      I have a problem :

      • when adding keyshortcut to LayerPanel tool palet it adds shortcut to SketchucationPluginStore tool palet this same shortcut
      • and as result to use of shortcut, command opens SketchucationPluginStore tool palet!

      Weird, it works fine for me on windows. Can another mac user confirm this?
      What happens if you disable SCtools?

        New version 1.0.6 !

        Changelog :

        • Improved "add layer" menu (Hold-down the add layer button), based on Jim's great "Add layer" plugin
        • Fixed "Win32api" error when opening a file from a different drive than sketchup's. (Thanks to Dan Rathbun and TIG)
        • Fixed layer colors vanishing when switching scenes

        Download in the plugin store !


        Credit goes to Jim for the original "Add layer" UI idea : http://sketchucation.com/plugin/832-jf_add_layer
        Thanks to him for allowing me to embed it in Layers Panel

          Seems like you un-published it because it does not show up in the Plugin Store.

            With the new authors' area once you start editing your entry it becomes 'unpublished'.
            After updating anything you must click the big button near the top to [re]publish it...
            Go back in and do that, and it should reappear in the listings again...

              Uh, I did, but I guess I modified something else afterward.
              It should be fine now.

                I am assuming what you really want is a shortcut to the layers panel itself and not the toolbar(Palette) icon.

                Within SU shortcuts you can open layer panel window in Window menu but it won't toggle.

                The most functional setup is in System Preferences as you can toggle window with shortcut. You do need to restart after setting or else merely toggles icon.

                  Whow, this is weird. Does this happen in the same file that was previously causing you issues? Do you know how to reproduce this?

                  It happened in the same file, I don't know how to reproduce it but it happened more than once. I will work on that same file this week so I'll let you know if anything strange happens.

                  Thanks again and best regards,

                    Not sure if this is an intended function or not, but I accidently discovered today that holding down 'control' and scrolling causes the whole menu system to resize...that was unexpected, and very helpful. I can double the number of layers visible on the screen. Has this functionality always been there?

                      Okay, nevermind. Did some looking, and apparently I've been living in the dark ages regarding control + mouse scroll functionality for about a zillion things. 😳

                        2 issues on Mac

                        sorry I don't know if these issues been posted before ...

                        1. the panel won't remember its on-screen location
                          everytime i drag the panel to somewhere other to another position, most of the time the 2nd screen, after I close the panel and open it again, it will return to its original position.
                          this also happens when SketchUp restarts.

                        2. color picker does not work.

                          Hello,

                          this looks great but I'm not sure if it is compatible for a Mac, it looks like people have tried it, but it does state on the download page that it is for Windows. Will it cause me any problems if I try it? have any Mac users tried it, any ideas gratefully received.

                          Thanks.

                            It is OSX compatible, though some minor bugs remain. You should try it.

                            Where do you see it being windows only?

                              Hi Jiminy,

                              thanks for your speedy response, whilst looking for where it said it was for "windows", I realise I was being very dim!! I saw usage window layers panel and my brain made it mean usage for Windows!

                              I'll give it a try, it looks great. I'll let you know if I have any problems. All the best, Sally

                                New version 1.1.0 !

                                Introducing layer states :
                                [screenr:2lwo1pas]PWgN[/screenr:2lwo1pas]

                                It works like Photoshop's "layer comps". I didn't keep the "comp" name, as in Sketchup it usually means "components".


                                Changelog :

                                • Added layer "states" (with new dialog). States allows to save snapshots of the current layers visibility, and restore them later.
                                • Fixed several bugs

                                Download in the plugin store !

                                  Hi

                                  Have just downloaded the new version of Layers Panel (1.1.0) and I'm getting an error message when I try to create a new group or layer. Error message attached.

                                  Also, I'm having trouble saving layer states. When I save and close a model, all the layer states come up empty again when I reopen it.

                                  Once again, thanks for the great plugin...despite being a work in progress, it's already made it to the top of my list of most used plugins.

                                  Keep up the awesome work!

                                  Cheers
                                  Joel

                                    Does it happen in every file? Even a brand new one?

                                          With your plugin, Sketchup 8 Pro (32 bits Windows 7) doesn't start correctly and a bug splat was produced.
                                          If i remove your plugin, all is OK... and sketchup starts correctly !
                                          Best regards
