[Plugin] VisTools
-
I can do some Hungarian - need to install the plugin and see what it exactly does so that I understand why the expressions are what they are.

limit=%s
I have translated the word "limit" by "limite" in French : must or not ? (I suppose yes
Not yet tested
you must rename them ...utf8_fr.hash.txt I suppose?

Looks good... Thank you.
But... we need the Plugin Description in Francais, Si vous plaît:
"Adds some useful tools within SketchUp, like Hide / Show entities and layers, Freeze / Unfreeze for components, and Show / Unfreeze all."Combination of Google & Microsoft Translators:
%(#8000BF)["Ajoute quelques outils utiles dans SketchUp, comme Cacher / Montrer des entités et des calques, Gel / Dégel pour des composants, et de Montrer / Dégeler tous."]Sound OK ??
-
Quasi perfect
"Ajoute quelques outils utiles dans SketchUp, comme Cacher / Montrer des entités et des calques, Geler / Dégeler pour des composants, et Montrer / Dégeler tous." -
OK.. thanks Pilou ... got and updated the file.
FEI (For Everyone's Information): I finally quit "fiddling" and sent Dana the "FreezeTools" ver 2.0.0 package, so he can have a first look. He'll likely put the package up on Github, until we are satisfied, that there are no major issues. Then he or I, will put the package on the EXTENDSketchup site.
Known "to do":
- Reformat and expand the Help html file.
- Tweak the "All" commands so they are correctly walking the nested groups / components, and performing their tasks the way they should.
- Make sure if possible we do not have strange behavour during Undo and Redo operations.
-
Note: Dana will be away till late next week (Thursday or so,) and will not be able to begin reviewing the new version til then.
Your patience is appreciated. -
Actually, I'll be back around the 5th of September

THE ISOLATE LAYER DOESN'T WORK. i'M RUNNING SKETCHUP 8 PRO.
Here's the ruby console errors.
C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SU_Utils/Utilities.rb:241
C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SU_Utils/Utilities.rb:45:in `call'
C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SU_Utils/Utilities.rb:45Is there a fix or version 2.0 for skecthup 8 pro?
Thanks.

First of all, the Active Layer cannot be hidden, so if you expected that, it will not happen.
Isolate Layer seems to work OK in my v2.0.0 ...
I had sent it to Dana for his approval, but he had just started a new job, and was heavily working on the ExtendSketchup plugin... so nothing has happened.
Dana.. how about if we have TIG and/or ThomThom take a look ??

If you have v1... zip downloaded from the direct link, then it doesn't contain the
begin..rescue..endprotection of the newer version that you can download manually from the site that is linked to
However, as even this could also jump out of the layer manipulation loop prematurely you can fix the tool's code thus...Edit the Utilities.rb file in the SU_Utils subfolder, using Notepad or a similar plain text editor like Notepad++...
Use its 'Find and Replace' tool to change the two lines of code that say
l.visible = false
with this
l.visible = false **unless l == @model.active_layer**
This will stop you trying to make the active layer invisible which is disallowed...
Save it and restart Sketchup.
Now the two layer tools that try to switch layers 'off' should work without errors... -
Thanks Dan/TIG for replying! You guys rock.

Ishboo,
I use this utility alot with large projects and it no longer works with sketchup 8.0.15158. Could you please check why it does not load? Was there a change in the sdk that conflicts with your ruby scrpit?
Many thanks,
David

Hi David, I will look into and get back to you. I've been working on re-writing the application recently. Will update!
-
I've finished a new release of the plugin. I've renamed it to VisTools so it's not so confusing and ambiguous.
-
So you are settling on "IntrepidBear" as your toplevel namespace and filespace, then ?
-
Hi Dana, nice clean set of Utilities.. well done and thank you on behalf of everyone who has downloaded it!!
I had a think about the Isolate Entitles: its great to be able to isolate something particularly in a large model when you want to just work on that specifically however it would is just as important to be able to revert back to the entities that were visible. The same applies to the Hide Entities tool: mostly I would think that once you've finished with the hiding what you need you'd want the option to revert back....
Just a thought
Thank you again.

Glad you like the tool!
If I understand correctly, you're asking for the ability to "unhide all" which is actually a button on the menu, so you should be able to do that already. I apologize if I'm misunderstanding what you're looking for.
-
Thanks for the reply, Dana.
I see you have an 'unhide all' botton in the toolset but what I was thinking was if I isolate selected entities I would like to then go back to what I had shown before I did so, not necessarily unhiding all. -
Hi there,
This seems to be a great tool and i would like to test it.
I try to figure out how to install "Vistools".
After downloading and unpacking the zipfile SU responses with the following Error message :no such file to load-C/Programfiles (x86)/Google/GoogleSketchup8/Plugins/IntrepidBear/Vistools/VisTools.rb
After checking the zip -file, I found that the folder "IntrepidBear" misses the subfolder "Vistools" as well as "VisTools.rb "
Where ist the problem ?
thanks for your help
Uli
