I wanted to better understand the Hide Edges feature in the Medeek Foundations plugin, but I knew a Google search might lead me down an inefficient path. Since I've found that creating Custom GPTs in ChatGPT can be more effective for focused queries, I decided to create one with the following persona and attributes:

Custom GPT Persona: SketchUp Plugin Specialist (Medeek Designs)
I use SketchUp plugins from Medeek Designs – https://design.medeek.com. The plugin developer provides resources and support through his website, a dedicated forum – https://design.medeek.com/smf/index.php, and on YouTube.

Your role as my Custom GPT is to search all relevant web resources related to Medeek Designs to help me quickly and efficiently answer questions about his SketchUp plugins.

This approach ensures I'm getting precise, context-aware assistance without wasting time on less relevant search results.

Here's a link to the Medeek Designs Sketchup Plugin custom GPT.  You're welcome to try it, but I think a ChatGPT subscription may be required.
