[Plugin] ChrisP_ColorEdge

[brookefox]

I am late to this party, as well, but so glad to be here.

Thank you so much, Christophe, for your generosity and delicious plugin.

[brookefox]

I wish:

1. it worked on groups as groups
2. settings were remembered
3. setting units respected those active in SU
4. it worked on circles, arcs

Please see the image, which I hope explains my comments better.

In this case I'm really just looking for a consistent appearance for the perimeter edges.

Hi Chris, would you help me please? I colored some edges on my model, but now i want it all to go back to default.. How do i do it? Thanks

[AlainBo]

Very usefull, thanks for this plugin.

It seems there is a problem when we don't select any edge. It asks if we want to apply the color to all entities but it that case, I got nothing !?!
It would be nice if it would keep the last selected color instead of having to choose it in the list.

Regards,
Alain

It is only under Menu ...VIEW __TOOLBARS ^`...Color Edge

[guanjin]

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

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

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...

[Oxer]

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.
