[Plugin] 3D Text Editor

[JuanV.Soler]

Hi thomthom
I think this is a great plugin that you could keep improving . There is trouble when changing heights that I workaround by clicking and unclicking the extrude buttom . My question is can it be possible to update a bunch of texts to a chosen one ? Sort of Matching Properties ?

thankyou

This bug has been fixed - but only released on Extension Warehouse. I've not gotten around to update my plugins to SCF's new PluginStore. For the time being - check EW for latest versions of my scripts.

It's technically possible. But I cannot promise when/if. It's very busy at the moment.

hi thomthom,
there is something wrong when downloading TT_Lib² from Extension Warehouse , it does install but then in SketchUp it shows

[thomthom]

Perhaps you've got some files in Virtual Store? If you go to your Plugins folder - is there in Explorer a button that says "Compatibility Files"? (or similar in whatever language you might use)

[JuanV.Soler]

no , I haven´t . Nevermind , I managed to get it work again . Thanks

[thomthom]

How? What fixed it?

[JuanV.Soler]

I avoided the message of the need to install the 2.8.3 version and just closed that window .

But where is that version ?
I tend to think that it is not in the Extension Warehouse for the moment .
The one to download must be a previous one or something .
Thus the message of updating and thus that the Editable 3D Text still works the same for me .

thanks

The version is there - and it has some important fixes for 3d text editor.

You might have to remove TT_Lib2 before reinstalling. There could be some files that are in use when SU tries to update.

[JuanV.Soler]

thomthom I have done it several times to no avail .
It remains a mystery to me .

[thomthom]

Just to be sure - if you try this utility: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=48399

And use "Check Virtual Store" - what happens then?

Also, what is the output of TT::Lib::VERSION if you type it into the Ruby Console?

[thomthom]

But you still get the warning? Did you use the VirtualStore check utility?

[JuanV.Soler]

now that´s funny , it says :

so I do have installed the latest version after all

I have the virtualstore plugin installed in the folder but it does not show in Plugins SketchUp aplication so I cannot run it

[JuanV.Soler]

no more warnings no . I think that the trick was to ignore the first warning after installed
.
As I edited my latest post : I have the virtualstore plugin installed in the folder but it does not show in Plugins SketchUp aplication so I cannot run it

[thomthom]

? Really? No menu under the Plugins menu?

[JuanV.Soler]

no , no menu under the Plugins menu

[thomthom]

what happens if you type this into the ruby console: TT::Plugins::VirtualStore.check_virtualstore
?

[JuanV.Soler]

The **Text Editor**still works with the same workaround of unticking the extrude function to get the heights modified

What does TT::Plugins::Editor3dText::PLUGIN_VERSION report.

And what version of Internet Explorer do you have installed?

(Lots of questions here - but I'm baffled by what is going on here. It should be working... :s )

[JuanV.Soler]

it reports :

about Internet Explorer :

Your 3d Text Editor is out of date. It should be 1.1.3 - if you install the version from EW.
