[Plugin] Layer Tools (1.1.0)

thomthom

Could be useful to extend the turn-off-layer ability to groups and components too (if they're made of homogeneous sub-entities). What do you say?

That will make the tool very slow when interacting with groups/components of heavy meshes as it'd involve inspecting all related elements.

Yes...you're right... Think about some trees or cars!

Could have been useful, anyway

thomthom

Should do, yes.

I am not seeing the tool in the menus. Why does the icon appear without a blue 'book'?

Please see this Help article on how to install extensions for SketchUp:

pipingguy

all done, but still not seeing 'hide layer by pick'................sorry, I do see it. did not realize I had to re-start sketchup when using this new method of installing extensions. however, the functionality of the extension seems to be amiss. maybe it's conflicting with my layers panel extension.

Hi,
If you want more layer tools, take a look at my LayerManager extension:
