[Plugin] VisTools

Dan Rathbun

Issue #11 - Feedback needed:

The command methods show_all() and unfreeze_all() only work upon the model level entities collection.

Should these instead iterate the definitions collection, and their instances collections, in order to act upon groups and components at ANY level, top or nested ??

Dan, you're at it again

You're correct in guessing that I was daunted by your changes, I appreciate you're understanding and your time.

As you may have noticed, we've made the decision of closing down ExtendSketchUp and in turn I won't be doing any work on SketchUp plugins in the foreseeable future. Please feel free to use my code in any way you choose and I hope some of it becomes useful. Sorry to be disappearing but I don't use SketchUp much these days and don't feel I can adequately support any plugins at this time.

Cheers!

Hi ishboo, the plugin is great but unfortunately "isolate selected layers", "isolate selected entities" and "freeze" and "unfreeze" does work."Hide selected layers" and "show all layers and entities" work perfectly. I formerly used the hide tool within the SCF selector toolbar but unfortunately this toolbar is not available fro SU 2014. I work with SU 2014. Can you help?

Dan Rathbun

This has not been tested under SU2013 nor SU2014.

WHAT commands DO NOT work ????

what, I didn't know you speak korean Dan.
I don't mind helping out the language review, but I want to avoid installing another version of SketchUp in Korean

I don't. I used Google Translator and Bing Translator. I have no idea if my translations are cussing a ppl, or not.

You can load the files in a code editor.
I use Notepad++ on Windows.
The files must be saved in UTF-8 encoding.

The Vistools loader ruby in the "Plugins" folder has the descriptions in it, and the korean setting is this:
@@plugin.description = %q{VisTools:(비전 도구) 몇 가지 유용한 엔터티를 추가 하 고 표시 도구에 Sketchup 에서 레이어: 숨기기, 표시, 동결 및 해 동}

In the plugins' folder is a " VisTools_ko.rb" file with the other UI strings which looks like:

Above is the parts of the code that you have included perhaps better explains your plugin.
I have short experience in translating programs/documents. I think this would do.

The description of Vistools didn't really mean anything as the sentences were in shuffled order. I've kept the name in English as I am not sure direct translation really gives you any benefit.

Just so you know, you didn't really offend anyone

Okay, thank you Joseph. You have been entered in the halls of VisTools fame !

The patch RBZ for your Korean language strings has been posted in the OP of this thread:
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=49662%26amp;p=446865#p446865
You just install it in the normal manner, and it should overwrite the old "VisTools_ko.rb" file.

You need to restart SketchUp to load the new strings.

Thank Dan,

I prefer English in most cases, but honored to be on the halls of fame!
