      I really like the plugin but have a couple of things I would like for it to do (if possible):

      1. I would like for it to remember my selections (font, size, alignment, etc.) so that I do not have to go through the selections everytime.
      2. I would like to be able to specify the color (both face and outline if possible).
      1. It already does (at least for me)
      2. +1

        I just tried again on 2 different machines and #1 does not work for me. I really wish it did. I have also emailed these items to TT.

          Hi Thom,

          When I edit a rotated 3D text object, it bounces to a new position and resets it's rotation...
          On the other hand if I have multiple instances, only the one I select to edit bounces and changes rotation, while the others maintain their position...

                    It is... but the string breaks at the % because it can't fit in the dialog.
                    The error is that the font-list is empty so the js can't work with it...
                    So something is stopping the font-list getting made... or at least 'displayed' in the dropdown...
                    Perhaps the dropdown making code is at fault - that's why the newest Lib is required as that has reused methods for that kind of thing...

                    Assuming it is...
                    In tt's code if the fonts-list that the code tries to make is 'empty' it then uses a default fonts-list anyway... So there should be fonts listed ??
                    It does seem to be making some 3d text using Arial [?]...
                    So it suggests that you have somehow mis-installed the toolset's files ?
                    Is there any Windows Explorer > Compatibility Files / VirtualStore issues ?
                    Do you have FULL Security permissions to read/write files to the Plugins folder ?

                      I wasn't thinking of the line break in the dialog box but rather the %20 instead of a space. Maybe it doesn't matter in this case.

                        Uh, seems a little complex...

                        1. I'm login as administrator, so I think I have full security permissions to read/write files to the Plugins folder.
                        2. All plugins are auto-installed in the sketchUcation store, so I think the "mis-installed" question doesn't exist.
                        3. As for the "Windows Explorer > Compatibility Files / VirtualStore issue", I have no idea 😞

                          Being logged in as administrator does not assure full permissions to the Plugins folder are granted. You need to check that and change it if permissions are not granted. Not that complex.

                            With admin powers...
                            Select the Plugins folder icon.

                            Right-click
                            Context-menu
                            Properties
                            Security
                            Edit...

                            Ensure everyone in the list has FULL permissions ticked.

                            Apply/OK

                            The permissions to subfolders within the 'Program Files' tree, of everyone - including admins - are limited by Windows by default. You simply need to reset them to FULL, otherwise you will not be able to add/change files into that folder - although you think you have !

                            Also while you are at it...
                            Select the SketchUp.exe file icon [in the same folder as the Plugins folder].
                            Right-click
                            Context-menu
                            Properties
                            Compatibility
                            Always run as administrator... should be ticked

                            Apply/OK

                            The 'Compatibility Files' issue arises if you have limited security permissions to a folder - like Plugins - and Windows [weirdly] lets you think you have installed actually the file[s] and subfolders etc, but in fact it has put them into a VirtualStore - so if you have a 'Compatibility Files...' link/button in the top bars of your Windows Explorer window for a folder like Plugins then that's a sign of you having insufficient permissions to add/change files; click on the link to see what you think was installed but is squirreled away by the OS πŸ˜’

                              Hm... I've not had time to look at this yet, but TIG's comment about the font list not being populated could be a clue. Maybe IE11 had removed the MS hack I used to get the font list...

                              The %20 instead of a space is just IE transforming the path string into a URL string. Nothing wrong there.

                                  For some reason I get error when I start the plug-in. Everything else works, but it will not load the fonts. I get a java error is in the TT Lib2 in the webdialog/base.js It says that Unable to ger property "count" of undefined or null reference. Line 115 Char 9

                                  Is anyone else experienced that, and if there a fix for it?

                                  Thanks!

                                      I'm going to guess that you have Windows 8.x? I'm getting some reports that it's not working there. I'm not sure why - it might be Windows 8.x preventing me from using the font list or it could be IE11. Either way - I've not had time to investigate in detail yet.
