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.

Ah, sorry for the lack of response back there TIG. I've been sort of away from modeling for a while.

The plugin seems to be working flawlessly now. Perfect. It's one of the plugins i use the most and i had to turn back to an older version i had stored somewhere here when i stumbled upon that problem, so many many thanks for the fix!

Incredibly usefull plugin.

I've found a very annoying bug on the new version on Sketchup 8 Pro though. It used to work great with the previous versions.

It fails to create a new layer and move the group backwards a bit so it appears on the section view. I've tried several combinations of the plugin's preferences and all resulted in the same bug.

Here's what i got on my ruby console window:

Error; #<TypeError; reference to deleted Edge>
C;/PROGRA~2/Google/GOOGLE~3/Plugins/SectionCutFace.rb;361;in `faces'
C;/PROGRA~2/Google/GOOGLE~3/Plugins/SectionCutFace.rb;361;in `initialize'

Hmm... i see.

But, hey, it seems to be working now. After uninstalling, cleaning thoroughly and reinstalling Firefox, it's all working.

Thanks!

I've tried deleting all the cookies from my browser with no use.

Could it be related somehow to the timezone difference between where i am UTC-3 and the one the board uses?

Many thanks for your help, Santiago. That video was very helpful.

It does work in a way. I have all the geometry grouped now, but all in the same layer/with the same colour. So i have to merge the two files (the one with the geometry that has been cut and the one with the geometry in plain view) manually place each block in its respective layer. I need them in separate layers in order to change line widths and to keep it organized.

This ammount of work would be similar to go crazy on boundaries on CAD, making it all on the correct layer from the simple SectionCutEdge layer.

I'm starting to think i'll have to modify the SectionCut Face plugin in order to put things in their respective layers.
