Nice.

Can you also update the title of this thread?

Thanks for the reminder All updated now.

I have just released Version 2.2.0 of the plugin. It contains bug fixes for all known outstanding issues. I recommend that you upgrade as it contains a fix for the the key bug which can cause replacements to fail silently on larger models.

You can download it from the usual place.

Thank you for such a plug in. I notice that in the download page, there is still v1.0 icon with hyperlink, when you click it, it opens a blank error page...

Anyway, I succeed to download by clicking little arrow but I just want you know about that v1.0 issue,

Thanks again!

Very glad you find it useful

The v1.0 is a "feature" of file attachment widget I use to upload the files. It specifies the version of the file, not the the application. As I only uploaded the .rbz file once file versuon is v1.0. As you say you have to click the little arrow to download the file.

Unfortunately I cannot switch it off.

Did the plugin work for you?

All of the fence originally had a transparent material. I changed them all to the chain-link fence material. I just used the default selections.

Did you select the "Front Faces" and "Back Faces" check boxes at the bottom of the screen under "Apply to"? None of these are selected by default.

For those that are interested here is a link to my call buffer implementation to get past the call synchronisation problem on a MAC.

Works pretty well and fixes the last bug I had on the MAC. I will now tidy up and release the new version tomorrow.

Hi Bob, I have just done the same test with the current release version. 2.1.1 and it also worked. It would also help if you can send a screen shot so I can see which settings you used.

This is the file I used

Thanks Bob. Which material did you try and replace and with what? Which options did you select "Apply to" section? I just replaced metal128 with beige on Front faces, Back Faces and Edges, and that worked fine on the latest bug fix version.

This could be due to the object_id bug for large models where the id's can get garbage collected. I have fixed this already and will release shortly, but a sample model would be useful or at least some info on where the material was applied to, what settings you used etc.

Ahaa, the lost manual indeed!

Gone!

Thanks TIG!

I will release an update soon. Mainly fixing the outstanding bugs on the MAC.

A special thanks to @driven and @cmd for helping me debug this remotely!

I have learned the following about Sketchup WebDialog on a MAC:

• Calls from JS to Ruby, i.e. window.location.href = "skp:xxx" are not synchronous on the MAC, nor are they buffered. In short this means that you can loose calls if they are made in quick succession. I had to create a JS side call stack/event pump

• you need to pre-pend the file protocol "file:///" to the start of file paths for them to load on the MAC
