Or if you see a MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:E0 then the following should fix the problem:

1.    Click Start, type cmd in the “Start Search” box, right click the cmd.exe, and then click Run as Administrator.

2.    In the Command Prompt, type: netsh int isa set state disabled, and press Enter.

This problem is you aren't running the latest version of SketchUp 2014. Could you check Sketchup About > you should have version 14.1.1282 on windows or 14.1.1283 on mac or higher.

If your version is lower, please update your SketchUp 14 version to the latest maintenance release.

Please install Skalp with administrator rights.
