      hey Didier, can you tell me if this feature: "Move selection to current layer (digs in compos and groups)" is exactly what I am asking in this thread? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=22986

      thanks

            For the status of the toolbars to be registered (new sketchup opens with the last status (open or closed)) on Mac:

            Add these two ruby lines after their respective toolbar definition blocks in the original script:

            layertools_tb.restore

            layerconfigs_tb.restore

              Is there a tool that put the selected object in a new hidden / not hidden layer?

                        Hi Didier, love this toolset!

                        I have a request; see the attached screenshot and notes...
                        LayerPlugin-idea.png

                        Often I select components or groups to move to a new layer that is not there. 😳 Do you think you could add a line on the dialogue box to 'assign to selected' with the option of yes or no?
                        This saves time deselecting, creating a new layer, selecting the groups again [which as you know can be tedious if you've carefully selected elements to move to a layer...] then accessing the layer drop down to move to the layer.

                        Is it possible?

                        cheers

                          Hi Utiler,
                          Try the attached rbs (replace your old one) and tell me if it works OK, before I incorporate it in a new release.

                              Ooops 😳 Dropdowns were reversed...
                              Try this one instead.

                                Thanks Didier, I thought that may be the case.... 👍

                                It's almost right; see attached comments in attached and short screen video...

                                  Hi,
                                  The problem is that you cannot have (in a dialog box) dropdown lists that are not following each other, so the "NLN" field must be either on the first place or at the last place.
                                  Attached is a fix that WORKS (this time i've tested it 😳 ).
                                  Would you prefer the new layer name on top ?
                                  Regards,

                                      Another little tweak that would save time.

                                        I've added the new option you suggested (Needs to be more tested than I have).
                                        "Visible in current scene only" is now the default in the dropdown list.
                                        Regards.

                                          Hi Didier:

                                          Your layer manager toolbar is great.

                                          Is there any chance of creating a single icon "mini" toolbar for just Toggling Color by Layer on and off?

                                          Regards, John

                                            Dear Didier,

                                            Will you be undating the download in the first posting of this topic? Your new version is hard to find in amongst all the requests and comments.

                                            Kind regards,
                                            Bob
