I’m in the final stage of preparing the release of 5D+ Plus v2.0!

I’d like to share a couple of smaller but fun updates:

Instead of pressing Ctrl+Enter, you can now click on the red or green button when adjusting View Bounds.

The classifications with auto-create child groups will be highlighted in bold. The tag assigned to each child group can be customized in the Custom Settings.

These are just little extras — the big improvements are still coming in v2.0. Thanks for your patience, the release is right around the corner! :rocket:

Hello.
Regarding Level Labels, 5D+ version 2.0.3.

It`s fantastic that we are now able to pick a referencing level for Level Labels!
But I could not get it working..:frowning: Doesn’t matter which reference I picked, I always get the same label, always relating to SU model origin.
I had already reset all labels to default.
Am I missing something?
Attached are screenshots from a small test project.

I have released 5D+ Plus 2.0.4 to fix the issue with Level Label and Relative Level recently. You can check for update to use this version.

I’m working on new feature that allows customizing column grids.

And here is the first looks.

How do you think?

Great that you tackle non-ortho grids!
Comment:
I probably would rarely use the controls that I have highlighted in yellow in the screenshot below. It would be hard to control the angle of the oblique gridline to perfectly go through the centre of columns. (I would rather use the other method of drawing lines and then convert to a 5D+ grid)

5D+ Scene Manager (Version 2.0.9)

Hello. I am confused why some of my scenes are listed twice, in different folders.
That`s probably not the intended UI, is it?

Yes, it’s just a bug in UI. This happens sometime when dragging a scene into a category. I’ll fix this bug in the next release.

Looks like a really useful extension. Automating scenes, grids, labels, and DXF exports directly from SketchUp can save a ton of time. Definitely something worth checking out if you do construction drawings often.
