[Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Maphttp://www.martinrinehart.com/models/ru ... apdoc.html
VisMap 2 replaces both VisMap and VisMap Pro. It's a big improvement for the models that have lots of layers and scenes. Here are a couple samples: That shows how I've added vertical lines and three-line color groups to make it easy to locate individual check boxes. (And, if you're my age, you see that I've reinvented green-bar fanfold.) The next shows the scenes list. It's now a separate window so you can minimize or close it to make more room for the map and your model. Enjoy. http://www.martinrinehart.com/models/ru ... apdoc.html Author, Edges to Rubies - The Complete SketchUp Tutorial at http://www.MartinRinehart.com/models/tutorial.
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapMartin,
I find your VisMap Script pretty useful. I'm currently running VisMap2. ...... One model is a bit troublesome.... 174 Layers, 50 or so Scenes. Its probably the number of Layers that's giving it a headache. ........ I can get the script to run on all the other models I've tried (some also quite big) - apart from this real monster. Unfortunately it won't be possible for me to post you the *.skp file. ........ If you can ever get VisMap to run on even more Layers than present it would be hugely appreciated. ......... Thanks once again for producing this fantastic script Regards Howard L' Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map
Very interesting. As models go, that's certainly huge. But as numbers go, those are small ones. Computer programs tend to break at, for instance, integers that cross 2 billion (the maximum for twos-complement, 32-bit integers). What OS, and exactly what fails? How big is the model and how much RAM is available? Thanks. Author, Edges to Rubies - The Complete SketchUp Tutorial at http://www.MartinRinehart.com/models/tutorial.
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapI downloaded the script and will try it on my woodworking models as I seem to use lots of scenes and layers.
Question: In a ruby script when I know both the layer name and the scene name what would I have to do to add the layer as visible in the scene? Thanks Keith
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map
Scenes are called "Pages" in the API. And just to keep you on your toes, there's a Pages.count method, not Pages.length. Each Page comes with a list of invisible layers. You find the layer you want in this list and delete it from the list. More generally, I don't encrypt my code. You might find the classes I wrote useful.

Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapMartin, happy to see progress on vismap. Can I suggest one thing that can follow your idea of having a better reading of the whole table. Could it be possible to have one scene number with the normal font and the next one with the bold font, in order to have this :
12345678910111213141516171819... This way when the scene number has two digits, it'll be easier to read them. Or maybe find another way to dissociate scene numbers...just an idea... Anyway, thanks for this wonderfull plugin !!
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map
Good idea. They were all bold, but boldface is too fat. Doesn't reduce well. On the other hand, if I alternated two colors, ... Try this. Edit .../Plugins/vismap2/vismap2_main.js. Insert the middle line you see here, at line 83. (Other two lines shown so you can see exactly where it goes.)
I think we'll call this the Panga imProvement. Author, Edges to Rubies - The Complete SketchUp Tutorial at http://www.MartinRinehart.com/models/tutorial.

Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapThank you, Martin. There have been some situations when I get lost among my layers/scenes, so this will be useful.

I now have a project with several scenes for an animation and when I added SketchyPhysics into the mix I had two options: Manually turn off the Physics Joints layer in every single scene... or do it in a couple of click with VisMap.

Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map
what do you mean its not working. Man its working perfectly. This plugin is very efficient if you made your layers properly. Thank you the plugin creator ![]() ![]() ![]() Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Mapnot working to me....

Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapLove organization and simplicity! Thanks Martin
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapIt's not working.
(worst first post ever) Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map![]() ![]() edit: upon having some other issues in SKP, I flushed my plugins folder; visMap now works- I will update again if I can narrow down which plugin caused the conflict ![]() Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapMartin, I get this error when trying to run VisMap 2.
The file has 44 layers and 40 scenes.
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapHi Martin
Great Tool. Would it be possible to extend VisMap 2 to include 'shadows ON/OFF'? In large complex models it would be useful in particular to be able turn off shadows in one or more scenes without having to select, and then wait for the scene to be fully rendered with shadows before you can turn the shadows off. I have models and animations which in the final output need shadows on, but for working and tweaking things the wait for the scene to be fully redrawn is frustrating. What do you think? ![]()
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapHi can anyone help me ?
For some strange reason this tolls has stopped working on my machine all of a sudden ... i activate the tool from plugins menu and nothing happens no dialog box opens nothing why would this happen ? Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Mapok im now getting this message:
Error Loading File vismap2_menu.rb can't convert nil into String Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapHi, I have been using this plugin until 2014 came out. It hasn't been working for sometime. Will there be any future development?
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapMartin gave me the ok to update this for Sketchup 14/15. I might not have time until the weekend.
Hi
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Mapcan you leave out the dated css??

Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map
That's great news Jim. Will look forward to the update. Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map
Same here! Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapHere is version 2.1.
* Updated to work with Ruby 2 versions of SketchUp (version 14 or later.) Use the original version if you want to use Vismap2 on earlier versions of SketchUp. * Made a SketchUp Extension to allow enabling/disabling in extension managers. I am not sure how to handle distribution. I am unable to put it in the Plugins Store under Martin's name. That would make it harder to do further updates. I could post it under my plugins, but not sure if it would cause much confusion. Hi
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map
At some point. Can you help? Do you do Bitbucket/git? Hi
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map
git, a bit... I clone things to my mac, mess about, then panic when it asks if I want to commit changes... I may still even have css for this one, a 'native' os look... john learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...
Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map
works perfectly again in SU15 thank you Re: [Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility MapThank you for updating it! Once again, a very useful tool.
