[Plugin] 3D Text Editor

[Dave R]

Close Sketchup. Go to user/AppData/Local/SketchUp/SketchUp 2025/SketchUp and open PrivatePreferences.json. Look for "ThreeDTextDlg". What are the "x" and "y" values? Edit those to move the dialog onto the correct screen. This is what it looks like on my computer.

And here's the dialog relative to the top left corner.

Note that the user/AppData folder is normally hidden so you'll need to make hidden folders visible in File Explorer.

Did you install SketchUp 2025 correctly? That requires right clicking on the downloaded installer and selecting Run as administrator. If you didn't do that it's possible that Windows is preventing SketchUp from making suitable updates to PrivatePreferences.json. To ensure SketchUp is installed correctly, close SketchUp, find the installer in your Downloads folder, right click on it, choose Run as administrator, and when prompted, click Repair. No matter what, it won't hurt to do it.

@Dave-R Thanks!

1 Месяц назад перестал работать плагин. Кнопка плагина активна. После нажатия - ничего не происходит и не появляется окно редактирования и создания текста. Пробовал это: переустанавливал плагины и библиотеки разных версий. Во всех случаях - одинаковое поведение. Кто смог решить эту проблему?

The plugin stopped working a month ago. The plugin button is active, but nothing happens when I click it—the text editing/creation window does not appear. I have tried reinstalling plugins and libraries of various versions, but the behavior remains the same in every case. Has anyone managed to solve this problem?

@xannanov what version of SketchUp are you using? What operating system? The plugin works fine for me in SketchUp 2026 and has worked fine in all previous versions.

Maybe there's a conflicting extension? Open the Ruby Console, try running the plugin and then share the output from the Console with us.
