Does anyone know of a way to add the VRAY commands to a toolbar in LOTTB ? I'm using 1.5a & vray 5.10.06 in Sketchup pro 2021 v.21.1.299. VRAY is does not appear anywhere as an option for adding to LOTTB
You may have to restart Sketchup twice after installation of LOTT. The reason is that VRay installs in a special directory and arranges that its toolbars are not really accessible by program.

It's nearly impossible to arrange icons precisely- very irritating.How many icons do you have in the row?
@rv1974 said:
*)Sometimes some icons just don't show right click menu and the icons can't be deleted. They'd disappear only after SU restart.
Do you mean that you get the cursor showing as if you were doing a drag and drop?

True docking is not possible. When you move SU from one monitor to another, something happens which I don't understand. It might be that the API to dialog is buggy. Unfortunately, I have currently only one monitor (a laptop), so I cannot test.

Some bug hunting here:
*)The precision of longtoolbar stretching (horizontally) is extremely poor, its up to 3-4 icons error. It's nearly impossible to arrange icons precisely - very irritating. On middle size toolbars it's almost OK - only 1 icon error.
*)Sometimes some icons just don't show right click menu and the icons can't be deleted. They'd disappear only after SU restart.
*)Locked toolbars and vignette can't keep their lockedposition when SU window get relocated from monitor to monitor and back. In this regard, would it be possible to implement true docking?
Thank you -

~90. all bottom area, from edge to edge.

I mean the menu attached below. Sometimes I grag new icons to my toolbar, then decide to say delete some of them, but nothing could be done because the right click menu is gone.
P.S. Another glitch I forgot to mention: Sometimes adding a separator would put it 3 icons to the left

Should i uninstall LOTT, and then reinstall LOTT and then quite and start Sketchup twice, and then Bobs your Uncle ? thx
(Any news on the ability to make the vignette stay in position on the monitor where i want it ?) -
Great extension. I wonder if it is possible to make a custom made toolbar fly out? Would save getting in the way when you have it in the work area.

This is an amazing plugin! I have moved my workflow into using it, but as of yesterday it has been crashing my sketchup, before it can fully load, every time. See attachment - any suggestions on what might be happening here?

Which version of Sketchup are you running? If SU2021, please migrate to the latest version, because it solves issues related to menus.

OK so i realise now that there is a switch to "Exclude" vray from the options, so i turned that off and it solved my problem. Amazing ! The only thing i really would appreciate would be to have control over where the vignette appears every time i start sketchup. Currently, i have to move it from Screen 2 onto Screen 1 every time

I'm on sketchup 2021.1.332

one more thing about the Vignette. I am finding that, even without closing Sketchup, the Vignette jumps back over to the second screen (monitor). This doesnt happen all the time - just happens sometimes / occasionally. I will open a different drawing from Sketchup and the vignette moves back to where it was at startup
-
Thank you for a great extension. Unfortunately, I have a few bugs. Line breaks are lost for some favorite vignettes. Icons rearrange and arrangement lose clarity. There is a problem with the line break for sure. Sometimes it happens to me that the icon duplicates and the original cannot be deleted, moved - right-clicked or removed the break before. I have not yet discovered the exact cause or procedure. But it's happening significantly and it's incredibly annoying.
SketchUp 2020 20.0.363. Martin -

Hi Fredo,
An amazing plugin - truly a game changer for Plugin reliant Su users! especially helpful on my laptopI got a suggestion and an issue.
My suggestion is - could the palettes appear with the use of a shortcut then disappear when a plugin has been hit. with an option for the Palette to appear where the cursor is and in a user defined locations.
My issue
I'm having trouble altering my palettes. Icons/separators double up when I move them, with these ghost icons/separators I can't right click on them. Ive done al ot of combinations of holding shift / control but the its seems the same what ever combo i use....go here for a video of what i mean and then - of all things a crash!!

Some observations:
The plugin misbehaves heavily in large files*:
Open command search window makes navigation (lags &freezing) in complex and heavy files practically impossible.
Command search itself becomes super slow.
Icons refuse to disappear when user tries to remove them.
Restoring from a good config file has no effect. Restart is needed to see the change.
*- normally 3-6+ SU windows are opened simultaneously. Hard to say if it influence, but standard UI elements in every file run perfectly. -

Are you referring to the synchronization mechanisms between SU instances on Windows?
-
*) no lags with SU right click menu (whith LOTT Search closed) IIRC.
*) removed icons remain (untill restart) in user LOTT pallets
*) I mean normally I keep open numerous different skp files (maybe it affects, but unlikely)
Maybe its a good idea to send you some heavy file later on to take a look..
Thank you
