      Any plans to add Thea to the Render list? Thanks

      See 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 !

        -All groups gone 😞

        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 ?

        The layers were not in any order.

          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.

                Any progress with regard to solving the problem with the interference with the saving of scenes?

                    Bug found : When a group is moved to be nested in another group, we can't rename it. We have to restart Layers Panel.
                    Working on a fix.

                      Great plugin, I have integrated it immediately in my workflow. However I noticed following issues (bugs?):

                      1. In SU 8 it displayed the outdated IE version message and did not allow the scroll. Since ver. 0.5 it does not display this message but only shows render engines in the window and no layers or layer groups at all. In SU 2013 this problem does not exist.

                      2. Not sure whether since ver. 0.4 or 0.5 but in both SU 8 and SU 2013 Edit->Paste and Ctrl+V do not work when pasting a group/component from another SU file, Edit->Paste in place works though. Removing the plugin files from SU Plugins folder resolved the problem in both SU 8 and SU 2013. Also renaming layers in the native SU Layers window sometimes caused bugsplat with the plugin installed in SU 2013.

                      Hope that helps.

                      Thank you for your great plugin, it is so useful.

                        What's your IE version ?

                        Weird. Does it work when Layers Panel is installed but closed ?

                            Hi,
                            I was installed your plugin and it is nice how its work in new file, but with
                            my actual project I can't see layer list with your plugin.

                            Secont, will be fine that you can put a possibility to show/hide panel like old layer window, click on the top of window.

                            Here is screen capture:

                            THX
                            Daniel


                            old and new layer window

                              All the time ? With all kind of objects ? Even when LP is closed ?

                              I really don't see what could cause that... And I can't reproduce it.

                                Could you send me the file by PM ? (Even with all the content deleted, keeping only the layers) The best would be a version of the file that was never saved since LP was installed.

                                That's not possible, unfortunatly 😞

                                  Workaround suggestion, size the window and leave a small clickable header in the HTML itself.

                                        This is a marvelous idea - SketchUp has needed this sought of control of layers for a long time. BUT .....It makes my version of SketchUp (2013) very unstable to the point of being unusable. I have had to uninstall the plugin.

                                        Am I doing something wrong?

                                          Too bad it doesn't work in OSX. Looks like a good plugin. Now if it worked on a real operating system….just imagine.

                                          Dave Richards might quit looking in a mirror.

                                            Please don't come here to troll...
                                            The reason why it doesn't work on your "real" OS is because Safari handles javascript requests higgledy-piggledy. JS sends a bunch of informations to ruby, and safari says "oh well, let's just put all of this into the trash and keep only the last one".
                                            So much for a real OS.

                                            Even though I'm happy to take request, I primarily develop this plugin for myself. And I don't really like MacOS (The OS itself, Apple's politic, etc...), so I'm not really motivated to develop Layers Panel for it. Guess what? People coming here smugly, telling me that their OS is superior, and should be the one and only, don't really motivate me much more!
