[Plugin] VisTools v1.3.4
-
Isolate Layer doesnt seem to work anymore in 2015. I use this plugin every day and although it is still very useful, this feature being fixed would make me a happy man!

What version did you try?
Did you have the Ruby Console open and did any error message appear ?

Again,... did you update to the latest version (v1.3.4) which you can download from post 1, page 1 of this topic ?

OK I have realized that, if people just updated from the SketchUcation Tools, the Trimble Extension Warehouse, or manually via the Extensions dialog and browsing to the downloaded RBZ archive,...
... and that they never saw the warning notice for v1.3.4, viz:

IMPORTANT!
Delete file: "**Plugins/load_Vistools.rb**"
Delete folder: "**Plugins/IntrepidBear**"
THEN.. install the new RBZ:... what happens is that the old version v1.3.3 loads after and redefines the plugin code back to this old bugged version.
I am writing a new version v1.3.5 that will have auto cleanup utility embedded in it's loader, that will deactivate the old v1.3.3 versions.
- If you installed v1.3.4 to a clean SketchUp (that never had the older version,) then you will not have load conflict where the older version overrides the newer.)

Any update or plugins similar to this. It seems that Isolate function does not work well with SU 2017~

Hi
I am using the Vis Tools plugin which is super handy to be able to isolate a selection of objects to edit them and then restore your view by hitting 'show all in context'. I would like to be able to do the same thing with the 'isolate' and 'hide tags' button, however the 'show all in context' does not restore the tag profile you had before isolating them. Am I missing something here? I cant think of a use for the isolate tags button as I have way to many tags to go through and manually turn them all back on once I no longer need the tags isolated. Is it possible to add a button to restore the previous tag setting? this would make an awesome plugin a game changer.
Thanks -

I was actually working on an update back in 2016, but never published it. I'm unsure if I ever finished the intended work on it.
This was 5 years before the addition of the Tags/Layers folder feature.
There is a newer version of this extension by another coder, but their edition did not properly namespace their code (with their own namespace module) so it will clash with mine if I publish my updates.

As said above, I've not been into the code for this extension in ~7 years. I am currently working on another layer/tag control extension that will be commercial (for a small fee.) I might fold some of the old features from this extension into the new extension. (I dislike a bunch of little extensions with "nitty" features. I prefer to bundle these various "nitty" features together into a single "themed" extension.
