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

function

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.

vismap-v2.1.rbz

At some point. Can you help? Do you do Bitbucket/git?

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...

Thank you for updating it! Once again, a very useful tool.

I also conform that it works fine in 2014 as well.

Thank you so much.

The download from your website does not contain the file vismap2_extension.rb
I have it and it identifies the Version as 2.1

VisMap appears in the list of extensions in SU and operates as expected with or without the file vismap2_extension.rb. I assume from this that the file is no longer needed. Correct?

Magically, if I add a # in front of vismap2_menu.rb to make it #vismap2_menu.rb, SU complains on startup, but VisMap appears at the top of the extension list!!

VisMap is on neither Extension Warehouse or SketchUcation Plugin Store. IMHO it should: it's a great tool for people with large numbers of scenes (like me).

It also does not have a toolbar icon. IMHO I think it needs one.

I vote for you to put it in the store(s) as a Tig-VisMap2.1
