[Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map

Ecuadorian

Thank you, Martin. There have been some situations when I get lost among my layers/scenes, so this will be useful.

Martin, this plug-in has now proved to be a life-saver. I now have a project with several scenes for an animation and when I added SketchyPhysics into the mix I had two options: Manually turn off the Physics Joints layer in every single scene... or do it in a couple of click with VisMap.

I think this is not working in SU8.

This plugin is very efficient if you made your layers properly.
Thank you the plugin creator

It's not working.
(worst first post ever)

function

to be more helpful - the html dialog doesn't come up when accessed from the menu, no error messages or anything

edit: upon having some other issues in SKP, I flushed my plugins folder; visMap now works- I will update again if I can narrow down which plugin caused the conflict

Martin, I get this error when trying to run VisMap 2.
The file has 44 layers and 40 scenes.

Hi Martin
Great Tool.
Would it be possible to extend VisMap 2 to include 'shadows ON/OFF'?
In large complex models it would be useful in particular to be able turn off shadows in one or more scenes without having to select, and then wait for the scene to be fully rendered with shadows before you can turn the shadows off.

I have models and animations which in the final output need shadows on, but for working and tweaking things the wait for the scene to be fully redrawn is frustrating. What do you think?

Hi, I have been using this plugin until 2014 came out. It hasn't been working for sometime. Will there be any future development?

Martin gave me the ok to update this for Sketchup 14/15. I might not have time until the weekend.

Same here!

Here is version 2.1.

Updated to work with Ruby 2 versions of SketchUp (version 14 or later.) Use the original version if you want to use Vismap2 on earlier versions of SketchUp.
Made a SketchUp Extension to allow enabling/disabling in extension managers.

I am not sure how to handle distribution. I am unable to put it in the Plugins Store under Martin's name. That would make it harder to do further updates. I could post it under my plugins, but not sure if it would cause much confusion.

git, a bit...

I clone things to my mac, mess about, then panic when it asks if I want to commit changes...
I may still even have css for this one, a 'native' os look...
