[Plugin] 3D Text Editor

[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 :

now those are all my credentials

[thomthom]

Your 3d Text Editor is out of date.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

Hi Thomthom, thanks again for an awesome plugin. I have an idea for a feature that some might find useful if they're doing visualization work - vertically stacked text (like the following, perhaps).

Any way, just a thought! Thanks for creating so many awesome tools, it's inspiring. I'm slowly learning code, and it's great to see what you've written.

Thanks!

Matt

FWIW, you can already make vertically stacked text. It would be nice to be able to control things like leading and kerning, though.

i downloaded and installed you plugin an TT_Lib_v2.8.3.rbz

but then, when sketchup was launched, a message said i have to download TT_Lib2-2.8.0.rbz

so i uninstalled TT_Lib_v2.8.3.rbz and installed TT_Lib2-2.8.0.rbz

and then it worked

you did a great job

you managed to make a multilines editor...

would it be possible to ...?

have the 3d text in a red/blue plan, instead of red/green?

i would like to use your plugin to add comments to a scene, one comment per scene; usually, the camera is oriented so that vertical objects appear vertical

So, it would be easier to read if the text was in the red/blue plan.

no, i just realised that you can change the plan by writing on a face of the model; so to write vertically, you just have to find a vertical face in the model

Whaaat?
You shouldn't need to downgrade. Are you on Windows by any chance?
Maybe you ended up with some files in VirtualStore...
How did you install it?

[tt_su]

That is strange. I need to look into that.
