Overview of MrHide

REQUIREMENTS:

Sketchup version: SU2017 and above
Platform: Windows and Mac OSX
LibFredo6: v14.3b or above
Usage: Free

MrHide is a toolbar allowing a direct access to some functions of Sketchup which have no dedicated icon or are more cumbersome to access.

In the first version, the functions are related to showing / hiding visual elements in SketchUp, most of them being style and scene parameters

Hidden geometry, Hidden objects, Back Edges
axes, component axes, dimensions, guides, text labels
shadow, sun shading, fog
ground, sky
Edge visibility, Edge profiles, Edge endpoints, Edge color by Material, Edge color by Axis
Edit Component: show other instances and show rest of the model
Colors by tag/layer

In addition to the toolbar, there is a Quick Launcher which can be pinned / unpinned. It also allows to select which icons are visible in the toolbar.

The original idea comes from JClements, who also designed all the icons. Many thanks to him.
