[Plugin] Team Edit - synchronised modelling v0.1.5 (alpha)
-
Tommy,
I'm confortable on the plugin changing the display style temporarly IF it doen't save/applies the changes. Maybe this could be an option on a plugin definition because I would mind to work on a TeamEdit style. I have all my models setup with styles that are saved on scenes and styles I set while working for faster display. This working style is applied using a plugin "Trog_Styles" (or similar name) and a shortcut.
I really like the idea that the background changes because I always set it to transparent on Layout wich wouldn't be affected by the color change.
However if we are working on a component that is indoors there's no way to see the background that visual indication would be lost. What about allowing us to set the style warning of our choice. I, for instance, would gladly have my style being changed to Red/Orange lines along with the background as it's way more important for me to be careful when editing than to be conservative on changes to the visual style. (Specially if this changes wouldn't be saved on model.)

Here you go:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kn7zbev4ypffolu/AADO0wm43jj1FgvFjgjBOP3Ia?dl=0I can't find an option to allow anyone to edit the folder, so it wouldn't quite work in the same way. I will be happy for anyone to PM with their email, and I will invite you to the Dropbox folder.

I think you have some good points there, JQL. So good in fact, that it has been implemented in the latest release.
Team Edit update v0.1.3 with what JQL said

Hi Tommy,
Me and my team are very excited about this plugins, we also trying it, but it doesn't work as your explanation on usage. First, We have synchronize our files on google drive and it synchronized properly. When enabled team edit, component folder was created, but every time we save the component model, changes made by other users wont be reloaded on my main model. Is there any wrong action we take? We'll very appreciate if you could share the step how to use it properly.
Thanks

ThanksI'm sorry to hear that, and thank you for trying the plugin out and reporting back.
Firstly, please confirm the following:
- that the plugin is installed on all computers that are editing those components
Two possible things come to mind:
- changes are reloaded on your main model when you save the main model.
- I haven't tried it with Google Drive before, but it should work like Dropbox. With large components, it can take some time for the component files (.skp files) to be synced on Google Drive/Dropbox. There can be a situation where TeamEdit can't find the new component, in which case it assumes it hasn't been synced yet, and waits until the next save operation to have another go at reloading it.
If the above doesn't help, I would very much appreciate it if you could send me the folder called "Network Files" (within your "XXX_Components" folder. You can PM me. Also please let me know what platform you are on (PC/Mac, Win version, SU version etc).

I feel a bit ashamed here, but I haven't tried Team Edit yet. I'm just in the middle of a project and can't change the procedure now. I guess a simple example would be interesting... As soon as I have some time I will try it as fully as I can.

Don't worry! Try it out at your pleasure. It shouldn't be used in a production environment yet anyway. Simply put, the more feedback I get, the more reliable it will get.
