This is a marvelous idea - SketchUp has needed this sought of control of layers for a long time. BUT .....It makes my version of SketchUp (2013) very unstable to the point of being unusable. I have had to uninstall the plugin.

Am I doing something wrong?

What are you experiencing, exactly ?

@kct3937 said:

Too bad it doesn't work in OSX. Looks like a good plugin. Now if it worked on a real operating system….just imagine.

Dave Richards might quit looking in a mirror.

Please don't come here to troll...
The reason why it doesn't work on your "real" OS is because Safari handles javascript requests higgledy-piggledy. JS sends a bunch of informations to ruby, and safari says "oh well, let's just put all of this into the trash and keep only the last one".
So much for a real OS.

Even though I'm happy to take request, I primarily develop this plugin for myself. And I don't really like MacOS (The OS itself, Apple's politic, etc...), so I'm not really motivated to develop Layers Panel for it. Guess what? People coming here smugly, telling me that their OS is superior, and should be the one and only, don't really motivate me much more!

my actual project I can't see layer list with your plugin.

Try to change scene.

I guess I could do that, thanks
But still not dockable, though

You're not the first to experience this.
Could you send me the file by PM ? (Even with all the content deleted, keeping only the layers) The best would be a version of the file that was never saved since LP was installed.

@dancho said:

Secont, will be fine that you can put a possibility to show/hide panel like old layer window, click on the top of window.

That's not possible, unfortunatly

Not sure whether since ver. 0.4 or 0.5 but in both SU 8 and SU 2013 Edit->Paste and Ctrl+V do not work when pasting a group/component from another SU file, Edit->Paste in place works though

This started happening for me after ver 0.5

All the time ? With all kind of objects ? Even when LP is closed ?

I really don't see what could cause that... And I can't reproduce it.

1. In SU 8 it displayed the outdated IE version message and did not allow the scroll. Since ver. 0.5 it does not display this message but only shows render engines in the window and no layers or layer groups at all. In SU 2013 this problem does not exist.

What's your IE version ?

2. Not sure whether since ver. 0.4 or 0.5 but in both SU 8 and SU 2013 Edit->Paste and Ctrl+V do not work, Edit->Paste in place works though. Removing the plugin files from SU Plugins folder resolved the problem in both SU 8 and SU 2013. Also renaming layers in the native SU Layers window sometimes caused bugsplat with the plugin installed in SU 2013.

Weird. Does it work when Layers Panel is installed but closed ?

@bob james said:

I would go so far as to request that auto-update be the default

No, I think most users expect SU's native functions to behave as usual.

Bug found : When a group is moved to be nested in another group, we can't rename it. We have to restart Layers Panel.
Working on a fix.

Working on it

@elibjr said:

Any thought to adding Render[in], IRender-nXt or Shaderlight to the list? This is such a great plugin! Thank you for all your work.

Same case as Thea, I have to contact the developers.

Maybe the order they were created ? (Which is SU's default)

@plesiosaur said:

Any plans to add Thea to the Render list? Thanks

See this :

@jiminy-billy-bob said:

Actually, if it works with Thea on day, it'll behave differently. You will probably have an option directly inside Thea allowing you to choose if you want to render with Layers Panel feature or not. But you won't render from within Layers Panel as you do with Vray/Maxwell/etc. This is due to the way Thea is designed. I can't trigger the render from my plugin.

I gave evrything to Tomasz to make it work, the ball is on his side now So if you badly want this feature, you should get in touch with him !

@cmeed said:

-All groups gone

The groups unique IDs are still present in your file, but they are not listed by Layers Panel serialized string. Don't know why...
Were layers still sorted, or did they revert back to Sketchup's default sorting ?

Did anyone else experienced this ?

New version 0.5.1 beta !

Changelog :

• Fix gap at the top when hiding the render toolbar

Download in the plugin store !

@jiminy-billy-bob said:

Also, I see that the menu button is invisible on IE9, I'll try to fix it.

Can anyone confirm this ?

@jql said:

make that optional

Ho yeah I will, don't worry
But I myself find usefull that scenes are NOT auto-updated.

Oh well, I already use that to track layer's visibility and name changes.
I'm interested in tracking page updates. I guess I'll use exactly the same method

Also, I see that the menu button is invisible on IE9, I'll try to fix it.

@cmeed said:

updating a scene using a shortcut (in my case 'p')with Layer Panel Open now works - great stuff
Cheers

Great ! Don't know what was causing that, but I'm glad you don't have the issue anymore.
