-
-
New version 0.10.1 beta !
Changelog :
- Fixed options dialog on OSX
- Added Command key for shortcuts on OSX
- Fixed naming issue with Google Earth terrain
-
Ok so none of the options are working. This is weird.
Would you be ok with me getting in touch with you by PM, so you can test some things?@kct3937 said:
In the attached video, I see two extra panels. If I am supposed to be seeing both or either of them…I do not I see only one panel.
Layers Panel is only one panel. In the video, there is the layers toolbar, and then the Vray progress window and main render window.
EDIT : Nevermind, I fixed it

hi jbb,
it is working on mac os 10.8.5 now.
almost all the features work, except the render one. I understand the kettle icons are for one to disable scenes as far as rendering goes. however, nothing happens when I hover the cursor over the kettle icons: there is no indication that I can click on them, as all the others do.
when clicking on the podium icon I got a message that it was not installed but the rendering process started anyway although id did not go through to the end.
I am sure you will fix those little glitches soon. Layers Panel is already an important part of my workflow. thanks.
best regards.

You mean there is no "hand" icon?
What happens if you click anyway? -

two more issues: Layers Panel does not keep the layers in the order I set them originally. why is that? the other is that it does not pick up all my original layers. see the attached image: layers AUX-Pergola and AUX-Pergola 2 are nowhere to be seen, and layer AUX-Pergola 3 is way down below the others with the AUX prefix.
thanks.
-
When first opened, Layers Panel sorts the layers in the order they were created. There is no way to recover the order of the layers window.
As for the missing layers, could you send me the file by PM? (Even with all the geometry deleted if you're not comfortable with that)
-
no problem. I will send you the file right away.
-
Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

LP has a nice feature that allows one to decide whether it opens when Sketchup starts or not. now, could you include something to tell it to open the main dialog at the same spot it was when Sketchup closed for the last time? right now it opens always on the same place of the screen.
-
Oh? On Windows it remembers the position. Anyone else has the same issue?
-
New version 0.10.2 beta !
Changelog :
- Better management of multiple models opened on OSX (You need to pan/orbit/zoom to trigger the change)
- Added debug dialog
- Fixed bug at startup
Download in the plugin store !
-
this keeps getting better and better.
i had an idea from a screen a few posts up. how about layer colors? and then on top of that, 'auto-color sub-group' this would be a great way to quickly locate layers when you are dealing with quite a few.
thanks for the great plug -
Unfortunatly, there is no way to retreive or set the layer colors in the current versions of Sketchup. Let's hope Trimble adds it to the API in future versions!
Can you explain a bit more your 'auto-color sub-group' idea?
-
New version 1.0.0 !
This is the first "stable" version. The plugin is now out of beta, as all features are now present, and it's running fine on OSX.
Changelog :
- Added layer colors for SketchUp 2014 (Right-click on a color to change it)
- Fixed issue with undo operations

It was hard not to tell you this was coming.
The feature was ready and just waiting for SU2014 to officialy come out.
Hope you guy will like it. Now Layers Panel has all the features of Su's default layers window.
-
awesome! thanks jiminy-billy-bob
by "auto-color groups" The idea was that layers could inherit the color of their group folder- this may cause problems with nested folders however -
jbb,
I am still experiencing some difficulties on mac: there is always a missing layer comparing to what the native panel shows. until all the layers appear in your Layers Panel all the time it will be difficult to switch definitely to it.
please, keep up the great work.
-
Even when using the debug dialog?
Could you send me your file? -
jbb,
I am sorry. I had completely forgotten what you taught me. after debugging the missing layer showed up.
now I will be able to switch to LP. great.
