Hi,

I wanted to try out as a precaution in Sketchup 8. But can not find this plugin. Am I doing something wrong?

Is that a handle on the front, to remove the beer?

But hey, so far, so good!

Just a question. The whole thing does not make really sense when there is no way to stop starting the toolbars while starting Sketchup.
When I disabled the tools in the preferences, the toolbars in the ribbon does'nt work. If they are enabled the toolbars floating my window again ( on Mac ) so I have to enable all Toolbars manually.
Is there a way to force the Toolbars to disappear/quit at once?

thanx for your job, but still nothing is happenig at my side!!! plz help

Krisidious · 24 Oct 2010, 19:46

what seems to be the issue Majid?

thomthom · 24 Oct 2010, 20:13

Majid: it looks as though you have maximized the toolbar window - just resize to back to a fitting size.

majid · 24 Oct 2010, 21:04

almost nothing is working for me:)... cant create shapes...etc..etc..and nothing is displayed... this is the issue

Krisidious · 24 Oct 2010, 21:08

Majid,

the plugins only work if you have that particular plugin already installed. these are shortcuts to other author's plugins. so if one is not working, you should check to see that you have that plugin. there is a rtf file or readme within the zip that lists the plugins that are used by the bar.

let's see which one's you have that are not working?

Krisidious · 25 Oct 2010, 02:23

hmmm... so you have the plugins installed that you're trying to use in the ribbon and it's not working?

do you have organizer.rb running?

have you checked to see that you have the

/caleidos4d
Caleidos4D_Ribbon.rb

in the plugins folder?

Hi Caleidos4D,

Its a great plug in, thanks for share it

Just a little curiosity, will it possible to make some option to choose between portrait and landscape configuration of the ribbon? As many of us use wide screen monitor, the modeling space begin to shrink in a very wide proportion when the ribbon is active

Regards'
Iwan

thanxs mates for your kind helps .the question is that it doesn't display anything ( I mean that I have installed the plugs..etc... and also created a simple qube) ... I can't see anything...any red-green-blue axes ...etc...

Majid, I believe you Caleidos4D Ribbon is covering your Sketchup window. You have to minimize it and then resize both the Sketchup window and the Ribbon to fit on the screen together. You can put the Ribbon above the Sketchup window or below, or on a second monitor, but the ribbon does not dock within Sketchup. It is a floating web dialog that overlaps Sketchup, so some resizing is necessary for it to all fit in your monitor.

majid · 26 Oct 2010, 04:15

thanx again.... I was thinking that it will cover my sketchup screen , so that I get rid of all plugin toolbars... (as I saw a black screen on some screenshots above) . maybe it could be an option for next update ,plz . it workes fine in way you described. thanx again

For translate:
in the next version, I will translate the tooltips in English but I also accept suggestions

Well, I appreciate this because I only know English; but I was also trying to come up with a language translation strategy in order to provide translations to any language.

I think JavaScript can be used to iterate over the tooltips, and set the Text according to the tooltip id (for example.)

all I'm getting at the link is

"alterVista
La risorsa richiesta è accessibile qui
"

you have to click "qui"

I'm afraid I can't even find "La risorsa richiesta è accessibile qui so I can click on "qui"

Update
I got it by pasting in "http://caleidos.altervista.org/Download/caleidos4d_Ribbon.zip " and it automatically downloaded.
