Bug: If you skip to the next scene with a shortcut, than its skipping 2 scenes in one step. Same thing backwards. (SU 2021 pro)

Interesting find. Does that occur with the menu bar hidden or even with the menu bar visible?

Edit: I can reproduce the bug with the menu bar hidden. Working on a fix.

Hello,

Did you activate your license file, that you will have received upon purchasing?

If you have, in order for a pin to be movable, it must be a top level object (must not have any parent groups).

Announcing version 2. This one should not interfere with any tools. The way this works is it suppresses existing mouse wheel messages with deltas of 120 and in turn sends multiple subsequent mouse wheel messages with smaller deltas, yielding smoother transition effects. Let me know if this works, so that I can decide how to proceed with this. Options to adjust zoom intensity will be added soon. Thanks!

By the way, this is still Windows only, for now (SU6-SU2021). I only tested this with SU2020 and SU2021 though. Also, AMS Library is not longer needed for this, so this is an independent plugin.

Hi,

I love the plugin, but I was wondering if it would be possible to have Sketchup save the toggle for floating toolbars. I have to hide the floating toolbars manually every time I restart Sketchup even though I use Fullscreen to hide them and click the save and check the "Apply Saved On Start" option.

Thank you!
Chris B.

Apparently I have the same problem, or maybe I don't quite understand how it works.
Still a great help.

Please update to version 5.1.0, where floating toolbars and dialogs are shown/hidden along with saved state.

Thanks

How can I know if my group is "top level" for the plug in to work?

When you double click on a group, you enter the context of a group, which contains faces/edges and probably sub-groups. A sub-group is NOT a top level group. A group is a top level provided it does not have any parent groups. In clothworks, you can only assign properties to groups or components that do not have parent groups.

[attachment=0:2vsg0ae6]Screen Shot 2021-03-18 at 3.08.00 PM.png[/attachment:2vsg0ae6]Hello, Anton -

An excellent plug-in, I think. I've purchased Clothworks license and received the license file, but I receive this error message when I try to activate.

I've sent a request to change the number of seats (whatever that means) and haven't received a reply. Can you help?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Anton, please help
Your brilliant plugin has always worked perfectly for me. Suddenly the usual menu has disappeared! Instead of 'make cloth' and 'make collider' I get a long menu I've not seen before which reads:
Toggle UI
Toggle Play
Stop
Reset
Toggle Drape
Add pin

etc etc and so it goes on, but nowhere can I make a cloth or make a collider, so suddenly I can't use your plugin at all!

How do I get it working properly again?! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still exactly the same problem persists!

Do hope you can help me to sort this out

Thank you
Best regards
John

Hey, the Make Cloth and rgw Make Collider options are only available in the Context Menu. You can access the context menu by right-clicking on a top-level group or a component.

Only when FullScreen plugin is active/unable there is often the problem with floating toolbars and tooltips.
Same occurred with the orevious version of the plugin.
If this happens the icons on the floating toolbars are frozen. They do not react on clicking, the toolbar as cannot be moved aa well.

The only thing that can cure it is to restart Sketchup. Often it works.
This happens only when FullSreen plugin is unable.

Would it be possible for you to test the FullScreen plugin without AVAIL RPC installed? It can be the case that there is an additional conflict between two of these plugins.

Perhaps as a brand new Sketchup element installed and its very unique quality and function Sketchup has same time to warmly and fully accept it.

No, that is not the case. SketchUp does not work like an immune system.

I'm facing one little problem in SketchUp 2021 it's showing in the Extension menu not windows and the is not an option for Reset I also find in Shortcut.

I moved the controls to Extensions menu intentionally. The Reset option is replaced with Apply Saved. Toggle the Apply Saved option to retain (apply saved settings) or reset (revert to original settings). The purpose for having one menu option is so that you could assign the same shortcut key to toggle between retaining and resetting.

@tutorialsup said:

and one request
can you turn on the dark mode or just invert colors for the whole sketchup including all toolbars, trays, dialogs, and menus
by doing this you can save millions of eyes

Dark theme is not an easy problem to solve. Besides changing the colors of the frames, you must also change many of the icons, e.g. icons that contain black edges must be changed to white or another light outline color, otherwise, it will look ugly. Besides that, trays will also need to be updated... The fonts should be changed from dark to light. Doing this would not be practical (maybe even possible) from my end. This is something that SketchUp has to do from their end. I know WinForms framework supports dark theme. If SketchUp is based on WinForms, then it shouldn't be a hard problem for them.

As in previous version I have an issue with the toolboxes placed on the SU working space (not docked. Most of the time they are frozen. Cannot activate any icon or move them on the screen. This is very annoying.
With the previous version opening and close a Menu-Toolbat dialog windows or deactivate/activate an item of your plugin via the Menu resolved the problem.

At present several times I could make alive the toolbar only by restarting SU 2021 (samein 2020 one).
Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Does this frozen toolbars issue happen with just the FullScreen plugin installed or does it happen even without the plugin installed?

@pipinek said:

One more thing - it seems whilst the plugin activated the screen toolbar tips are not showing

Can you elaborate by active? Do you mean when the user interface window is open or when you have certain certain features hidden, e.g when hiding menu bar?

I do not seem to experience either of the above, so help me understand this.

By the way, glad the previous issue is resolved!

Thank you for your marvellous work.
Alas the newest version stops as well AVAIL RPC functionality.
Same as before.
Within both Su 2020 and 2021.

I think I know what's going on. Can you check if the attached version works? Thanks!

ClothWorks. Can anyone help please.
All has been working perfectly. Now it suddenly won't let me 'apply a quadrilateral grid' to the cloth. I click and get the message: Purge the selected grid of coplaner geometry. But there is no complex geometry! It's just a simple rectangle just like I've always done before! I've unistalled and re-installed. I've switched off and switched on again. Still nothing. Still the same block.
I'm writing as someone who's used Clothworks a lot and never had the slightest problem with it.
Any help v greatly received. Thank you

John

The message you're getting is "Purge the selected cloth of coplanar geometry, prior to generating a grid?" -- a question. You should click YES and it will proceed with generating the grid, and will do so successfully if your geometry turns out to be a quadrilateral or two triangles linked by an edge.

Антон, хоть пару слов, - ждать совместимость с 2021?

Yes, sorry, update in progress. You can expect this within this month.

Thank you very much.
Splendid.

Could you please drop a line here once its done?

There is a conflict between your plugin and AVAIL RPC Browser and SU plugin.
Once your plugin activated one cannot use the AVAIL Archvision feature.

Anything can be done to make them work together?

Hey,

Could you elaborate on the conflict? What is AVAIL RPC Browser?

Edit: I see your message above regarding the AVAIL RPC Brower drag and drop functionality. Let me know if this is fixed once I update this.

Thanks,
Anton

I had a working Clothworks license prior to its latest revision and prior to SketchUp 2021. Now that I am using SU 2021, I downloaded the latest (and apparently working) revision of Clothworks, but it doesn't seem to recognize my previous license. And, I do know how to "upgrade" my Clothworks license. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Please update to the latest version of SketchUcationTools: https://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download

If the above does not work, try resetting your licensing cache, and then activating again. You can refer to the steps here, Known Issues section, #3: https://antonsynytsia.github.io/manuals/ClothWorks/license_manual_v174.pdf

Thanks,

Hello,

about a month ago I bought the full version of ClothWorks and recieved a zipped lecense file.
When I tried to unzip it, I got this message:
[pre:1wmg9e2g]Error - Cannot open file "SCF_Purchased_License_ClothWorks_NORMAL_20201219" as archive.[/pre:1wmg9e2g]
I emailed clothworks@sketchucation.com and never heard back, thought it was because of the holidays.
I tried emailing again today and recieved this email in return:
[pre:1wmg9e2g]mx.google.com rejected your message to the following email addresses:

clothworks@sketchucation.com (clothworks@sketchucation.com)
Your message wasn't delivered because the recipient's email provider rejected it.[/pre:1wmg9e2g]
what am I supposed to do now?

Hello,

You should not unzip the file. It's not a zip file. Just download the file, and provided you installed SketchUcationTools and ClothWorks, activate your license file.

You can refer to the instructions here:

Also, I am not sure why your email is rejected.

Let us know if that works.

Thanks,
Anton
