Grey Out Issue is back
-
As a tool it's relatively useless because the dropdown from the native Layers toolbar does this all less clunkily... It is from 2006!
However, the tool's code does NOT seem to make multiple command entries... so I don't think it is to blame...
I've loaded it and loads more tools I don't normally use and I can't get a gray-out !Rich [and any other sufferers] can you PM me a list of your plugins .rb/.rbs in the main Plugins folder...
As .txt preferred [sorted!] so I can compare it with mine to narrow down the possible culprits... -
How did I export folder files to .txt?

I use this:
DirectoryListPrintProAnd, Rich, as you know, I get toolbars greyed out
I'll send you that info today. -
Doing it from within SketchUp... open the Ruby Console and type/copy:
Dir.entries(Sketchup.find_support_file('plugins')).each{|f|puts f if f=~/.rb$/; puts f if f=~/.rbs$/};puts
You'll get a list of all .rb/.rbs files that are auto-loading [sorted] from that folder.
Copy/paste that text into a .txt file and PM it to me...If you also have other 'custom-plugins-folders' that you have plugins in defined in your your
$LOAD_PATHthen you need to do multiple lists - change the text in the example above -
Sketchup.find_support_file('plugins')- to be the path to the custom folder - within''- e.g.'C:/Users/Rich/Desktop/MyPlugins'... Make a separate txt file for each 'plugins' folder... -
The first thing I notice is that I have double the amount of plugins loading !
So what is different?Here's what I don't have loading and you do...
You have some early loaders that I think you use to group menu items...
####camera.rb ####misc.rb ####TIG.rb **##hideEverythingElse.rb**
then there's
Add Vertex.rb addfaces.rb **ae_Console.rb ae_Snapshot.rb ae_ToolbarEditor.rb** angle_between.rb arcs.rb **as_loadsketchfab.rb as_loadsketchupnews.rb**
and then
cameraKeyMaker.rb **catmull-clark_subdivision.rb** CenterPointAll.rb cleanup.rb **Color_N_Gon.rb**
then
default_scenes.rb dimsvis.rb Double Line.rb EdgeFollowMe.rb **flightsofideas.rb** frontface.rb **GeoNuke.rb** grid.rb Groove Maker.rb **Hatchfaces.rb** **Image2Model.rb** keyframe_animation.rb **load_qpik_simple_rays.rb** Make_Components.rb **mshstick.rb** [WTF?] **normal_map_maker.rb** PolyLine.rb proxy.rb PutOnLayer_sortname.rb
and then
**RamTools_StepEx.rb** **recurve.rb** remove_inner_faces.rb rename_comp_inst.rb Re_Glue.rb ruby_console.rb scenetweak.rb selection_edge.rb **smoothStepAnim.rb** sptm.rb **susolid.rbs** **Terrain Tools.rb** **tgi3d.rbs** **Thea4SU_loader.rb** **TheaExporter_loader.rb** toggle_units_3icons.rb **Wikii_MRS.rbs** Window Settings.rbI have not even heard of some of these
I have emboldened some of my initial suspects [with NO proof - just gut-feeling! - the .rbs ones I can't look into anyway!].Can you try disabling some of them, restart and see if the gray-out issue continues ?
You have some 'bit-hitters' in there so I'd be interested to see what's what... -
catmull-clark_subdivision.rb is my experiment of a plugin. It adds one sub-menu to Tools with three menus and a separator.
-
I can't read that bold text
Change the color
-
I have six times more plugins loading that you - and no grey-out !!
So some of yours must be suspect !Here's the differences I have spotted...
**ae_ToolbarEditor.rb** Brighter3D.rb move_to_origin.rb move_to_origin_and_center.rb multi_face_scale_offset.rb Quick Lathe.rb **recurve.rb throw_to.rb Tile Grid.rb** **ToolbarBuilderFree.rb**You'll see that Rich has many different 'different ones'... so perhaps try disabling some of your common ones first ?
But it doesn't mean that some others may be screwing up additionally...
-
Recurve seems to be the only one we have in common, but I've been using that for a long time.
Both Move to origins have had since I got off the ark.
The toolbar ones and offset scale have only been installed very recently and the greyout was before that.
Brighter3d, tile grid and quicklathe were about the same time.So I have removed a bunch and will see if it happens again.
Be a shame if it is throw_to or recurve, use them both a lot. -
ae_ToolbarEditor.rb ?

@Box
The problem is not insolvable - if a tool is found to be make multiple commands it is possible to fix the code to avoid it... -

What are you on about? All the items are in 'ruby' bbcode with bold for those.
There's little difference... but there is some.

-
I have one called !ae_LaunchUp.rb that I suspect may be the cause, what is it?
-
Aerilius Shortcut Tool

Buy some glasses...

I have only installed loaded LumenRT,Revizto, TT autosmooth, Tig splitdonut, clf components onto faces this year and prior to that I never had a grey out.
What is the plugin for Revizto called anyway, I cannot find it in plugin folder.
-
If you disable those that you listed do the gray-outs stop ?
