Great work here.
Something I noticed. When setting the menubar invisible, the Dialog settings pop up.
When closing, the menubar is visible again. No chance to hide the menubar like the statusbar?
You got a pm

Well, it shows up to give a way back to set-up the menubar again. If want to remove menubar, without dialog showing up then use commands, write in ruby console:
AMS::Sketchup::MenuBar.maintain(true or false)

For more commands, see first post

thanks for this update.
A small error.
In option: Owned Popups - "Show / Hide" does not work correctly.
When you hide and show, the windows can not be uncoupled and refitted.

The issue was already reported, and I don't seem to have success in fixing it
Working on it..

[jorge2011]

sorry, but that option is the same option of the menu: Window> hide dialog boxes?
in your plugin is just adding an access to this function. no?

Hi,

This is awesome! I am soon to be finishing another of my plugins called "Key Scene" and this will greatly enhance it...Thank you so much!

Anton, this is amazingly helpful! I teach Sketchup as well as being a heavy user in Architecture, and I do a lot of screencasts for my students. I got really tired of turning all my plugins off and moving my toolbars all over whenever I had to record. Now, I don't ever have to again!

Just wanted to say a VERY sincere thanks, you've saved me hours and hours of tedious work that goes completely unnoticed to everyone but me

[Pete]

I am really benefiting from using this plugin!! I really appreciate the work you are doing!! Thank you for sharing.

Here is an idea for a feature: can the dialog height for the component options window be overridden to use the entire height of the screen above the windows task bar?

Demonstration:

[Anton_S]

Hello Pete,

Component Options is a tool, written by Google SketchUp. I honestly have no rights modifying the way its dialog interacts. Change it would probably end me in the SketchUp jail, well, unless I already violated enough dialogs. It would be great if you post your suggestion to the SU Wishes or somewhere in that category, they'd probably be convinced with it

[CadFather]

on the other hand, i guess you could use winsize (it's a must for windows users anyway)

http://winsize2.sourceforge.net/en/index.html


the drawback is that it resizes a window by its name, so if you have the palette called 'components',
and you set it to 900x500 pixels, that will also resize the window's folder by the same name when you are browsing in explorer.

[Pete]

CadFather, winsize is doing just what I want!! Thank you.

In case someone has a native SketchUp way to do this I have moved this discussion to http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=52060

Yep, I just changed the subject plugin from SU Window Settings to Sketchup FullScreen so that it describes the right way.

[Rich O Brien]

This is one of those essentials for SketchUp

Anton deserves some PayPal karma for this plugin.

The latest version is a winner. Well done

How do you do! This how do localization into Chinese, I can't find the related file that is the correct file

This looks like a great help - An idea struck me - there is only so much screen space, Su is very plugin dependent and su is so versatile, it got me thinking - does su let you extend this plugin so you could customise your work area by displaying certain tool pallettes/windows for certain jobs....much like photoshop does
example
custom arrangement1 - Job:organic modelling - vertex tools, artisan- are open
custom arrangement 2 - Job:working in 2d - 2d tools- are open
just a thought...

I guess you want the Chinese translation, right?
I will add it in the newer version

Hmm, so you want to have different project panels? Great Idea!!! I will have to think about that...

Maybe this idea may be incorporated into SketchUcation Plugin Store by Rich O Brien. His plugins manager allows you to enable/disable certain plugins. Maybe Rich could add custom arrangement templates.

[cmeed]

I didn't know about richs' I'll take a look.
cheers

Hi Anton,

Seconding the profiles idea: I'd use a stripped-to-nothing profile for online live-model presentations, and a normal modelling profile.

[unearthed]

Thank again - that's a very time-saving plugin, and it doesn't seem to mess up my normal toolbar/menu settings.
