[Plugin] 3D Text Editor
-
Works fine for me up to the latest SketchUp version...
What's the version of its RBZ - 1.3.0 is the newest...
If you have the Ruby Console open when you start the tool are there any error messages ?
Have you got the latest TT Lib installed ?
Have you cleared the Internet Explorer cache ?? It might be corrupted and affecting the dialog... -

For some reason it only shows a red cross where you click until selecting an other tool.
So the pop-up to enter or edit the 3D text doesn't show up anymore in Sketchup 2019

I am experiencing the same issue in Sketchup 2021. Even uninstalled/reinstalled it and TTlib2. It used to work but no longer does, no 3d text window appears, just some "align to face" dialogue that does nothing after clicking. After that I just get a red X on the screen.

This is what I see in SketchUp 2021.
Make sure you installed SketchUp correctly which involves right clicking on the downloaded installer and choosing Run as administrator from the context menu.
By the way, perhaps you could update your profile. Currently it says you are using SketchUp 2019 Free/Make which would be impossible anyway.

Basic 3dText is not 'editable', you need an extension like this -

@atelierpaar it works fine in SketchUp 2025 for me. As TIG implies, the 3D text needs to have been created with this extension in order to be editable. Also make sure you have the current version of TT_Lib2 installed. It is required by this extension.
This is done in SketchUp 2025.

I suspect you need to reinstall this extension [and perhaps some others?]
Extensions don't automatically 'port' over from an earlier version of SketchUp when you install a newer one -
although v2025 does have a new extension to let you do that -
but it's not 100% foolproof, and reinstalling them manually does let you do some tidying up and housekeeping, to keep your extensions 'lean-and-mean'... -
Hi, Can i add custom fonts to the list? I use a lot of specific brands fonts which are installed on my machine but i cannot see them in the drop down list?
-
@jjtakestheworld
If the font is installed it should be listed.
However, I think that only ttf fonts show
otf fonts don't... -
@TIG Ah legend. I've just converted a OTF to TTF and it's found it. Thanks
