Thank you!

I get an error on loading with the newest version on SU2016, both when installed via Extension Store and manually:

Error Loading File s4u_makeface/s4u_makeface_loader.rb
Could not find included file 's4u_makeface/s4u_makeface_loader.rb'

Alright, here's what I got so far:

When I start Sketchup with AMS Lib and Window Settings active, at first everything works fine. As I begin playing around with different tools, both native SU and from extensions, after a short time, tools begin to stay highlighted in the toolbar (only native SU toolbars in SU 2016, as tools in other toolbar are not highlighted at all in this version) even after changing to another tool, and then shortly after SU will crash when right-clicking, mostly on a group or component, I believe, and possibly only with a non-native tool active.

It does not happen with just AMS Lib active and Window Settings disabled in Sketchucation Plugins/Extensions Manager, but as no other plugin depends on it, I guess it could be the cause, as well.

Anyone else noticed that when using a tool from any toolbar other than those native to SU, it is no longer highlighted in the toolbar? This even includes the extension toolbars that come with it, like Sandbox Tools and Dynamic Components. Not a big deal, but a little puzzling indeed.

Wow, cool plugin, I can't believe I never noticed it before and I'm surprised how old it already is... but it still works fine in SU2016. Though I can't get it to make multiple copies with a single click (using the tutorial on the first page of this thread) and I discovered that as soon as I change the camera position (zooming is fine) it starts again with the first component. Not big issues though and it's a very useful plugin!

Hello Pherim. I tried to reproduce the crash or inconsistent cursor changing behavior with AMS Library 3.0.1, but, similarly to your trial, I couldn't. It is very likely that such bug persisted in version 3.0.0, but not in the current version, 3.0.1. But to be sure, I'll keep an eye on the library.

Hello,

it happened again, now in Sketchup2016, with basically nothing but your plugins installed via Sketchucation tools. I don't know what exactly causes it, but it never happened with AMS Library and Window Settings disabled. I hope you can find the issue and fix it, as I would really like to be able to toggle toolbars and toolbar containers with hotkeys. With SU2016, the new trays which replace the dialog windows can natively be toggled with hotkeys, which is a very good addition in my opinion.

but where to download this?

Plugin Store.

Hello,

1. I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64bit and the newest version of Sketchup Make 2015 64bit.
2. Yes, both plugins were up to date. I am completely sure about this as I had to uninstall both and then reinstall them via the plugin store to make it work at all... just updating both plugins somehow did not work, as I wrote in the post before. I also updated it to 3.0.1 after I wrote this post.
3. I am not entirely sure, and right now I am unable to reproduce the crash... it's just that I noticed suddenly that when I changed the tool the cursor would not change as it was supposed to, and also the old tool would still be highlighted in the toolbar. And then, as soon as I right-clicked on a component (well, at least it was a component or group at least some of the times it happened), Sketchup crashed instantly. Well, at the moment it doesn't seem to happen even with your plugins active, but I'll be on guard about it.
4. Quite a lot I'm afraid... Though so far, they all worked fine together, and so did the old versions of your plugins.

At the moment everything seems to be fine. If this changes, I'll get in touch again.

I am not entirely sure, because I have not used SketchUp very much recently, but this plugin could be causing crashes for me, since I only noticed this happening after I installed the new version and it seems to have stopped since I deactivated it (and the Windows Settings plugin with it).

Hello, when I updated to 3.0.0 WindowsSettings didn't work any more, I had to delete both AMS Lib and WindowSettings and reinstall them to make it work again. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else has this problem.

Which game engine is it you want to export the textures to? For Unity, Source and CryEngine, there is the PlayUp Tools plugin, which resizes the textures on export, at least for Unity - or maybe Unity does it by itself, I don't know, really. As for the other engines, I can't tell you how they handle it.

Great, thanks!

Alright, I just installed ONLY TT_Lib v2.10.2 on my laptop and not Cleanup v3.3.1 and Solid Inspector² v2.3.4 and the same thing happened again: Only Pickit (and Similar Objects, which I don't have installed on my desktop) remains in the "ThomThoms Plugins" Menu, all your other plugins are just in the Extensions Menu now. Am I the only one with this problem?

I use Thrupaint (included in FredoTools) and SketchUV and can do almost everything uv-related I want. SketchUV allows export of UVs to edit them with external applications and re-import them, and there also is the already mentioned UV editor by Marginal which is in a very early state but still useful.

Windows 7 Professional 64bit, Sketchup Make 2015 64bit.

(The ones with the .rb! extension are deactivated with Sketchucation Plugins Manager)

Not as far as I know. I used the Sketchucation Plugin Store to install them and until now everything worked fine.

Hello,

I just installed CleanUp v3.3.1, Solid Inspector 2.4.3, and TT Library 2.10.2 and now ThomThom's Menu doesn't work any more, apparently. Only PickIt remains in the Menu, all other plugins are scattered around the Extensions Menu, which also breaks some of my Shortcuts.

This answer actually made me find a way to do it with Thomthom's selection Toys:

First I use Select --> All on selected layers to select everything, including edges and faces inside groups and components. Then I use Select Only --> Front Default Material so that only faces without textures are selected. Groups, Components and Edges remain selected, however, so if I use the paint bucket to give my selection a texture (so that I can find the faces I am looking for with Material Maintenance), I paint these too and Material Maintenance selects them as well. Therefore I use sketchUV (with the untextured faces selected) to assign its placeholder texture to them by right-click --> Planar Map (view). Now it's easy to find these Faces with Material Maintenance, and as it is very eye-catching with it's colors and numbers, even just by looking at the model.

It sounds a little complicated when I explain it here, but it's actually quite convenient. Thanks for your help!

I know this is old, but the problem remains... at least I am unaware of a way to do this. Is there a plugin which allows selection or isolating all untextured faces (in the entire model, including groups and components)? Like Material Maintenance does, but that plugin can only find faces with certain textures, not untextured ones.

Hello, I would like to have a version of this plugin (or another plugin) that only explodes all curves in the selection and also inside groups or components, but leaves the groups and components intact.
