    Hey didier, first of all great work! it really saves me alot of time.

    I have many groups within groups within groups in a model I'm working on, is there a way to move a selection to current layer that digs into groups/subgroups and moves every line/face along with it?

    this would save me a whole lot of tedious work.

    thanks again for the freeware.

      No... 😳 But you may take a look at TIG's defaults2layers.rb recently published. It can help you a bit.

                    Curious problem on my Macs (work and home): The Layer Manager toolbar does not appear automatically. Each time I open SU7 I have to go to View/Tool Palettes and click on Layer Manager. Sort of a nuisance, but Layer Manager is a major player for me in SU.

                    Is this normal or do I have a problem? ❓

                        can someone post a screenshot or two of this layer manager. i'd like to see it before i decide whether to rearrange my toolbars.

                          Layer Manager is one of my top-usage plug-ins: especially the "all layers invisible except current" (the one with the red dot) and "all layers visible" (the one with the green dot).
                          Didier has just released a new version that "remembers" the state of the toolbar so you don't have to keep opening it.

                          Very useful (at least for me).

                            Really? β˜€ Do you care to share where I can get it from?

                              Workaround:
                              Open the main rb file with a texte editor,
                              go to line 160
                              type: layers_tb.show
                              save the rb file

                              the end of file must look like:

                              layers_tb.add_item(cmd10)
                              layers_tb.show
                              # End of load
                              $layer_manager_menu_loaded = true
                              end
                              file_loaded("fr_layer_manager_extension_v6.rb")
                              

                              restart SU, you're done.

                                Ok, workaround works fine on my Mac.! πŸ˜„

                                Now is there also one for the Main toolbar on top? Icons do not stick there either. πŸ˜›

                                merci beaucoup.

                                updt: I tried to find one plugin that would do it to see how it was done. But it seems like it's a real problem since not one of my plugins can keep its icons up there. Be it LightUP, Subd&Smooth, JPP, Tools-on-Surface or BezierSpline. ❓ ❓

                                    Hi,
                                    Below is a preview of next release, still at beta:
                                    lm_tb.jpg
                                    I have split the script in 2 toolbars: 1 for the tools, 1 for the layers configs.

                                    Features of toolbar 1:
                                    Set layer of clicked object current
                                    Set layer of clicked object current and isolated
                                    Set layer of clicked object invisible
                                    All layers visible
                                    All layers invisible (except current)
                                    Toggle visibility of all layers
                                    Select/Deselect layer content
                                    Move selection to current layer (digs in compos and groups)
                                    Set layers of selection isolated (digs in compos and groups)
                                    Set layers of selection invisible (digs in compos and groups)
                                    Show layers by filter (add to visible layers)
                                    Isolate layers by filter (digs in compos and groups)
                                    Hide layers by filter (digs in compos and groups)
                                    Toggle display color by layer
                                    Match layer property of clicked object
                                    Create layer and control behavior
                                    Delete layer (digs in compos and groups)
                                    Lock layer
                                    Unlock layer

                                    The other toolbar should have the same features than the previous release had, more or less.
                                    Regards,

                                    DB

                                      Hello Didier,

                                      It would be great iff the new version of your tool also be able to pasword protect for instance a invisable/locked layer.
                                      Will it be?
                                      If not,do you think it is possible inside Sketchup?

                                      Thanks for all your efforts.

                                      Greetings,

                                          what doesn't work? some functions? or the plugin as a whole?
