            Can you delete everything concerning Layers Panel in your plugin folder, and reinstall it ?

                  Actually, if it works with Thea on day, it'll behave differently. You will probably have an option directly inside Thea allowing you to choose if you want to render with Layers Panel feature or not. But you won't render from within Layers Panel as you do with Vray/Maxwell/etc. This is due to the way Thea is designed. I can't trigger the render from my plugin.

                  I gave evrything to Tomasz to make it work, the ball is on his side now πŸ˜‰ So if you badly want this feature, you should get in touch with him !

                      Jiminy great plugin and great news on Thea!

                      Is it possible that my layer groups have been wiped out after a purge?

                      Best regards,

                        That's not possible with a purge. But it may be something else... I have no idea what, though. Did you do anything unusual around the time the group were wiped ?

                          Hi guys !

                          After several alpha versions, here is the first working beta version of my first plugin : Layers Panel.
                          It basically replaces Sketchup's layers window. It reproduces every features of it, except layer colors (for now), and adds the ability to group layers, sort them, hide/collapse groups, etc. More features are coming (Locking layers, etc)
                          It was designed to be very similar to Photoshop's layers panel, as I use it a lot and find it very handy.

                          Warnings

                          • Some people got corrupted files using this plugin, so be carefull, backup your work, and use at your own risk !
                          • Remember it's still a beta version, so it certainly has bugs, and it may produce bugsplats.
                          • It updates the active scene (updates only layers) every time you affect a layer(Hide/show it, rename it, add/remove one). It is the only way some things can work.
                          • Although the undo/redo support was improved a lot since the alpha versions, sometimes it still messes up (rarely), which prevents you to redo some operations.
                          • By using this plugin, you agree to send completely anonymous data, used to improve it.

                          It does not work on OSX !

                          The way you sort/nest layers is simple, just grab the handle on the left of a layer/group, and drop it where you want. To choose the depth of the nesting, move the layer to the right or the left, like this :

                              I really hesitate to bring up a problem with this fantastic plugin, but, repeatably, when I try to change the name of a layer or group the change won't work. If I change the name in SU's layer tool it changes the name in both SU and in the plugin.

                              Is there any way you can add the ability to alphabetize the groups and then the layers within a group?

                                I added a potential fix for the next version.

                                Does it happen every time you try to rename these particular layers/groups ? Even after restarting Sketchup ? Do you use special characters ?
                                What are your Windows and IE versions ?

                                  Does it happen every time you try to rename these particular layers/groups ?
                                  Yes. Any layer or group.

                                  Even after restarting Sketchup ?
                                  Yes

                                  Do you use special characters ?
                                  No

                                  What are your Windows and IE versions ?
                                  Win 7
                                  IE 10

                                  Of possible significance: These are models that already had many layers, but the inability to change the names happens on both "old" layers and new.

                                  I added a potential fix for the next version.
                                  Is this in reference to alphabetizing?

                                    Does it happen to one (or several) particular layer/group while all the other layers in the file can be renamed fine ?

                                        Yes it should work fine on WinXP with IE8. Avoid IE6-7, though.
