[Plugin] Layer Tools (1.1.0)
-
You must be some kind of mind-reader Thom!
Excellent tool, as always! You're so generous..I noticed a little thing: the layer taken into cosideration is only the one which contains directly the faces of the objects. It means that if you have 6 faces making up a glass box on "layer0" and a group holding them together on layer "glass", if you click on the group nothing happens, at least for me.
Could be useful to extend the turn-off-layer ability to groups and components too (if they're made of homogeneous sub-entities). What do you say?

That will make the tool very slow when interacting with groups/components of heavy meshes as it'd involve inspecting all related elements.

Yes...you're right... Think about some trees or cars!
Could have been useful, anyway

-
This is very handy...thank you for posting!

does this work with 2015?
-
Should do, yes.

I am not seeing the tool in the menus. Why does the icon appear without a blue 'book'?

Please see this Help article on how to install extensions for SketchUp:

all done, but still not seeing 'hide layer by pick'................sorry, I do see it. did not realize I had to re-start sketchup when using this new method of installing extensions. however, the functionality of the extension seems to be amiss. maybe it's conflicting with my layers panel extension.
-
Not working in 2016.
-
THANKS!
-
This is really simple to use yet great extension. Sketch up should include this as a feature.
Thom you are really doing great. Your extensions are free and saved my life many times.Thanks is not the word can explain my gratitude but THANKS.
