        UPDATE 0.5.0 published in the Sketchucation PLUGINSTORE HERE

        KNOWN ISSUE:

        RichSections created with older versions must be updated manually.
        I will work on it to fix that.

            The fileutils.rb is a standard file found in the RubyStdLib subfolder within the SketchUp Tools.
            It does not auto-load when SketchUp starts, BUT can be required thus:
            require "fileutils.rb"
            Since the path to the RubyStdLib subfolder should be auto-added to the $: the .rb should be found in that folder.
            Obviously something is failing...

            Check a few things...
            Is the RubyStdLib subfolder within the SketchUp Tools ?
            Does it contain a file named fileutils.rb ?
            If not reinstall SketchUp v2014 [latest version]...
            Is the path to RubyStdLib included in the $: ? To check that you just type $: in the Ruby Console...
            If you type require "fileutils.rb" in the Ruby Console what is the result ?

            Report back...

              UPDATE 0.5.1 published in the Sketchucation PLUGINSTORE HERE

              RichSections created with an older plugin version don't need manual update any more (bug in 0.5.0) when changing the sectionplan

                    Hi Piet,

                    I´m having some issues with this new version 0.5.1

                    When I right click on a rs to update it, I get the new dialog, and then after a second right click, I can update it. Previously, on the first right click, I was able to update the section directly.

                    The other thing is that, once the new dialog (which looks great btw, big improvement over the previous one), takes the focus, the main window can be orbited, but not zoomed in/out. This happens without notice, so that results in apparent sluggish navigation. Is there a way to switch between modal and non modal dialogs? It may be a matter of personal preference, but I like to have all these aux windows go away once they have served their purpose. This would avoid the first problem.

                    Other than that, I´ve had no issues with this new version. I´ll keep testing.

                    Thank you!

                    Santiago

                      Fileutils is used by my plugin, but it is part of the standard library since Sketchup 2014.
                      Did you reinstall Sketchup ? (Even if you have the latest)

                      Tell me....

                        About zooming : If you click on the titlebar of the Sketchup-window, the main window will have the scope, and zoom-behaviour will be normal.

                        About updating with one click: Yes my context-menu is buggy. I will work on it. But instant update is still possible if you use the update button on the panel, and then click on the sectionplan or Richsection group.

                        About non-modal or modal dialog: The idea was to use a non modal dialog to allow the creation of materials, scenes.... to use within the RichSection. If necessary i will switch back to modal, or let you the chose, but first give me last chance to try the non-model way.

                        Thanks for testing Santiago!

                            What is your SU version, what windows or mac version ?
                            It seems that 'DarkRed' (Sketchup color or material) doesn't exist on your computer.
                            What happens if you make a material 'DarkRed' before opening the RichSection panel?

                                    Hi Piet,

                                    I've been using your latest version.

                                    I'm having some issues:

                                    The main rs dialog contracts to a size smaller than it's intended one. Text overlaps, and some buttons will dissapear. This happens a lot when creating new rs, not when editing existing ones.

                                    Section name has to be changed two times, when creating rs. The first time will default to #00x. The second time, the corrresponding layer will change it's name, the section has to be renamed manually. In setttings, I have rs create 1 scene, with section hidden, and camera aligned.

                                    I have to change layer visibility so the layer with the rs group is visible. I remember doing this for different views that used the rs (perspective sections for example), but not for the main rs scene.

                                    Once the scene and rs name is changed, I have to manually delete the original layer, (#00x)

                                    Running win 10, x64

                                        ok thanks,

                                        but now I have list of all hatch materials , hoever they dont show on sections when selected 😕

                                        You will have to change the names of th materials (or make a copy with another name).

                                        Read the documentation (pdf in first post). Frome page 4:
                                        [dir=ltr:24wchjke]If the selected option for 'RichSection section material name' is 'prefix+layername, default',
                                        then the following section-materials will be asigned :
                                        If a group (or componentinstance) is in layer 'Layer1' and the prefix is '#' : Then the plugin will look for the RS material '#Layer1'. If it exist in the Model (<=> in the library), it will be assigned. If not, the RS material assigned to the cut-face will be 'default' witch means that the RS material of the Component(instance) or Group containing this nested element will be used. If no corresponding RS material can be found, the default RS material will be used.[/dir:24wchjke]

                                          Hi Piet,

                                          I've been using your latest version.

                                          I'm having some issues:

                                          The main rs dialog contracts to a size smaller than it's intended one. Text overlaps, and some buttons will dissapear. This happens a lot when creating new rs, not when editing existing ones.

                                          Section name has to be changed two times, when creating rs. The first time will default to #00x. The second time, the corrresponding layer will change it's name, the section has to be renamed manually. In setttings, I have rs create 1 scene, with section hidden, and camera aligned.

                                          I have to change layer visibility so the layer with the rs group is visible. I remember doing this for different views that used the rs (perspective sections for example), but not for the main rs scene.

                                          Once the scene and rs name is changed, I have to manually delete the original layer, (#00x)

                                          Running win 10, x64

                                          Dialog to small : Webdialogs are running on internet explorer (IE version 10? on windows 8, and not win 10?)
                                          I have IE 9 i think, i will test with IE10 to find a solution.

                                          RS name not correct after creation: behaviour of Webdialogs is not always logic : before closing the panel, you will have to leave the inputfield by selecting another control on the same panel or by using the tabulation button.

                                          RS layers are defined 'switched off in new scenes' : to use them in another scene you will have to update once the scene after creation.

                                          The programmers API can't purge layers, nor styles. Thus i can't clean up.
