[Plugin] 3D Text Editor

[Dave R]

I did click in the dialog box several times while trying to close it but maybe it still out of focus.

Here's the entire dump.

call_event(focus)
nil

hmm... I see nothing out of the ordinary there...

[Dave R]

I didn't think there was anything strange, either but you're the expert.

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.

[Dave R]

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.

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?

[TIG]

Select a piece of 3d-text > right-click > context-menu ...Edit Text

[jim smith]

Thanks TIG.

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