SKETCHUP LAYERS ATTACHING TO OTHER LAYERS HOW TO

It’s the part of the SU+LO ecosystem that that needs a lot of specific instruction, otherwise people can go years using Sketchup (dabbling, really) before fully understanding how to organise a model and get decent-looking drawings out of LO. module SBunhide def self.unhideall count 0 ents. It will not change the visible status of layers/tags.

In my 17yrs sketchup experience (including as a tutor) I’ve witnessed a large majority of new users completely struggle to understand the realtionship between groups, components, layers/tags, styles and scenes (especially). If you enter the following into the SketchUp Ruby Console Window it will clear the hidden flag on all entities in your model, including all nested objects and geometry. Surely it’s been considered whether SU objects coudl belong to multple Tags at the same time (i dont see why not)? then give Tags panel a filter?

This misuse is almost certain to lead to very confusing issues with visibility. You have 9691 edges and faces associated with layers other than Layer0. Edit 2: you also are not using SketchUp layers correctly. open the Ruby console and type: layersColor(r,g,b) where r, g, and b are 3 integers from 0 to 255 (the 3 RGB coordinates of the color), e.g. This is a perfect example of a case where layers would work better. Then the by Layer rule kicks in and overrides this for all layers that have a Pattern setting attached to them. hide the layers you want to change the color.

“Tags” I would expect are something you might drag and drop onto a selection of JPGs or MP3s (lol) and assign multiple tags, like adding keywords/metadata. download attached ZIP, unzip it in your Plugins folder.

Kinda like a script which could be assigned a keyboard shortcut.

And then let Skp do what it normally does when doing the above steps the manual way. ie, it’s a list of names that have an order to them and some visibility and style overrides.ĪutoCAD has Layer Filters, which is more similar to SU’s Tags. selecting all layers in the layer tray/stack (except Layer 0 which would be current) delete all layers (and when prompted choose to ’ Move contents to default layer). Fix: workaround for SketchUp installations that had another plugin overwrite the ruby standard library. I skim-read this so not sure if it’s been mentioned…īut yes…we have “Tags” but the interface/panel that’s used to assign them and apply styles (both in SU and LO) looks and behaves very much like the interface one would find in Photoshop, Autocad, etc. Fix: Old Skalp Pattern Layers are converted correctly.
