...There must be option to disable it

If you disable the extension I believe it's notification ceases...

john

the drawing has issues because nothing is 'grouped'...

if you import and lock your image the geometry won't stick to it nor inherit it's 'material'...

your also painting back faces which can lead to grief...

john

Your looking at 2 different Libraries...

the second is your hard drive which SU hasn't used for years unless you or a rouge plugin makes it...

check in your Home/Library/ from Finder, they are in there...

john

Are the Materials showing in the SU 'Color' Palette?

How did you 'load' them and from where?

john

save regularly and use File >> Revert to 'jump' back to that last save...

no other way I know of, unless your writing your own ruby scripts...

...The webdialogs still work but I noticed some changes in behavior (scaling issues - maybe due to my crappy code) ...

it may not be your code...

there are reports that v17 sets the version of IE to use in all versions of SU i.e. it has an affect on <v17 as well...

I believe that if you don't have the IE version SU sets then IE will run in compatibility mode for all WebDialogs that don't include meta date...

john

Finally SketchUp has added it's own icons for mac with the release of v17...

not the same quality [imho] but it's native and I can finally stop updating this plugin....

john

Thanks for chiming in Mark H...

shame Windows gets better results than mac, but I guess they have lots of other OS issues outside of SU...

john

@unknownuser said:

...it groups them together, moves the group, then explodes the group...

exploding now deletes all references to the group entities, i.e. they all are 'deleted entities' after the explode...

in one of mine I 'now' store the face.bounds.center.z and then after exploding re-find faces using that as a conditional...

I believe the former ability to 'hold' the reference was a SU 'hack' and some of these are being 'put right'...

john

the 2016 tricks will not work for this or any plugin that cannot be updated to run on Ruby 2.2...

there is no legal way around this for encrypted extensions...

john

@juju said:

...keep IE installed as SketchUp uses it...

SU now uses an embedded version of Chrome and HTMLDialogs, most plugins that use WebDialogs will not be updated to use it yet and still need IE or Safari to be up to date...

john

@pilou said:

But curiously Visualizer not! :shock:

no mystery there, Visualizer would need to be updated to Ruby 2.2 and development was frozen so it won't be...

it is probably a very easy fix if you can talk them into it...

john

hi David...

are you still running SU v8 ?

if so it may be a ruby 2 issue with my example...

I've had no time to follow up on this concept [sorry yoni] ...

john

have you looked at Flatten to Plane?

@unknownuser said:

...such WebDialog is really fully modal as it locks the full screen.

it is a 'faux' modal window, as in 'fake' or 'false'...

@unknownuser said:

The user can only interact with your own controls and even not the system - shortcuts perhaps?

it really only effects the mouse clicks on the dialog
@unknownuser said:

Are minimize and maximize and close buttons hidden? maybe dialog.navigation_buttons_enabled does?

the window buttons that are shown work for the dialog, and cover the SU ones below it...

@unknownuser said:

Html '<title> TOP more= <<MORE </title>'. Never seen such construction. May you explain?

it's ruby HEREDOC and works the same as %Q allowing the use of quotes inside the strings and dynamic content from ruby calls...

it's useful for html as you can have mixed quotes for javascript or css in the strings...

john

yes it works as you expect...

BTW. did you look at this old post in your search http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=418498#p418498, the code would need some updating for ruby2 but it works if I remove the dot in the pathnames...

I did develop the idea further to use in a mac plugin called Add_Icon, it's in the store and not scrambled...

Start debug ------------------------------------------------2.0.0

  Dlg_debug returns true

Start debug ------------------------------------------------2.0.0

  Dlg_debug returns false

your 'debug End' is still being called too early...

did you notice I had moved it in the code for the first gif?

john

it this what your after?

if so you need to move the message box into the callback, or else it shows before the user selection...

here's the code for the first gif...

... I would have liked you to run one time clicking 'continue' button the another clicking 'exit' button then show me the results in your console...

the webDialog works in both scripts, but debug code doesn't write to console when you expect...

it runs on load and returns false because you haven't defined @is_ok

Start debug ------------------------------------------------2.0.0
Dlg_debug returns false
--------------------------------------------------------debug End

you need to add a timer if you want to wait for the dlg's action callback...

john

I reformatted your code so I could follow it, and pre-defined @is_ok...

it appears to work as far as I can follow what you might want...

Start debug ------------------------------------------------2.0.0
call main_method()
main_method() entry point
..first true
....second false
......class initializeentry
......1967
......add_callback
......load_dialog entry
......show_modal back
......isOk waiting
....Dlg_debug returns true
--------------------------------------------------------debug End

........callback true
........isOk true
........close
