Did you quit SketchUp and restart it to make sure all extensions were loaded correctly?
Did you install SketchUp correctly? That requires right clicking on the installer and selecting run as administrator.
-
Yes I quit SU every time I make a change.
When I installed SU I did not right click and run as administrator. I did not know that was a thing.
SU is on my personal computer. How do I fix that, Do I have to uninstall SU.. If I do that will I lose all my settings and plugins.Thanks again for your help

Quit both SketchUp and LayOut. find the downloaded installer in your Downloads folder or get it from sketchup.com/download/all. Right click on the installer, choose Run as administrator, and when prompted, choose Repair.
As for your settings and extensions, no, you will not lose them.

OMG I FIXED IT
As usual the problem was at my end.
So I figured out if you exclude the palette name from showing in the Vignette strip then the palette will not disappear once a tool is selected if you launched the palette with a shortcut key. If I select 'icon' or 'abbreviation' when setting up the favourite then the palette acts as expected and disappears once the tool is picked.
I am not sure if this is a deliberate function or an oversite. The reason I removed them from showing in the Vignette strip was to reduce clutter when moussing across for other pallets, I have them as shortcuts which I have mapped to the space mouse so I click on one of those keys when I need the palette. My work around is to assign a single letter to the abbreviation and position them at the end of the vignette strip.
I feel like a bit of a muppet for not making the connection sooner. There is nothing like beating your head against a brick wall to induce a bit of clarity!!
Thank you for your efforts in resolving this.Mike

Dear Fredo,
First of all many thanks for everything you are doing, I rely on your software and innovation more than on what the entire Trimble company does. For this exact reason I was wondering if there was the possibility to just buy LOTT as you made possible for other extensions of yours.
These continuous updates are a problem because every time you make a change I have to update all the machines straight away otherwise nothing works (this time, by the way, the plugin dos not seem to load every time). I would much rather pay to update the plugin when I am ready to do so.
Thanks!

I am not sure I understand. Paying for the plugin will not change the question of plugin updates (and potential bugs)...

Hello Fredo
I have noticed that regularly my LOTT toolbars don't appear when loading SU.
It seems it's related to updates.
While I understand that you update your plugins on a regular basis, it's very annoying that essential tools get stuck each time you make an update.
I need to have a guess and try Extension Manager updates (nope), a Sketchucation tools update (nope), a manual reinstall of the LOTT plugin (overwriting) via sketchucation tools (YES)...
At least you could give us a hint when the LOTT toolbars don't appear anymore.
When I don't have a wifi connexion it's a nightmare, I need to open all my plugins toolabr again to have access to the tools I use on a daily basis (and clutter my UI as in the past).Thanks for the cool essential addon!
-
YES optimaforever! That is exactly the problem I was talking about and your solution seems to have been working, so far at least.
I really hope Fredo that we don't come of as entitled, obviously you are giving us all these great tools (most of the times for free!) and we are off course not in a position to demand anything.
The problem, as optimaforever hinted, is that we, or at least I, rely so much on all your plugins that when they don't work is a huge issue, and that's why I immediately bought all your plugins the minute that I could, donated to you a little bit for all the others, and we are still FAR from even.
For that reason, I was just wondering if you are planning to make a paid version even just for the privilege of not having the plugins (especially LoTT!) disappear all of a sudden every once in a while.
Thanks a lot again.

Was SketchUp installed correctly? That requires right clicking on the downloaded installer and selecting Run as administrator. If not, there would be issues with folder permissions that could prevent extensions from installing/updating correctly.
I've never had any issues with any of Fredo6's extensions updating and loading correctly. I made sure to install SketchUp correctly on my machines.

Thanks Dave.
I've updated my profile (sorry I use SU since v2.1 circa 2001 so this was pretty obvious for me that I use the latest build but you're right, let's update this).
I don't think I installed SU as an admin because my Win11 account is an admin account.
I never had any issues prior to this but since Win11 i have had so many bugs...
So you mean that in your case, plugins updates automatically without asking/notifying you? -

Thanks for updating it.

Unfortunately that's not the same as using Run as administrator. I would suggest that you close SketchUp, find the installer or get it from sketchup.com/download/all, right click on it, choose run as administrator, and then, when prompted, choose Repair.

Are you running the Developer Preview build of Win11? That has been problematic for many users, not just of SketchUp. I've avoided the Preview build but I recently saw the text of an e-mail sent from Windows to someone who is using that build. The text indicated that 3rd party applications could be compromised and the advise was to avoid using 3rd party software on the Preview build.
@optimaforever said:

No! Not at all. I periodically open the Sketchucation Extension Store UI to see if it indicates there are any extensions that have updates available and then I use the update feature to install them. In fact Fredo6 just released an update to LibFredo6 a little bit ago and I updated it.
