![]() ![]() A real shame, because SU also appears to have been written in Apple Cocoa. This behaviour from SketchUp again, is inconsistent, as some plug-ins work, and others don't. I'm now worried that if I make a new folder, for a new plug-in for this Layers tool, in my Home directory, instead of the main directory, it's going to screw with SketchUp again, and I'll be back to square one again.Ī well written Mac application mostly allows you to use from whatever directory or file you choose. But in the case of Podium, this wouldn't work at all, as both files need to be taken out and placed in the main plug-in folder. The best thing I've found is to remove the ruby script from the folder and put that in the plug-ins file, then any other ancillary files (such as png's etc) stay in a folder, within that folder. This basic error, fools the SketchUp directory navigation ( viewtopic.php?p=146352#p146352). The Podium installer, for starters, installs on the wrong part of the directory (not necessarily Google's fault, but typical behaviour of a developer who has misunderstood the workings of a Mac OS, like coming straight from a better understanding of a Linux one (or Windows in this case, but Mac OS X is NOT Linux, and directories behave very differently to Linux directories! Cappiche?). It's almost as if there is someone in the Mac programming dept at Google who really couldn't give a dingo's kidneys, and has consequently failed to deliver guidelines to all those planning to write ruby scripts for Mac SketchUp. This depresses me, because I have to sit here messing with folder combinations, until it works, which means less money (not that I'm getting any money anyway! ), but worse still, prevents me from doing what I love most, designing things. It seems to me that there really IS a problem with plug-in management with SU and Mac OS X, and where scripts should go. You get a pointer to the Layers object from within the Model. ![]() The Layers collection allows you to see and manage all of the layers in a model. The API retains the use of Layer for compatibility and is synonymous with Tag. Podium is worse, because it uses an installer script, which also makes a SU6 folder, which confuses SU even more! Developers, why can't we just install this ourselves? As of SketchUp 2020 Layers were renamed to Tags in the UI. This is also how Podium works, and it screws with OS X's directory. Any particular reason for this?Īha!! Yes! Indeed (need to try this yet too). folder rather than the HD/library/applications/. I'll be on holidays in Croatia until Aug 19th so don't except quick bug fixes, but please leave your comments and bug reports here, I'll look at them when i'll be back.īob James wrote:Curious fact however: this new version only works if I install it in my users/library/application/.
