        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

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

                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 )

                      Your 3d Text Editor is out of date.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).

                            http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nswHPYi_dEw/SoWP9m4sr6I/AAAAAAAAH_4/BUtChw6LSK8/s400/P1000262.JPG

                            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

                                    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?

                                      installed using preferences > extensions

                                      downloaded vers 2.8.3 here
                                      http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=TT_Lib

                                      but it didn't work so i downloaded the previous version using the link that appeared on my screen

                                      but it's OK now;works great

                                          Dave/TT - I'm glad to hear it's already capable, but here's the embarrassing part:I can't figure out how to do it 😳 . I've updated to the most recent version, but maybe I have an older version floating around in Virtual Store or something?

                                          Thanks!

                                            Matt, I hope this doesn't embarrass you further. Try using Enter between typing the letters. 😉 I setting Align to Center. You may need to play with the leading (spacing) between the letters after you've created the text but that will depend upon the font you choose.

                                            Edit: You edited your post while I was typing. 😄 Now you've got it and if anyone asked, it was a great day because you learned something. 👍
