Grey Out Issue is back

TIG

Doing it from within SketchUp... open the Ruby Console and type/copy:
Dir.entries(Sketchup.find_support_file('plugins')).each{|f|puts f if f=~/.rb$/; puts f if f=~/.rbs$/};puts
You'll get a list of all .rb/.rbs files that are auto-loading [sorted] from that folder.
Copy/paste that text into a .txt file and PM it to me...

If you also have other 'custom-plugins-folders' that you have plugins in defined in your your $LOAD_PATH then you need to do multiple lists - change the text in the example above -
Sketchup.find_support_file('plugins') - to be the path to the custom folder - within '' - e.g. 'C:/Users/Rich/Desktop/MyPlugins'... Make a separate txt file for each 'plugins' folder...

@Rich

The first thing I notice is that I have double the amount of plugins loading !
So what is different?

Here's what I don't have loading and you do...

You have some early loaders that I think you use to group menu items...
####camera.rb ####misc.rb ####TIG.rb **##hideEverythingElse.rb**
then there's
Add Vertex.rb addfaces.rb **ae_Console.rb ae_Snapshot.rb ae_ToolbarEditor.rb** angle_between.rb arcs.rb **as_loadsketchfab.rb as_loadsketchupnews.rb**
and then
cameraKeyMaker.rb **catmull-clark_subdivision.rb** CenterPointAll.rb cleanup.rb **Color_N_Gon.rb**
then
default_scenes.rb dimsvis.rb Double Line.rb EdgeFollowMe.rb **flightsofideas.rb** frontface.rb **GeoNuke.rb** grid.rb Groove Maker.rb **Hatchfaces.rb** **Image2Model.rb** keyframe_animation.rb **load_qpik_simple_rays.rb** Make_Components.rb **mshstick.rb** [WTF?] **normal_map_maker.rb** PolyLine.rb proxy.rb PutOnLayer_sortname.rb
and then
**RamTools_StepEx.rb** **recurve.rb** remove_inner_faces.rb rename_comp_inst.rb Re_Glue.rb ruby_console.rb scenetweak.rb selection_edge.rb **smoothStepAnim.rb** sptm.rb **susolid.rbs** **Terrain Tools.rb** **tgi3d.rbs** **Thea4SU_loader.rb** **TheaExporter_loader.rb** toggle_units_3icons.rb **Wikii_MRS.rbs** Window Settings.rb

I have not even heard of some of these
I have emboldened some of my initial suspects [with NO proof - just gut-feeling! - the .rbs ones I can't look into anyway!].

Can you try disabling some of them, restart and see if the gray-out issue continues ?
You have some 'bit-hitters' in there so I'd be interested to see what's what...

catmull-clark_subdivision.rb is my experiment of a plugin. It adds one sub-menu to Tools with three menus and a separator.

I can't read that bold text

@Box

I have six times more plugins loading that you - and no grey-out !!
So some of yours must be suspect !

Here's the differences I have spotted...
**ae_ToolbarEditor.rb** Brighter3D.rb move_to_origin.rb move_to_origin_and_center.rb multi_face_scale_offset.rb Quick Lathe.rb **recurve.rb throw_to.rb Tile Grid.rb** **ToolbarBuilderFree.rb**

You'll see that Rich has many different 'different ones'... so perhaps try disabling some of your common ones first ?
But it doesn't mean that some others may be screwing up additionally...

Box

Recurve seems to be the only one we have in common, but I've been using that for a long time.
Both Move to origins have had since I got off the ark.
The toolbar ones and offset scale have only been installed very recently and the greyout was before that.
Brighter3d, tile grid and quicklathe were about the same time.

So I have removed a bunch and will see if it happens again.
Be a shame if it is throw_to or recurve, use them both a lot.

TIG

ae_ToolbarEditor.rb ?

TIG

@Box
The problem is not insolvable - if a tool is found to be make multiple commands it is possible to fix the code to avoid it...

ae_ToolbarEditor.rb ?

I only installed that after having the greyout issues.

What are you on about? All the items are in 'ruby' bbcode with bold for those.
There's little difference... but there is some.

BUT it might have been the straw that breaks the proverbial... Maybe a few scripts are adding several extra commands, these then accumulate to the dangerous level

I have one called !ae_LaunchUp.rb that I suspect may be the cause, what is it?

Well, my eye can't see the difference

Buy some glasses...

I have only installed loaded LumenRT,Revizto, TT autosmooth, Tig splitdonut, clf components onto faces this year and prior to that I never had a grey out.

What is the plugin for Revizto called anyway, I cannot find it in plugin folder.
