Sind SU 2023 Icons have change
I tried hard to get used to them - without success!!!
The new Icons request attention a concentration
Works slows down - especially when days are getting long -
With growing age, my eyes don’t help either.
Here is my request :
Alternative 1
give users a chance to choose with a simple mouse click (preferences)
Alternative 2
a smart developer writes a plugin to switch to the old Icons
Hope to get a soon response!!
Best regards,
U. Paar
Hi Tig,
thanks for your great help
got almost everything to work again.
I can't see an equivalent for Xray mode...
"Sketchup.send_action 10513" works just fine
one command resists :
Old
cmd = UI::Command.new("Layers") { Sketchup.send_action 21354 }
cmd.large_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_lg.png"
cmd.small_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_sm.png"
cmd.tooltip = cmd.status_bar_text = "Show Layers Palette"
gp_cd_standard_tb.add_item(cmd)
New
cmd = UI::Command.new("Layers") { Sketchup.send_action 21032 }
cmd.large_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_lg.png"
cmd.small_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_sm.png"
cmd.tooltip = cmd.status_bar_text = "Show Layers Palette"
gp_cd_standard_tb.add_item(cmd)
thanks again -
Uli
Plugin "CD STANDARD" some tools not working
Hello,
I like to work with the toolset "CD STANDARD" since many years
After installing SU 2023 some tools won´t work anymore.
In the following I copied the non working commands from "cd_standard.rb"
Can somebody help to get these tools working again??
Thanks
Uli

Hello Didier Bur,
I will try to sketch what I have in mind.
Do you have a mailbox to send you a rough idea for a tool description and some sketches ??
Greetings,
Uli
thanks Didier Bur,
I found that one out a little later.
Do you see chances to develop the plugin further
greetings
Uli
Okay
i checked Gosu and link manager
Both tools seem to be a good start of
Gosu
works fine inside SU
pro___it will open the text/image file right form sketchup
con___a Description can not be added to the linked Object
_______functionallity will not be transported do LO
link manager
works fine inside SU
pro___a Description can be added to each linked Object
______the linked file will open in sketchup
con____functionality will not be transported do LO
unfortunately I have no idea about designing a plugin
Somebody interessed to help
thanks
Uli
Hello,
thanks for your comments.
I will check the functions of the plugins an let you know how far i got
Uli
Hello,
I need a Plugin that links images and annotations to a SU Model.
The idea is, to place markers in an exact Model location in order to link and open images in a viewer.
There should be different "custom-designed" markers to be assigned to different categories of images.
The functionality should be transported from SU to LO.
Question: is there something similar available, or is somebody interested to design this tool?
Thanks for your comments and hinds
Uli
Hello and good evening,
while working on construction drawings Iam running into Problems with duplicate components.
If I count the amount of components manually (lets say lightning elements) I get a different result than what sketchup tells me
I guess some of the components are stacked on top of each other.
Anybody out there that knows of a tool that finds and marks/deletes these component-dublicates ???
