      Thanks for the PM.
      I can use the 'colon' [or 'TAB'] txt file just fine...
      The layers/colors come in as expected.

      Have you tried my own txt file.
      I expect it won't matter...

      BUT your files already work fine for me πŸ˜•

        Hi TIG,

        After some testing, it appears that I have a weird issue with Notepad++ [under investigation!]

        Using plain Notepad to make the Layers.txt file, the plugin results are as expected.

        Nice work again!

        Many thanks, πŸ˜„

          Can this export from one file and create the text file that will be used on another file?

              lol... It's great just the way it is TIG... Thank you.

              Currently I open a sketchup model and find I want the layers from another. So I open a second instance and then copy/paste geometry from old to new and thus transfer layers. Only takes a few clicks.

                Check your encoding on Notepad++ please.

                  I wrote **TIG-LayersToList** anyway - http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=568648#p568648
                  You can use it to make Layer-sets for reuse in other Models in conjunction with this tool - TIG-LayersFromList http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_LayersFromList ...

                      Here is v1.2 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_LayersFromList
                      It fixes an issue reported by some Win8 users, where the layers' color were not getting set correctly.

                        Hi Folks,

                        If you need to create a sequence of layers with text and numbers with specific colours I have shared a means to create the text file easily for use with this wonderful ruby of TIG's.
                        It can be used to verify the colour of RGB values too by colouring the cell to RGB values specified.

                        I used MS excel and VBA. It can be found here http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=63894

                        Cheers,

                        Miner_jeff

                          Can we set Default Text file path in this script . . . . . ?

                            Please expand on this, so we might understand your question...

                              Hi TIG -

                              Thanks for a very useful plugin (along with it's companion).

                              I have a request for a plugin that would build on these two, in order to automatically replace Layers From with Layers To in a SU file. My thought is that the easiest way would be with a simple two column csv file that gives the equivalences: 'From' in col A and 'To' in col B.

                              I would use it to harmonize layer names across models, so that imported components would always land on the right layers, without having to manually delete and merge the newly imported layer(s).

                              Not sure how difficult it would be, but would be a great help.

                              Thanks,

                              Doug
