Do I need to type anything in the ruby console?
there is no error message. Everything else (debug, option, status) works fine.
just when I click layer panel the window is not showing up (it flashed up then its gone)
I tried to uninstall 1.2.1 and reinstall 1.2.0. same thing happens.
maybe is the sketchup itself has a problem?

running OS X 10.8.5, sketchup 14.
I updated the layer panel 1.2.1 from 1.2.0. but then the tool does not work anymore.

It is clearly intalled. The icon is there. the Layer Status browser works, when clicking the icon. But the Layer Panel does not open when clicking the icon. The browser window of the Layer Panel sort of flashes once which clicking the icon. (open and closes in a 0.1 second)

dont know what to do.
Great tool! frustrated that cannot us it now…. arrrrghhh

This is getting better and better! many thanks!!
small hick-up here. Is that the Layer Status does not work occasionally. I can still click it, but it won't update the layers I want to see.
Running on SU2014 on Mac

the update work great on Mac now. thanks!!
I am sure you are award of it… many have request a 'sort by name' function on the table. so we could navigate layers easily.
thanks once more

as in I know I could drag n drop the .rb file in windows.
but now I am using a mac in office computer. can't do the drag-n-drop anymore. (or is there a way?)

what is stopping you doing the drag and drop?
%(#0040FF)[the Mac I am using is not a personal machine and my user account do not allow to me to gain access to the system and make alterations of softwares.
I can update and install plugins, while I am in the software. but I cannot get to the actual software folder. Maybe there is a way to bypass it that I do not know.]

anyway i can fix the .rbx file?

.rbx? It should be an .rbx file. Are you using our PluginStore?

I can install .rbz file by install extension, but not drag-drop .rb file.

would be superb if there is a option of having square / rectangular tube rather than circular cylinder only

Isn't a 4 sided circle a square?

%(#0040FF)[what i meant was a tube allow to choose its facing direction. i.e.; a flat surface facing up like a hand rail.
a rectangular tube with dimension input would help. i.e.; a 100mm x 50mm tube…]

sorry that haven't been thorough

anyway i can alter the .rbZ file to work?

another suggestion. would be superb if there is a option of having square / rectangular tube rather than circular cylinder only.

Didier needs to rework his rb file for v2014 compatibility and republish it...

BUT you can do it temporarily for your own use, even though his script is 'packed'.
Open the file lines2tubes.rb in Notepad, and go to the end:
Change
...}.unpack("m")**.to_s**
to read
...}.unpack("m")**[0]**
Save the changes.
Restart SketchUp.

The script will then load and work in v2014 !

This simple fix can be applied to any of Didier's 'packed' scripts that aren't working in v2014.

These edited scripts will also load and work in earlier SketchUp versions too...

Working in Mac… not sure what to do

and just now… it crashes

Are you submitting the BugSplats? Did you enter any information we can use to look it up?

It is not a bugsplats. the programme freezes up, so i had to force quit. summited report to apple.
but yes, i generally summit reports if bugsplats occurs

and just now… it crashes

for the rendering button, at first, i thought it would open up an instant window for quick rendering instead of having to opening Artlantis separately. I think the render function makes more sense for those plug-in engines and so…. ( i used to run Shaderlight… not on your list either)

Keeping Artlantis not saying its a bad thing, there are pros and cons I would say.

Not so smooth wise. it does't happen all the time, but so far i found the following are most common.

1)The subject (layers and names) on your tool window does not response simultaneously to SU window. (i.e.; what I click add layer in your tool, I can see layer is added ONLY in the SU window, but not on tool's window) like they both do not spontaneously correspond.

2. Having several SU files open. switching from one to other. The tool struggles to keep up.
   ie; the tool's window content still showing the first SU model, even I have jump to working on the second model. (the first model still running at the back ground)

Sorry don't have a video (don't know how to, please enlighten me if there is a way to Screen-capture a video)
will let you know if there is further niggles

Have to praise this tool!! working on big projects and having loooooooooong list on the SU layers is just a pain.

Notice you have added a render icon for different engines on your tool. Artlantis is not there…. doesn't affect my work. but at first i though it was a miracle button to press.

working on Mac machine. works okay, not as smooth as you show it

recently entered an architecture competition, shortlisted and now on public vote. every vote counts! i ran out of ideas, and please do not mind me advertising here.
oh.. i used skup to build that model, so it is relevant?

blug splat!!!! arrrrgh (banging my head...)

would be a most-wanted tool if bug is fixed on slicing a section plane.

Sorry Chris as i didnt clarify the matter. What I have done was copied the rb file into the plugin file. However, when I loadup SU. I could not find the smartdrop function, not in the plugin list, nor right click, nor help. I though there was an icon for the smartdrop tool, back in su7 (maybe I am wrong), and it wasnt there. btw, everything else was find, no crash no nothing.

um... I think I should repair my su8 and re-download the rb file.

@chris fullmer said:

I just tried smart drop with SU 8, and it worked like a charm. What exactly about it is not working?

that's very strange. I assume there would be just one file (smartdrop.rb) to copy right? However, on my SU8, the smartdrop function is not showing at all. any idea why?

I tried, but i found it is really difficult to use... or am I doing something wrong? i selected a grouped object and the face I want to drop on, however its not doing it.
I miss smartdrop, just one click then it sits.

i try to run it with Skup 8, however without success. anyone tried?

I got it working now. it is WORKING with skup8. its confirmed. i just miss-copied a folder previously, thats all. (stuipd me )

Getting this error now when I open SketchUp.
I thought I updated a bunch of Plugins... apparently something went wrong.

I think it is not compatible with sketchup 8 yet. Is there a FredoScale for Skup8?
please update.... I looooooove this tool

thanks Jim.
just got the tool, it is such a useful script!
