@fredo6 Yes. Disabling the toolbars fixes the issue.

At least on my setup, the TAB cycles through the Tags and Shadows toolbars. Disabling them both makes the New Dimensions dialog open on the first TAB.

But I kinda use those toolbars

I guess I'll stick to having to press tab a lot for now. Or right click and go on with the context menu option.

If is there anything I can do to help fix this, shoot me a msg.

Confirmed it happens here on 26.0.429 Win 64-bit (which is the latest version according to the site) Windows 10 with the latest updates installed.

I've been doing some tests and it seems like the TAB key is making random stuff get focused inside Sketchup itself, like the Tags toolbar for example. Here's a gif showing the issue. I'm pressing TAB and space to make the Tags toolbar pop up.

EDIT 1: Here's a gif showing the error. I hope it helps.

EDIT 2: I think I've nailed it down to the toolbars. When I hide all the toolbars, it works on the first TAB.

@Rich-O-Brien @Mattshiggins

I'm having the same issue here. I've tried uninstalling all other extensions and plugins and running Sketchup without any other apps in the background and I still get the same thing.

Is there a way to check what is getting focused when I press tab, maybe? To try and find what's stealing the focus?

EDIT: or maybe change that tab key to something else that doesn't cause the issue?

@fredo6 Thanks for replying and sorry for hijacking the thread

Sorry I forgot to mention I was hovering over a scale handle when I was pressing TAB already. I still have to press TAB 5 times (or press SHIFT+TAB or CTRL+TAB) for the dialog to appear.

I've just tried deleting all other plugins, leaving only libfredo, sketchucation and fredoscale and it still behaves the same, unfortunately.

If you need me to provide a log or something, I'd be happy to. Just tell me how.

@fredo6 Is this TAB bug still a thing?

I've just installed Fredo Scale 3.6a on Sketchup 26..0.429 and I have to press TAB 5 times to make the dimension dialog to appear.

Is there any workaround?

Edit: hovering the cursor over a corner and pressing shift+TAB works for opening the "New Dimensions" dialog window. I guess it's a usable workaround for now.

Why is this happening again, tho? I don't remember it being an issue with SU 2023

I think there's a bug with the latest version. The toolbar buttons work, but the extension is missing from the toolbar altogether. My keyboard shortcuts for the functions don't work anymore.

I've manually loaded an older version of the extension and there was a "Tools > Layer Manager" item.

I've also tried doing a clean install of Sketchup Pro 2023 with only the Layer Manager extension installed and it still wouldn't work.

Any thoughts?

Excellent tip. Worked perfectly!

Many thanks!

Sorry to bring the thread back alive, but is there a way to make a shortcut for the Generate Faces context menu item!?

Sadly, it doesn't show on SU's preferences window.

Nothing comes up on the Ruby console. No errors or other messages.

I'm on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate edition.

Despite of the not changing field, the aspect of the viewport seems to be changed. I can get the ratio correctly on the "Output" tab of V-Ray. I tried rendering with just the aspect ratio of the Output matching the SU's (left the Zoom field of V-Ray unaltered: 1.00 ) and it kinda worked as expected.

Maybe we don't need to mess with the zoom anymore? Can you confirm that, Thom?

I believe SU version 8.0.16846 broke this plugin. I type in the aspect ratio on the box and I can see the grey frame on my viewport but the V-Ray zoom indicator doesn't change at all.
