Seem like the LP 1.0.3 have problems when I updated TT_Lib 2.9.9
That's a co-incidence. When you launch SketchUp via a SKP file that is located on a drive different from where SketchUp is installed something gets messed up in SketchUp Ruby. Launch SketchUp first, then open your file - that's the workaround until we release a fix.
I open Sketchup files on my travel USB HD from XnView all the time. So are you telling me, the safest way to open Sketchup files is from Sketchup and not a viewer?
IF so, this could explain a lot.
Thanks for your reply.

Yes, if you use plugins then until we get the fix released you're better of starting SketchUp first, then open the files from SketchUp. Apologies for the inconvenience.
-
Do you have an ETA for the fixed release?
-
Afraid not. WIP.

Layers Panel reached 300 unique daily users
(as far as I can see, there are probably more if there are multiple users on a single IP adress)A big thanks to all of you to motivate me pushing this plugin further and further!
It wouldn't be what it is today if not thanks to all your feedback and ideas.

I still cannot undo without this appearing keeping the undo from happening:
Undo Layers Panel ID
-
Every time you undo?
-
I installed v1.0.4. and I am getting the same results of unresponsiveness. I went through and organised everything and after saving, closing the file and restarting it, it became unresponsive. I have reorganized my layers so many times without them staying active and/or organised that I am about to give up on your layers panel for this drawing.

Ctrl-z or Alt-backspace
Have to repeat many times before undo happens: most times undo never happens.
What's more, sometimes undo does work.

I may have found what's causing this issue. Not 100% sure, though.
I'll release the fix soon.@bob james said:

Hmm, so not every time? Do you know in which case it doesn't happen? Or in which case it happens?
Does it happen in every file? -
New version 1.0.5 !
Changelog :
- Fixed major issues that would freeze Layers Panel, or delete every groups
- Added API for rendering
Download in the plugin store !

Does it happen in every file?For large files (e.g., >100MB): Yes, but not on every attempt to undo!!
-
Could you send me one of those files? (Maybe delete the geometry, if this doesn't affect the behaviour)

also noted: when i first loaded the latest version, i got an error about id being incorrect and used the "fix" link provided. that seemed ok, but then i noticed that the name-order of the layers is wrong - about 1/2 are ok, and 1/2 are not - i was assuming the order of the layers follows the regular layer when first initialized? an ability to sort the layers by name or groups would be handy
otherwise it seems like i would manually need to re-order them... -
Hi Jiminy,
I have a minor issue for you here. Win 7 SU 2014.
-
Love the plugin but I keep getting this error message!

Yes, this is normal. Previous versions were causing an issue, so this new version is fixing it. But this should happen only once.

Whow, this is weird. Does this happen in the same file that was previously causing you issues? Do you know how to reproduce this?

Does this happen in every file? Are you running the last version of Layers Panel? (v1.0.5)
-
Jiminy, Thank you for the 1.0.5 release. The Layer Panel is working much better now. I appreciate your willingness to keep at in order to provide a great plugin.

I'm hoping to add this extension to my toolset, but I'm having some issues (see attached image). It's very strange.
If I open up Sketchup2014 first, then click File > Open and find my model, it works just fine.
If I open the file directly from my windows explorer (locating sketchup\models\model.skp and double clicking it), I get the error shown.
For some reason, opening the file directly causes problems.I found a way around it, though: if I open up Sketchup2014, then IMPORT my model.skp, it works fine. I can save it as model-2.skp, close sketchhup, then open model-2.skp directly, and it continues to work just fine. Very strange. This is SORT of a workaround, but if I try to open any of my other dozens of sketchup files directly, I get the error message. I've tried deleting the files from my Roaming folder, then reinstalling. No luck. Any advise?
Also as a secondary question, I'll have multiple people using this extension (if I can get it working). We'll be accessing the file from a shared server. If person A adds a Layers Panel group to the model, then saves and quits, can person B open up the model and find that group? Is Layers Panel adding metadata to the model or something?

icedkasz > Your first issue has been discussed many times on this thread. It's a Sketchup issue, I can't do anything about it. We need to wait for Trimble to fix it.
As for your second question: Yes, all the data is stored within the file, so you can give it to whoever you want, and they'll see all you groups etc.
