i have Sketchup 2017 pro and i can not seam to get this plugin to even show up let alone work. i'm very interested in this. can you shed some light on what to do?

This is what I see in SketchUp 2021.

Make sure you installed SketchUp correctly which involves right clicking on the downloaded installer and choosing Run as administrator from the context menu.

By the way, perhaps you could update your profile. Currently it says you are using SketchUp 2019 Free/Make which would be impossible anyway.

Awww I missed it

Perhaps you need to contact the author of Deep Select and see if there's an update for it. I don't use it so can't comment.

Does this plugin work in 2021 versions of SU...
Coudl just install and try it I guess

Uau, muito boa essa ferramenta, meus parabéns amigo. Obrigado por compartilhar. 😄 👊 👊

This is a great tool! is there anyway the information saved to a component be retained when saving out to a component library? I have loads of technical components that my team use to build with and if would be great if the GOSU info was there when a component was pulled in?

Hi there !
First of all thanks for making plugins.
Which version of SU is needed to run the plugin ?
Doesn't seem to work on SU Make 2015.

Cheers

Hello,
After years of using this plugin flawlessly, today I have a problem with it. It works perfectly fine with SU 2021, but in SU 2020 it just disappeared from my Tools menu. I was doing some plugin cleanup and I disabled and threw away some of them, but PickIt is installed and enabled, and I don't think it has any dependencies that I could have carelessly removed. I tried reinstalling it, but it didn't help. I also cannot find PickIt on the Shortcuts (Preferences) list.
What could have gone wrong?

I tried selecting and deselecting stuff inside and outside groups, but it doesn't change anything either.

I have installed the new version (from extension warehouse )

on my windows 10 , the WebDialog is not displaying correctly .
because the internal browser ( IE ) renders the wab page in legacy mode.
by adding this line to the head , It will be corrected .

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

the extention generates the html code by an RBE file which I can't modify and change .
consider adding that line to the head section of compoHtml.rbe .

thank you

"If your first click on the "Front Face mode" and then (whatever reason) you directly click on the "Greyscale mode", you will lose irremediably your colored model. Impossible to come back, so at this moment, pay attention to not save your model after changed the mode folowing this sequence !"

Thanks Bik for pointing this out, it happened to me. So here is the work around.

Probably you have saved some preset views and perspectives during the design that you want to preserve.
First, Save the model.

Then "Save As (model name)BW.skp.
In the BW (black & white clone model) make the whole model a component.
Then you can apply the Greyscale plugin, with your original donor model secure in the original coloured textures.
When the original is further developed, Save that and open your BW clone, right click on the model (which we made a component, remember) and select "Reload" and choose your original donor model.
Or you could delete your clone component in the BW drawing, Copy the original donor from its file, and "Edit/Paste in Place" it in your BW drawing.
I hope that helps.

the recursion commented out is what makes it work incorrectly. however, it seems like you want to perhaps identify the group or component tag at the parent level as to where the recursion on the child parts go? otherwise, you would need to open the top level group and apply each group or component separately. on the former - that's probably some coding to identify if the parent tag is something other than layer0 and use that tag to then recursively tag all children objects.
there is a downside to that, because now all the children will be assigned tags which means to move the group or component all the recursion will have to happen again, versus having built the object(s) in layer0 and applying the tag to the parent (in which case the children will be shown or hidden when that tag is checked or unchecked).

Good enough. If it's a simple thing like this and can be handled in a couple of clicks with native tools I usually don't bother using an extension but there's often more than one way to accomplish things in SketchUp.

A big thanks

There are already more answers in the other forum, it probably makes little sense to continue the search for the cause in two places!?

You can also try some good book to learn ruby. Here is my book suggestions

Reginning Ruby by Peter Cooper - Best beginner friendly book to learn ruby.

Progrmming Ruby - Another beginner friedly book

Ok, I'll try this.
And how long does the trial period last?

Hello,

Did you activate your license file, that you will have received upon purchasing?

If you have, in order for a pin to be movable, it must be a top level object (must not have any parent groups).
