[Plugin] Add Scene Layer v1.0

Bert · 13 Apr 2011, 14:04

HI everybody

Since I use a lot of scenes and layers for my furnitures plans, it would be nice to have a command or a plugin that would create a (a hidden layer on other scenes) layer for the active scene. The name of the layer would be the same as the scene

Thank you

Hi Bert,

Jim has an "ad hidden layer" plugin
http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2007/08/add-hidden-layer.html
although you need to rename it to what you want...

Here's a scriptadd_scene_layer.rb

Based of Jim's original 'add_hidden_layer' script 2006.

Adds a layer named after the current scene's name;

with its visibilty turned 'off' for all existing & new scenes,

EXCEPT for the current scene where is is turned 'on'.

Version 1.0 20110414

Hi,

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Will this plugin be updated to be compatible with the latest sketchup? It was a really good plugin, useful.
Cheers.

What makes you think this doesn't work ?
I just tried it and it was OK.
Although it's not yet 'signed' to suit all v2016's policies, it will work just fine in its 'Unrestricted' Policy [the default Policy it starts off with].

Recasting, then signing hundreds of plugins to give the full v2016 policy-compatibility is time-consuming [as you might guess], and this one is at the bottom of a long list...

I tried it in SU2015 and I got a full list of errors in console when I loaded it... i didn't bothered to copy them and report, because I assumed it just has some obsolete methods that needs to be rewritten.
But if you say that it works fine for you, I shall double check that, to see where is it coming from.

Please copy/post the entire error message.
It may have nothing to do with this particular file, but relate to some other file's weirdness, manifesting itself elsewhere !

It works for me. Thanks. I like shortcut plugins which don't need my attention.
