There are several threads about this issue on the official Trimble forum. Seems like you have to temporary disable your WindowsDefender to 'fix' this. Some strange technical thingie I can't reproduce.

There isn't a specific forum for web versions, so ask what you need and people will answer.

I'm curious, why would SUPro2022 ask for a Classic License when it no longer supports it?

There are some special cases in which SketchUp 2022 can be opened using what looks like a classic license. They don't sell those licenses of course but they can generate them for outside parties such as beta testers.

Hi Ken!

How are you getting on with Curic Studio? I purchased the plugin last week. Just a question, does Curic Studio works offline for you as well? It crashes Sketchup each time, I have no internet connection.

Would be great to hear from you!

Thanks for the info.

Greetings,

After having installed Menu Pie and other Curic extensions I have somme conflict issues.

Please advise.
Thank you in advance

PS 1
Is there any way to get email contact to a extension author (Curic)?

PS 2 Laste version of Su and Vray used (6.2)

Perhaps you need to contact the author of Deep Select and see if there's an update for it. I don't use it so can't comment.

Thanks for this information, we are JUST starting to use our 2021 version and and i was having the same problem. I know this and the other changes mentioned here are written down somewhere. can you direct me to that list?

Thanks, TIG

So, I wanted "lock by layer" moved up in the menu structure. Change name from lockbylayer.rb to A lockbylayer.rb. Also changed the code "file loaded" to the new name.

Moved up and still works.

This was not obvious just by looking at the plugins in the plugin directory.

Anyway, got it fixed. Would really like this plugin to be a toolbar plugin.

And thanks TIG.

Works for me as
lock by layer

However it is often easier to search for just a word and and scroll through what comes up.
I found this by just searching in the store for 'lock'

Edit: a quick tip incase you are using the search box at the top of the page. That searches the forum.
Click PluginStore just below it and search there.

Well TIG thanks for the reply.

I guess I will need to be more careful. One thing I did notice after that disaster, I tried to find all the places that I had added the Guides_Proxies and I guess I didn't find all the guides. Because when I exported to a 3d DWG, I saw areas that had the text, "Guide to Proxies" in my 3d CAD file. They were scattered all about the model. In the SketchUp file, I tried everything I could to locate these "guides" but couldn't locate or make visible these wondering "guides"

Anyway, thanks to reply and help.

Now just use your "plugin master" weight/charm to make the SketchUp team to make TAGs undeletable.

The above was humor. Not good humor, however, meant in jest.

Ahhh.... I see. That red and blue. Fortunately in this case I don't believe there is anything political implied.

Entirely my pleasure.

Dave

Thanks.

Well, I found the problem. The screen was not maximized to the fullest. It looked like it filled the total screen area, but When I made the screen smaller, it still behaved the same way. I went to ver 2020, made the screen smaller and it incorrectly behaved like version 2021. Then I made the screen full screen in 2020, and it behaved correctly. Went to 2021. Made the screen smaller than full scale. And now it works.

Again, thanks for the help.

Thanks. I had looked at the style setting and just didn't see it.

Now, to finish my work.

OK. I think I get what you want. You want to lock components and groups that have the same layer tag. It wouldn't actually be that the layer tag is locked since that doesn't really make any sense.

Since it would be the groups and components that are getting locked, why not look in Outliner? There you can see what's locked and what isn't.

I will do that TIG. I didn't do it after I made the correction, because the plugin wasn't mine and Jim over the years has made me a couple of life-saving plugins.

I am not a code writer. I am sure others will find this not the optional solution, however, it does work for me. I would like to see this plugin modified so it is correct for 2019 and future versions of Sketchup but don't wish to step on anyone's toes.

See the attached PDF document to see how I modified the directory "Toolbars" to make the plugin work.

The short answer is I moved the plugin "Loader.rb" from the directory "Files" to the directory "Toolbars"
