The ability to "isolate" and only view a given tag. Instead of having to toggle off the visibility of all other tags.

I know it's only a name change.

It looks as though this plug-in does isolate tags. https://sketchucation.com/plugin/2030-s4u_layer Though 2025 is not supported. Perhaps my verbiage has made it unclear. A better way of expressing it might be "isolate".

Thanks @Box. Your above description does make perfect sense. I come from an audio world. Where we have channels/tracks which can be soloed or muted. i.e one button does all of what you describe above. Seems odd that such a simple feature does not exist or someone hasn't written a plug-in/script for such an application. EDIT: I do realize that SU abandoned the use of layers many versions back. I'm pretty sure other programs which facilitate the use of layers (tags in SU) have this feature. One button to only view a particular layer (tag).

What I mean by solo is select the tag and only see the items that have that tag associated. I've exhausted every option that I could think of to try and make this possible. Perhaps there is an extension or plug-in that allows this feature? Or is this possible by making a tag folder and utilizing that feature?

@Rich-O-Brien Thank you so much for your reply and info.

Hi Fredo. I've used so many of your creations over the years. I want to say I've used SU on and off since at least 2006. I just purchased SU2025 Pro and I'm also a member here on Sketchucation, though my membership here is of the free variety. I'm getting ready to purchase the Fredo6Bundle2022 through Sketchucation, but I want to make sure I'm good to go ahead and purchase. Under the "Requirements" you mention "Usage: Paid, Licensed under Sketchucation SCFLicense". I want to understand if this means I need to be a "Paid" member here on Sketchucation, or am I reading too much into that? I hope my inquiries are clear enough and thanks in advance for any clarifications you can provide. EDIT*: Or if anyone else can answer this question if Fredo isn't available, that we be great. THX!

TIG!

What a lifesaver you are! I had no idea that certain or all/any extensions are now loaded this way. I normally use the Sketchucation store and load/install through there. Maybe I have been mistaking the old way of doing plugins. I've been using sketchup even before Google took it over, way back. I thought that just depositing the .rbz files in the appropriate folder would do the trick. Not in 2015 at least.

Thank you so much for your quick reply, simple fix and comprehensible instructions.

Cheers!

Hi all. I have SU2LUX_045b.rbz in the appropriate folder I believe (C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins).

I'm running SU2015, I am unable to see/locate/make work the SU2LUX plugin while I'm in SU. Please, if anyone has any thoughts I would be very grateful.

Thanks!!!

Hi Fredo,

I absolutely love your Animator plugin. I was actually in the middle of editing some animations when I received the notice that "this version is out of date, please update" (paraphrasing). I went to the sketchucation plugin and downloaded animator v1.5d successfully. I am currently running LibFredo6 v7.5b. However it still is giving me the popup that says this version of animator is out of date. I am running sketchup version 15.3.331 64-bit. Thoughts?

UPDATE: I quit and restarted sketchup and the animator plugin seems to be working. Apologies.

Best,

BD

I have used SU2POV for quite awhile with SU8. It has been my favorite rendering exporter. Recently I bit the bullet and updated SU to 2015.

I also am trying to successfully run SU2POV 3.5 on SU2015. The installation was "successful", although when I restart sketchup I also receive these errors:

Any help with a fix for this would be GREATLY appreciated.
