[Plugin] Layers Panel 1.2.1
-
Hey guys, how about choosing what layers to render ?
Got it working with at least Vray, Kerkythea, and Maxwell suite. -

It means you could using to hide walls etc
-
It means the plugin will hide/unhide chosen layers when you hit the render button, without actually hidding/showing them. So you could have heavy vegetation layers sent to the renderer, but never activated in SU's viewport.
-
Oh? Now that sounds mighty interesting.
-
Yeah, and that's pretty simple :
- Start operation with UI disabled
- Hide/unhide chosen layers (But UI is disabled, so their visibility is not actually changed)
- Trigger render (like "VRayForSketchUp.launch_vray_render")
- Revert back layers visibility
- Commit operation
-
Totally outstanding plugin
Would it be possible to add the ability to delete a layer into the current layer?Example:
I have layer 5 chosen as the current default layer.
I want to put all the stuff in layer 8 into layer 5
I need the option to select 1. delete completely, 2. delete to layer 0, and 3. delete to current layer.
The first two exist (the red garbage can and the green garbage can)
Now I'd like a "blue" garbage can "delete to current layer"
Once again: Outstanding Plugin -
While using Ctrl-z to undelete portions of the model that I have just deleted, I get this dialog.
-
Noted bob about deleting to active layer.
Not sure about the undo problem, though. Do you get this every time ? -
BOOM !
Choose what layer to render ![screenr:t24aadah]OHcH[/screenr:t24aadah]
Works with Vray, Maxwell, Kerkythea and Indigo. I'm working with Tomasz to get Thea to support this feature.
It still needs some finishing, but the release is not far

Hallo Jiminy
Great plugin , installed the update and get the resulting screen on activation.

Can you delete everything concerning Layers Panel in your plugin folder, and reinstall it ?
Plugins/jbb_layers_panel.rb
Plugins/jbb_layers_panel -
Thanks for the quick reply,did as you suggested its up and running.

Great Plugin... (y)
waiting for Render feature to work with Thea Render -
Actually, if it works with Thea on day, it'll behave differently. You will probably have an option directly inside Thea allowing you to choose if you want to render with Layers Panel feature or not. But you won't render from within Layers Panel as you do with Vray/Maxwell/etc. This is due to the way Thea is designed. I can't trigger the render from my plugin.
I gave evrything to Tomasz to make it work, the ball is on his side now
So if you badly want this feature, you should get in touch with him ! -
Great plugin...it must absolutely replaced the layer window in the next version of sketchup..thanks a lot for this plugin
-
Jiminy great plugin and great news on Thea!
Is it possible that my layer groups have been wiped out after a purge?
Best regards,
JQL
