This feature does not work on sketchup8.0--2013

dullgirlnef

I know this is a very old post but I am wondering if anyone knows if this plugin will work in Sketchup Make 2015? I downloaded the plugin but it doesn't seem to add a toolbar in the toolbar list.

Thank so much

Stephanie

Oxer

Thanks for the plugin!!
The Tab key to change the color doesn't work on mac, is it possible fix this issue on Mac?
In the Color List window don't appear the scrollbar.

I haven't looked at the code at all [it is pretty old].
Get the latest version from the PluginStore...
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ChrisP_ColorEdge_EN
However, the know bug on using TAB on MACs [unlike PCs] is that a KeyDown event doesn't trigger, but a KeyUp does...
So for cross-platform it's always required that you use KeyUp - at least when testing for TAB presses.

In the RB file's code you could try to edit the FOUR occurrences of
def onKey**Down**(key, repeat, flags, view)
to be
def onKey**Up**(key, repeat, flags, view)

That should then work on PC and MAC...

I installed the last version 0.2.3 and I changed onKeyDown >> onKeyUp but the Tab key doesn't work

TIG

You must change EVERY KeyDown to KeyUp...
???

Oxer

I did it.

TIG

So I am now at a loss

Sorry, but I have several v2017 problems of my own to solve, let alone those of other authors who opt not to support older plugins...

Oxer

I understand you TIG, and thanks for your help!!
I'll try with older version of Sketchup.

Sorry i have no more contact with C Plassais for the moment!

I use Sketchup with my students in the technical drawing lessons and it's very useful draw the edges with different colors. Would be possible assign another different key to TAB to select the different colors on Mac?
For example in Ivy plugin the ALT and SHIFT keys work fine.

Yes. Any key that works for you will do. However, there is one other problem that I found. On two occasions, colr1 = results and color1 = results should be colr1 = results[0] and color1 = results[0]. These statements appear around line 233 and 754.

Another problem is the number of Sketchup Colors far exceeds the number the inputbox pull-down can handle. It needs to be a WebDialog if you really want all the color choices.

Thanks for the info sdmitch but I changed the lines 233 and 754 but nothing, the TAB key doesn't work

Remember nothing happens until the Tab key is released. Please check messages. I have sent a copy of the plugin I modified and tested.

I understand this is an old plugin. Maybe someone has a quick fix but if not no problem.
I am experiencing the lines being drawn outside the group or component being edited. See attached.

What happens if you mark them
Cut them to the clipboard
Open the model group and paste them back where you want them...?

boofredlay

That works just fine, which is what I did most of the day (large building with joint lines). But it is an extra step not needed if they were drawn inside the group/component.

Edit: If I had started it the other way (draw default lines in a separate group and just painted the group) I might have saved some time today. However, once down a path...

Hey Chris, I am having trouble modifying colours on mac. I am clicking TAB but the color menu doesn't open so it's on default all the time... Any suggestions?
Cheers
