            Hey didier, first of all great work! it really saves me alot of time.

            I have many groups within groups within groups in a model I'm working on, is there a way to move a selection to current layer that digs into groups/subgroups and moves every line/face along with it?

            this would save me a whole lot of tedious work.

            thanks again for the freeware.

              No... 😳 But you may take a look at TIG's defaults2layers.rb recently published. It can help you a bit.

                            Curious problem on my Macs (work and home): The Layer Manager toolbar does not appear automatically. Each time I open SU7 I have to go to View/Tool Palettes and click on Layer Manager. Sort of a nuisance, but Layer Manager is a major player for me in SU.

                            Is this normal or do I have a problem? ❓

                                can someone post a screenshot or two of this layer manager. i'd like to see it before i decide whether to rearrange my toolbars.

                                  Layer Manager is one of my top-usage plug-ins: especially the "all layers invisible except current" (the one with the red dot) and "all layers visible" (the one with the green dot).
                                  Didier has just released a new version that "remembers" the state of the toolbar so you don't have to keep opening it.

                                  Very useful (at least for me).

                                      Workaround:
                                      Open the main rb file with a texte editor,
                                      go to line 160
                                      type: layers_tb.show
                                      save the rb file

                                      the end of file must look like:

                                      layers_tb.add_item(cmd10)
                                      layers_tb.show
                                      # End of load
                                      $layer_manager_menu_loaded = true
                                      end
                                      file_loaded("fr_layer_manager_extension_v6.rb")
                                      

                                      restart SU, you're done.

                                        Ok, workaround works fine on my Mac.! πŸ˜„

                                        Now is there also one for the Main toolbar on top? Icons do not stick there either. πŸ˜›

                                        merci beaucoup.

                                        updt: I tried to find one plugin that would do it to see how it was done. But it seems like it's a real problem since not one of my plugins can keep its icons up there. Be it LightUP, Subd&Smooth, JPP, Tools-on-Surface or BezierSpline. ❓ ❓

                                            Hi,
                                            Below is a preview of next release, still at beta:
                                            lm_tb.jpg
                                            I have split the script in 2 toolbars: 1 for the tools, 1 for the layers configs.

                                            Features of toolbar 1:
                                            Set layer of clicked object current
                                            Set layer of clicked object current and isolated
                                            Set layer of clicked object invisible
                                            All layers visible
                                            All layers invisible (except current)
                                            Toggle visibility of all layers
                                            Select/Deselect layer content
                                            Move selection to current layer (digs in compos and groups)
                                            Set layers of selection isolated (digs in compos and groups)
                                            Set layers of selection invisible (digs in compos and groups)
                                            Show layers by filter (add to visible layers)
                                            Isolate layers by filter (digs in compos and groups)
                                            Hide layers by filter (digs in compos and groups)
                                            Toggle display color by layer
                                            Match layer property of clicked object
                                            Create layer and control behavior
                                            Delete layer (digs in compos and groups)
                                            Lock layer
                                            Unlock layer

                                            The other toolbar should have the same features than the previous release had, more or less.
                                            Regards,
