Naming Layers [Architectural use generally...]

Dear Didier,

I look forward to seeing your new layer management script. Up until now I have tended to draw everything on Layer 0, but my models are getting larger and more difficult to handle, so I will have to get to grips with layers.

I have a vague memory of you discussing your own layer management scheme, but that was some time ago.

Kind regards,
Bob

I don't know about Mac but it downloaded fine in Windows. However the ile seems to be completely "empty" - I don't mean there's no geometry (Andrew said tha: "dummy file") but no layers other than the default Layer 0.

Does anyone else experience this?

Hi

Maybe I'm the only MacIntosher who has problems to download >utilers< layers sets.skp file.
Or are there any others ? Is there any help ?
It's my first and until now the only downloaded skp-file making difficulties by opening.

Thanks
Bert

Thanks Gaieus …

… for checking utilers layers_setup.skp file. It seems that I missed nothing in being unable to open it – probably just a vapor file.

At the moment my Mac and my brain are working OK so I don't need further advice on using layers or opening files. I was just curious to see how others organize there workflow.

A script such as rename_layers might be useful to some of you. You can open the .rb with a text editor which details how you can input certain parameters

rename_layers.rb

bert,

the problem does not seem to have anything to do with mac issues. the file was uploaded in the old server we used before the new board installed. it is just not there any longer to be downloaded.
