      Intriguing plugin, I tend to isolate an object when I'm working on one but occasionally I need to isolate a whole layer. This will do the trick which is great. Thank you. Though now I need to figure out shortcuts for all these tools... 😒

                Thank you! 👍 Good tools in Autocad. I missed it in SketchUp.

                    Hi Dana,

                    Thanks for the utils, they are a nice addition to SketchUp.

                    Just a note - Toolbar image sizes are 24x24 px for the large size and 16x16 px for the small size. SketchUp does a poor job of resizing your 32x32 icons on the toolbar which is why they don't look as nice as they should. Tool cursors are expected 32x32.

                    Hi

                      Hi, ishboo:
                      A few questions, perhaps naive:
                      Does this plugin disable the native hide/ unhide in sketchup, or work with it?.
                      Do you see a need to have an "unisolate" feature as is available with Autocad? Or did I miss this in your description?
                      Salute to you!

                      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                Good news... Aerilius has volunteered to proof / edit the 'de' German files.

                                UPDATE: Aerilius finshed proofing / editing the German 'de' files... great job!

                                  Thanks go to Tomot, for knocking out a first edition of the basic Polish 'pl' hash file !!

                                  UPDATE: We will need a proofreader, who's first language is polish.

                                      Version 2.x is coming .....


                                      Language translators, and proofreaders needed.

                                      I did the German (de) and Spanish (es) files, and they need proofing. (It's been 35 years since I took Spanish in high school, and I only 'dabble' in German when doing genealogy research.)

                                      The files need to be Unix line endings (EOL) and UTF-8 encoded. They are named "basic_utf8_XX.hash" and "debug_utf8_XX.hash", where XX is replaced by the lowercase language code. (ie: 'en', 'es', 'pl', 'fr', etc...)

                                      The plugin will "auto" find these files, or the user can choose a specific lang from those that are present. (In 'en' mode, the hash files are not actually loaded... as the Ruby code knows what the English strings are.)

                                      <----<<<< PM me if you'd like to do a certain Language translation, or proofread/correct the 'de' or 'es' files.

                                      If a debug hash file is not available for a certain language (but the UI strings in a basic hash file are present,) then the UI will be in that local language, and console output will be in English (if the user has turned it ON.)
                                      So... the priority is on the 'basic' hash files, in order to show the UI elements in the local language.

                                      replaceable parameters
                                      %s will be replaced by a number, like: 34
                                      '%s' will be replaced by an entity flag, like: '#<Sketchup::Face:0x624452c>'

                                      The helper file for pasting into Google Translate.. or whatever
                                      NOTE! The above file, and the hash file in the next post, will be used with ver 2.x,... they do NOT work with ver 1.0 (if that's why y'all are downloading, but not volunteering to translate.)
                                      Translator links: Google Translate : MicroSoft Translator

                                            OK.. here's the basic hash template file:

                                            The 'XX' in the name needs to be replaced with a 2 char. language code.
                                            Within the file, change the "XX" hash values to the local translation.

                                            Please use parenthesis ( ) as I have, and punctuation periods, or '...' where I have, in the translations.
                                            Also repeat the use of capitalized words, as they are in the English keys.

                                            The %s params can be moved in the translated strings, to where they are more appropriate for the particular language.

                                            basic_utf8_XX.hash.txt


                                            Here is the template file for the debug strings.

                                            The technical terms should match those in the localized editions of Sketchup.

                                            debug_utf8_XX.hash.txt
