      I have just downloaded this for the 1st time. Is there a way to make it recognized existing layers in the model?

        This is really weird. Can you open this link with Internet Explorer and tell me what the popup says ? (If you don't have a popup, this may be because of an ActiveX warning at the bottom or top of the IE window)

          It should do that by default.
          Are you using Windows ?

              Hello Again - potential bug....
              I opened my work from last night this morning - a popup saying the new version was out - downloaded

              • closed layer panel (as nothing had changed) -
                -opened Layer panel again - could see there were new features - tried options, from the new pull down - nothing happened
              • tried new 'move selection to highlighted area' didn't seem to work
                -closed Su
                _open SU
              • opened layer Panel
                -All groups gone 😞
                Layers still present

              But
              'Options' and 'move selection to highlighted layer' now work as expected. and I'm supposing the rest works too

              (also when turning off render toolbar there's a big gap at the top.... suggest this render feature goes at the bottom no need to give such high status, you're going to use it for a short period while layers all the time....just a thought)

              No Big issue for me on this project as I've finished but you better see if anyone else has had a problem

              Keep up the great work - Fantastic plugin has changed my work flow tremendously
              -just thought about your 'move to selected layer' how about 'move and rename' mmmmm interesting - you might be stepping on 'rename by layer plugin' toes but maybe you could get together - they work as a great accompaniment

                updating a scene using a shortcut (in my case 'p')with Layer Panel Open now works - great stuff

                  This is a real problem πŸ˜• I'll need to add a debug mode so that users can check if groups are gone for good, or if there is just a bug displaying them. Could you send me the file ? (Even without geometry)

                  I was able to reproduce that, it seems to be a CSS problem, I'll release a fix soon.

                  Nope, Renderiza's plugin works great, no need to replicate the work πŸ˜„

                    Great ! Don't know what was causing that, but I'm glad you don't have the issue anymore.

                      Also, I see that the menu button is invisible on IE9, I'll try to fix it.

                                The groups unique IDs are still present in your file, but they are not listed by Layers Panel serialized string. Don't know why...
                                Were layers still sorted, or did they revert back to Sketchup's default sorting ?

                                Did anyone else experienced this ?

                                  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 πŸ˜‰ So if you badly want this feature, you should get in touch with him !

                                      Maybe the order they were created ? (Which is SU's default)

                                        Any thought to adding Render[in], IRender-nXt or Shaderlight to the list? This is such a great plugin! Thank you for all your work.

                                          Same case as Thea, I have to contact the developers.
