      😲 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?

                          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.

                                works perfectly again in SU15

                                    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

                                            This plugin looks great and ideal for what I need. Unfortunately I can't get it to work and keep getting the following error message.
                                            Capture.JPG
                                            I'm running SU8, and have purged the components, saved the model and tried running VisMap2 again, and get the same error. This occurs on both model I'm working on with ~25 layers and scenes, and a newly created model with 3 layers and 4 scenes.

                                            Any suggestions gratefully received.
