FLORA SKETCH CAT0.14.23 — PUBLIC RELEASE
7 November2026 — Created by Architect Shamim Azad / Florafaculty.com

This unified release includes the complete current PC extension and matching
Flora Remote mobile web app. Official Trimble BEST signing protects the Ruby
extension. The outer Windows EXE is not Authenticode signed. Keep the original
download source/checksum and save/close SketchUp before installing or updating.

PRESERVED DESKTOP FEATURES
Conversation-driven model inspection/editing, model and reasoning controls,
screenshots/references, AI rendering when available on your ChatGPT account,
Gallery Renders/Docs, chat-guided measured/authored drawing PDFs, Drawing Rules,
PDF references, architect/designer/firm/project attribution, project output
folders, existing DXF and compatible AutoCAD-assisted DWG paths, mid-work
instructions, progress, sign-in/sign-out and verified restart updates.
Use your own eligible ChatGPT account. Available AI models/tools/limits vary
with that account. Flora software licensing is separate.

MOBILE REMOTE
In running Flora Settings, APP INSTALL QR opens the installable web app. It is
always available there; Windows setup does not show a phone QR. Android Chrome
and iPhone Safari installation instructions are included. This is a PWA, not an
APK or an App Store release. After installation, separately Start pairing and
scan the PRIVATE PC PAIRING QR inside the phone app. No PC connection helper.
Keep the PC awake and SketchUp/Flora running on the paired project. Pairing is
remembered until Disconnect/Remote off/Sign out; clearing storage or changing
browser/profile can require pairing again. No remote PC power-on is included.
Direct connection is tried; a permitted encrypted HTTPS relay supports blocked
internet routes. It is subject to hosting availability, licence and quota.
No speed/all-network guarantee. No old model instruction automatically replays.

Phone chat supports progress/questions and image/PDF references through the PC
pipeline, whole SketchUp viewport screenshots (longest edge up to1600px), scene/
view controls and image markup. Latest-complete-text batching removes the old
character-snapshot queue and retains long questions (60000-character bound).
Full-screen image view: one finger draws in Draw mode; two fingers zoom/pan.
Unfinished gesture ink is cancelled on second touch; lift both before drawing
again. Move mode pans with one finger. Fit, +/−, colour/pen size, Undo/Redo,
Clear/restore, local Save, draft image thumbnails and read-only preview included.
Add marked image attaches the whole image; zoom does not crop the export.
Original screenshot/model is unchanged. Write an instruction and press Send.

LICENSING
The shared72-hour desktop trial is available when trials are enabled by Flora.
Existing trials keep their expiry if new trials are switched OFF. Mobile Remote
and internet relay are separate paid-licence options controlled in admin and
defaultOFF for new/previous licences until enabled. Mobile/relay is not included
in the current desktop trial. Site and licence relay byte/request limits apply;
reaching them stops relay, retaining pairing/desktop access. Normal desktop
activation/device limits/offline leases and keys are preserved. Optional desktop
Flora Bridge integration remains an installer opt-in; installing the app alone
does not silently add a ChatGPT connector. No new ChatGPT account is created.

MEASUREMENTS AND LIMITS
Use real model geometry and explicit dimensions; review generated drawings.
Measured projected views can be uncut wireframes with all depths visible; cut
sections/hidden-line removal/curved or inferred construction details are not
promised. Chat-authored drawings require source/review; no fabricated dimensions
or joinery/services assumptions. Standalone authored DWG is not included; genuine
DWG conversion retains the installed licensed AutoCAD prerequisite. CAD line/text
annotations need not be associative DIMENSION entities. Verify scale/paper/fonts.
Reference uploads: up to4 files/20MB each; PNG/JPG/WebP/PDF, up to8 pages per PDF
and12 total reference images/pages including rules. HEIC/encrypted PDFs need
conversion. No full phone PDF reader/markup is added. Image editor:100strokes,
3000points/stroke,50undo; large previews/edited copies capped4096px AND8MP with
notice/full frame/original retained. Normal1600px model capture stays full size.
No continuous video, whole-desktop screenshot, native touch3D editing, SKP save/
autosave or cross-project automatic rebind is added by this release.

COMPATIBILITY AND VALIDATION
Targets SketchUp2022–2027 on Windows64-bit; owner host2024. Other host years,
including actual2027, are not independently certified in this release task.
Owner reports Android/mobile text and marking now working; automated synthetic
Chromium touch/E2E relay and PC installer/update fixtures are recorded in the
release verification. Physical iPhone/native picker/download/every network and
model are not guaranteed by fixture tests. No actual customer activation or
model was changed by tests. Renders and authored documents need design review.

INSTALL / UPDATE

or the official standalone installer. Keep existing Flora settings/credentials,
Gallery, pairing and project files; do not clear them as an upgrade step.
