      Well I am confused. Which is not surprising. So how is this 3D Text Editor any different than the native 3D Text Editor?

        You can edit the text later on.

          Thanks for this tool, ThomThom:
          I can recall quite a few times where I wished the 3dText was editable.

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

            And the text is already displayed while the editor is open so you can change the font and dimensions and see how it looks before finalizing it.

                        hmm... could be Unicode issues. Could you send me the translated version?

                              ThomThom,
                              Great plugin.
                              Any chance you could make the text follow a predefined path or arch?
                              Since your plugin works with installed system fonts, would it be difficult to add other typographical controls such as kerning or line spacing?

                                I just had a request from a colleague yesterday about this. Might do a separate plugin to fit sets of meshes to a path. But no promises.

                                Nope. Not unless they add these features in the SketchUp Ruby API. At the moment all that I can adjust is in that dialogue.

                                  Thom,

                                  thanks for this plug in.

                                  I like the way I can change text styles, and sizes. However, once I hit close, if I want to edit further, I can't...... Am I missing something?

                                      Thanks TIG.

                                      I missed seeing the "edit text" line down on the bottom of my long list of context selection items.

                                        there's nothing in combo-box, height parameter is down.

                                          Are you doubly sure that this Lib is 'latest' and properly installed ?

                                          What can you do after closing that error-message ?

                                            Try these possible solutions - in order.

                                            #1: Check that you don't have an old version of TT_Lib in the VirtualStore: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=48399

                                            #2: Manually reinstall TT_Lib - by closing all SketchUp windows and removing the TT_Lib2 lib files before reinstalling.

                                            (BTW: What is your Internet Explorer version? )

                                            (P.S. The latest version of TT_Lib is 2.8.2 - currently only available on the Extension Warehouse. Ditto for an updated version of 3D Text Editor - though the very latest revision is still in moderation. I'm still in the process in updating my plugins to comply with the EW requirements - and I'm currently awaiting some changes to the SCF PluginStore before I start updating my plugin threads here.)
