        Jim,

        This is really a great plugin.
        I have already used it for some presentationdrawings and it works fine.
        Today I was playing with it again to define a nice match between specific colors and their grey-scale-representation and now, for the first time, I tried to go back and forth between grey-mode and color-mode and..........
        it isn't possible (my mac or my partial blindness maybe ?).
        The color mode in the pop-up menu is greyed out (so not functional) and I cann't find any 'revert color' option anywhere under my right mouse button. Neighter when selecting a group nor when going into the group and selecting seperate faces nor within the color-picker. 'Undo' doesn't do the trick either.
        Nowbody mentionned this 'problem' before, so I guess I must be overlooking something.
        Please help me look in the right direction to find my way back into color.

        By the way, I really like the fact that your plugin doesn't effect the standard face colors (back and front) so you can high-light special details in one or two vivid colors. Whatever additions you ever make to this pugin, please keep that possibility in.

        greetings,
        Ton

          a great title for a book, Ton 😄

          hope you (and Jim) will be able to solve the problem.

            Ton, thanks for the feedback.

            Can you open the Ruby Console and reproduce the issue? I would like to see if any errors are being shown in the Ruby Console.

            Hi

              Jim,

              Just a short message for now.
              Thank's, you pointed me in the right direction, the problem is solved.
              I have another larger SU project to finish first and had to solve another domestic 'grey-scale' problem at the same time.

              Will come back asap to fill you in with more details.

              greetings,
              Ton

                Thanks Jim

                As I reading this thread, I couldn't really see that I'd use this script but I now think it could be very useful!

                Jon

                    This script is absolute genius. For working drawings which you want to print out in black and white I used to have to export color jpg images and then manually convert them to grey scale in photoshop. Now it's all internal to SU. Badda Boom Badda Bing. I love it.

                        Nice ...It renders black and white in Podium but keeps the colour of the sky ( i presume ground as well)
                        It would be nice to be able to choose say one colour which could stay as colour ...
                        Thanks Jim ....

                        @dave r said:

                        Sepo, after making the model all grey, right click on a face containing the color you wish to show. Choose Revert color from the menu. 😉

                        this applies to a situation when you want to revert the color of all the faces of an element. should you wish to change the color of a single face do not choose Revert Color, just paint the face the color you want.

                              Jim and Dave here is an analogy

                              Having an idea is like lighting a match unless you do something with that lit match it will burn out.

                              Dave's idea was wonderful and credit for having the idea is well deserved. I'm just glad he had the foresight to do something with that idea IE: pass it on to you and allow the flames of a good idea to grow into a completed project.

                                  Edit: And thank you to Dave R for suggesting this script.
                                  Edit: I showed this in the Gallery forums also, not sure of the appropriate venue. This is a great script. This is a house I'm working on and the image reminds me of a night shot with a full moon (ignore the blue sky!) I like the ability to use just a little color.
