      hi

      I just wondered if you had ever seen this, it has some nice ideas, to take forward

      http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=162487#p162487

      I did some work on the mac version, but Chris and Jim had already done the tricky bits...

        Hey guys !

        I finally got a working version (See first post for download). It saves sorting/nesting (Except group hiding/collapsing)
        I still wouldn't recommand using it in production though, as it may produce bugsplats, and it still behave strangely with the undo stack.

        There are still a lot of bugs, so I need you guys to help me track them and getting methods to reproduce them.
        I updated the first post with what's working and what's not.

        I don't think it works on mac, though I'm not able to test...
        For now, I tested only on win7 SU2013 IE8-10, with no bugsplats so far.

        Feedback (about bugs or features) would be highly appriciated ! 😄

        Thanks

          Once I hide a Layer I can't unhide it unless I nest it in a Layer Group

          Win8

          Great tool 👍

              Weird, it works for me on win8 with SU2013 and IE10.
              Which versions of SU and IE are you using ?

                  It works for me on win8 with SU8 and IE10. Do you have the same problem with a new file ?
                  If so, can you zip and upload your plugins folder ?

                    Bit more info...

                    I've a starting template that loads with a layer other than layer 0.

                    If I toggle off visibility of this layer I can't toggle it back on.

                    If I drag the layer it then reappears...

                      Great, thanks for the video and infos. I think I see where the bug comes from. I'll try to reproduce this and fix it, and I'll let you know.

                        I am very happy to see your new version which can effectively work,thaks a lot !
                        and It still has some bug:
                        1、When you installed this plugin,Every time when you start SketchUp, Ruby console will automatically appear
                        2、When you rename a layer group, cannot immediately see the changes the results,You must refresh the layers panel to see it.
                        3、When you open or refresh the layers panel again,layer group is automatically displayed the layers inside it.
                        I'm sorry, my English is not very good, I hope you can understand what I mean
                        And I want to see the full version
                        thanks for your work !

                          Don't ever give up on this: it is an absolute Winner and should be native to SU.
                          Thank you Rich, TT and the rest of you Ruby gurus for helping him 👍

                              So far so good for me... look forward to locking and then I'm golden. Great Work.

                                Well, even though locking is on my todo list, my top priority is to get everything working smoothly as is.

                                • A clean undo stack
                                • Saving group hiding
                                • Fix a nasty bug with 3 levels of nested groups
                                • Fix bugs with layers being sorted inside/outside of hidden groups
                                • etc...

                                    I'm sorry but I don't have a Mac, I have no way to test the plugin on this OS.

                                      Mine read existing layers on PC just fine. And I could drag and drop existing layers into groups too. 😍
