[Plugin] Layers Panel 1.2.1
-
Not sure if this is an intended function or not, but I accidently discovered today that holding down 'control' and scrolling causes the whole menu system to resize...that was unexpected, and very helpful. I can double the number of layers visible on the screen. Has this functionality always been there?
-
Okay, nevermind. Did some looking, and apparently I've been living in the dark ages regarding control + mouse scroll functionality for about a zillion things.

2 issues on Mac
sorry I don't know if these issues been posted before ...
-
the panel won't remember its on-screen location
everytime i drag the panel to somewhere other to another position, most of the time the 2nd screen, after I close the panel and open it again, it will return to its original position.
this also happens when SketchUp restarts. -
color picker does not work.

Hello,
this looks great but I'm not sure if it is compatible for a Mac, it looks like people have tried it, but it does state on the download page that it is for Windows. Will it cause me any problems if I try it? have any Mac users tried it, any ideas gratefully received.
Thanks.
-
It is OSX compatible, though some minor bugs remain. You should try it.
Where do you see it being windows only?
-
Hi Jiminy,
thanks for your speedy response, whilst looking for where it said it was for "windows", I realise I was being very dim!! I saw usage window layers panel and my brain made it mean usage for Windows!
I'll give it a try, it looks great. I'll let you know if I have any problems. All the best, Sally

New version 1.1.0 !
Introducing layer states :
[screenr:2lwo1pas]PWgN[/screenr:2lwo1pas]It works like Photoshop's "layer comps". I didn't keep the "comp" name, as in Sketchup it usually means "components".
Changelog :
- Added layer "states" (with new dialog). States allows to save snapshots of the current layers visibility, and restore them later.
- Fixed several bugs
Download in the plugin store !

Hi
Have just downloaded the new version of Layers Panel (1.1.0) and I'm getting an error message when I try to create a new group or layer. Error message attached.
Also, I'm having trouble saving layer states. When I save and close a model, all the layer states come up empty again when I reopen it.
Once again, thanks for the great plugin...despite being a work in progress, it's already made it to the top of my list of most used plugins.
Keep up the awesome work!
Cheers
Joel

Does it happen in every file? Even a brand new one?

Crash when opening sketchup 8 pro !

With your plugin, Sketchup 8 Pro (32 bits Windows 7) doesn't start correctly and a bug splat was produced.
If i remove your plugin, all is OK... and sketchup starts correctly !
Best regards -
Any error message before it crashes?

No it crashes just after the new Layers panel Tool-box appears on screen..
-
Could you try with only Layers Panel, and no other plugin?
-
Jiminy,
I've told you before of a file of mine were from time to time I loose all layer groups I created before.
I lost them again and with the latest version of the plugin I can't create new layer groups so I can correct the model.
Something's funky and I don't know what.
The model is 83mb, with a lot of scenes and layers for each scene, so I can create document drawings for construction in Layout. It's heavy in terms of size and organization but it's an example of what we do at our office and why your plugin would be so handy.
I can send you the model, if you want but not through here.
Best regards and thanks,
JQL

That would be useful. Maybe by PM or email?

sometimes when i try and undo an operation it does not work and looking at EDIT -> UNDO - it will say UNDO Properties as if I changed a property instead of the modeling operation I am trying to undo... is this coming from Layers Panel?

I don't think so.
It has been reported that LP can cause weird things with the undo stack, but every operation should have an explicit name. So no "undo properties".
Unless you're using an old version?@matt.gordon320 said:
Thanks again Jiminy-Billy-Bob! This plugin is amazing! I do have a request (unless it's a feature I missed). Would there be any plans to be able to select and group multiple layers by holding Shift and clicking like in Photoshop, then hold Ctrl and remove one or two?
Not sure if it's already coded in, and mine isn't working for some reason or not. Just checking! Thanks!
It should work. Are you using the last version?

EDIT: Right after posting, just realized most of the UI isn't responding. No crashes, no hangs, it just doesn't do anything.
Stuff that works: Moving layers, visibility, current layer toggle, render toggle, lock layer, move selection to highlighted layer, select highlighted layer's entities.
Stuff that doesn't respond: Everything else.
Tried restarting both SketchUp and Windows, but to no avail. Strange, it was working just a few minutes ago.
