The plugin adds a new Maxwell menu to SketchUp's Plugins menu, and also a new Maxwell toolbar, with commands which duplicate most of those found in the menu. These commands depend on which license is found; the Standalone (SA) license provides commands necessary to set up and render within SketchUp, using the Maxwell FIRE window:

The Render Suite (RS) license adds commands which are related to writing, editing, and rendering MXS files:

Rendering & Export

Command	Image Added SA	Image Added RS	Function
Render			Exports the scene to an MXS file and renders it using Maxwell Render.
Export to Studio			Exports the scene to an MXS file and opens it for editing in Maxwell Studio.
Network Render			Exports the scene to an MXS file and renders it using the Maxwell Network Rendering system.
Maxwell Fire			Opens or closes the Maxwell Fire window.
Export MXS			Exports the model to an MXS file.

...

This command starts Maxwell MXED in MXM-browsing mode. To choose an MXM file, double-click its thumbnail in the MXED view panel. When this is done, MXED will close, and the plugin will import the selected MXM file into the scene; a new SketchUp material will be created, and its Maxwell attributes will be set up to reference the chosen MXM file.

If Maxwell MXED is not installed (it is only included with a Maxwell Render Suite RS license), a standard file browser will be used instead.

...

If Maxwell MXED is not found, it is because you don't have the RS license, so the plugin will attempt to navigate to the Maxwell MXM Gallery website in your default browser. After downloading the desired MXM file, you can import it using the Browse for an MXM File command.

...

MXM files and their directories are shown as hyperlinks; clicking them will open MXM files for editing in Maxwell MXED (provided that it is installedyou have the RS version), or open their location in Windows Explorer or OSX Finder. MXM files which cannot be found are indicated as such.

...

These commands only appear in the menu, and only in the Standalone plugin.

Command	Image Added SA	Image Added RS	Function
Upgrade Info			If it is possible to upgrade the currently-installed plugin, clicking the Upgrade Info menu item will show the appropriate web page in your default browser.
