Hi Thomthom, thanks again for an awesome plugin. I have an idea for a feature that some might find useful if they're doing visualization work - vertically stacked text (like the following, perhaps). 
Any way, just a thought! Thanks for creating so many awesome tools, it's inspiring. I'm slowly learning code, and it's great to see what you've written. Thanks! Matt

Capture.PNG FWIW, you can already make vertically stacked text. It would be nice to be able to control things like leading and kerning, though.

i downloaded and installed you plugin an TT_Lib_v2.8.3.rbz but then, when sketchup was launched, a message said i have to download TT_Lib2-2.8.0.rbz so i uninstalled TT_Lib_v2.8.3.rbz and installed TT_Lib2-2.8.0.rbz and then it worked you did a great job you managed to make a multilines editor... would it be possible to ...? have the 3d text in a red/blue plan, instead of red/green? i would like to use your plugin to add comments to a scene, one comment per scene; usually, the camera is oriented so that vertical objects appear vertical So, it would be easier to read if the text was in the red/blue plan.

no, i just realised that you can change the plan by writing on a face of the model; so to write vertically, you just have to find a vertical face in the model

Whaaat? You shouldn't need to downgrade. Are you on Windows by any chance? Maybe you ended up with some files in VirtualStore... How did you install it?

Dave/TT - I'm glad to hear it's already capable, but here's the embarrassing part:I can't figure out how to do it  . I've updated to the most recent version, but maybe I have an older version floating around in Virtual Store or something? Thanks! EDIT - Ok I'm stupid. I just realized what you meant @Dave.  download screenshot

Matt, I hope this doesn't embarrass you further. Try using Enter between typing the letters.  I setting Align to Center. You may need to play with the leading (spacing) between the letters after you've created the text but that will depend upon the font you choose. Edit: You edited your post while I was typing.  Now you've got it and if anyone asked, it was a great day because you learned something.

Haha no worries Dave. I've frequently found that publicly making a fool of myself is the best way to learn, and I'm ok with that  I'm sure you experienced programmers will have a good laugh when I finally get around to releasing an actual plugin.

I really like the plugin but have a couple of things I would like for it to do (if possible): 1. I would like for it to remember my selections (font, size, alignment, etc.) so that I do not have to go through the selections everytime. 2. I would like to be able to specify the color (both face and outline if possible). In fact, it would be great if there was a way to eliminate the outline. I have a lot of text to enter in my model and it is a pain to go eliminate the outline all of the time.

I suppose he means he's hiding the edges.
@ntxdave, how is it that you current "eliminate the outline" on 3D text?

Switch to wireframe style, Edit Component (the 3d text), select of the text, hide the text, then switch the style back to shaded with textures. This results with only the "face" of the text (if you colored it - which I do with the pain bucket tool). While this works, it is a pain when you have a lot of text components in the model (which I do). Thus the desire to have the ability to do these additional things.

I just tried again on 2 different machines and #1 does not work for me. I really wish it did. I have also emailed these items to TT.

Hi Thom,
When I edit a rotated 3D text object, it bounces to a new position and resets it's rotation... On the other hand if I have multiple instances, only the one I select to edit bounces and changes rotation, while the others maintain their position...

Should the file path be .../SketchUp%202013/...? Could that be a problem?

It is... but the string breaks at the % because it can't fit in the dialog. The error is that the font-list is empty so the js can't work with it... So something is stopping the font-list getting made... or at least 'displayed' in the dropdown... Perhaps the dropdown making code is at fault - that's why the newest Lib is required as that has reused methods for that kind of thing...
Assuming it is... In tt's code if the fonts-list that the code tries to make is 'empty' it then uses a default fonts-list anyway... So there should be fonts listed ?? It does seem to be making some 3d text using Arial [?]... So it suggests that you have somehow mis-installed the toolset's files ? Is there any Windows Explorer > Compatibility Files / VirtualStore issues ? Do you have FULL Security permissions to read/write files to the Plugins folder ?

I wasn't thinking of the line break in the dialog box but rather the %20 instead of a space. Maybe it doesn't matter in this case.

Uh, seems a little complex... 1. I'm login as administrator, so I think I have full security permissions to read/write files to the Plugins folder. 2. All plugins are auto-installed in the sketchUcation store, so I think the "mis-installed" question doesn't exist. 3. As for the "Windows Explorer > Compatibility Files / VirtualStore issue", I have no idea

Being logged in as administrator does not assure full permissions to the Plugins folder are granted. You need to check that and change it if permissions are not granted. Not that complex.
