Modlumi 0.19 is out
Download it for Windows from https://modlumi.com/download/latest/windows, or open the browser version at https://modlumi.com/app/. If you already run 0.18 on Windows, it will offer you the update.
New features
Save views as scenes and switch between them. The new Scenes panel, beside the Outliner, adds the current view as a scene and shows a scene when you click it. Rename a scene, update it to the current view or delete it there; View → Scenes lists them too. Scenes keep the camera's position, field of view and projection, are saved with the project, and every change can be undone. Thanks @ntxdave and @pilou for asking! The user guide shows how: https://modlumi.com/docs/user-guide/navigating/#scenes
Edit 3D text after placing it. Right-click 3D text and choose Edit 3D Text to change its wording, size, depth or font. Every copy updates in one undo step; Make Unique first to change only one. Rebuilding the lettering replaces edits made inside it. Text placed with an earlier version asks for its wording and size once. Thanks @pilou for the idea!
Improvements
SketchUp files open with all their scenes. Modlumi showed the view of a SketchUp file's first scene and dropped the scenes themselves. Now every scene arrives, in the order of SketchUp's scene tabs, and the Scenes panel opens. Scenes without a usable camera are skipped and listed in the import notes. The tags a scene hides aren't imported yet.
Scripts and plugins can read, add and change scenes. Model.scenes lists them, and addScene, updateScene and removeScene edit them inside an operation: https://modlumi.com/docs/guides/model-and-entities/#scenes
Set 3D text in Source Serif 4 or Source Code Pro as well as Source Sans 3. Add 3D Text and Edit 3D Text have a Font list.
Faces have one material, which both sides show. Faces had a front and a back material, and an unpainted back showed gray. Painting a face now paints both sides, and Properties shows one Material card. SketchUp faces painted only on their back keep that paint. For plugins, Face.backMaterial, Face.backUvTransform and the backMaterial option of MeshBuilder.addPolygon are gone.
Fixes
In the browser, choose texture images from your own files. New image material and Replace image opened a file dialog that couldn't reach the files on your computer. They now open the browser's file picker. Thanks @pilou for the report!
