Is there an Auror here? I tried several times to buy the plugin but:
I wrote on priv but … no answers. I’m starting to wonder if it’s even worth it. With customer service like this…
Hi, I apologize for this issue. I will review the settings for the region and territory on Gumroad. Due to the time difference, I couldn’t respond earlier. I appreciate your understanding.
Ok. I’m from Polamd but now I am in Sweden. Also my bank is from Sweden. Maybe this is important. And one question: can you have a plan make Gizmo for older versions?
Curic’s Gizmo uses 2023’s new overlay feature so can’t work for previous versions.
I use the new API in SketchUp 2023 called Overlay to create a Gizmo. It allows for “always display” functionality even when using any native tool. This is important because you won’t need to activate the Gizmo (via shortcuts or toolbar clicks like other tools before). It’s an entirely new way of using the tool, which will change the user experience and bring more new features for native tools.
This I know.
So, then no, I understund? Because you can probably “rewrite” the extension code on the old API? Of course, without the permanent display function. I think many would buy it.
And what with payment issue?
Greetings,
I would appreciate any piece of advice concerning impossibility to customize Pie Dock (View?). The item is missing in the Pie Menu Manager as on the attached picture.
After having updated your plugin - Pie menu I have the pictured below state (Menu Manager)
My goal is to regain the ability to customize the Pie Dock (View).
Thank you in advance,
My Pie Manager:
One from an instruction clip:
Greetings,
It seems that Curic has gone quiet.
I’ve tried to contact him by email a few times.
I’ve installed the new version of Piemenu 2.
In both Su 2026 and 2027, the native section/plane function DOES NOT WORK.
When I press the button, Piemenu automatically switches to the default Curic View, and nothing happens apart from a brief flash of the blue outline of the cutting plane.
I would be grateful for any help in resolving this issue.
Many thanks in advance
I haven’t used Pie for some time but I just downloaded and installed the latest version.
I don’t understand what you are trying to do – can you provide a gif or some screenshots?
Thank you for your reply.
There’s nothing to illustrate, really.
It’s simply that when Curic Piemenu is disabled, the native SU Section Plan works as usual.
Once Curic Piemenu is enabled, this SU function simply does not work. Clicking on the SU Section Plane icon does nothing.
However, Curic Section does work.
My aim is to use the SU Section Plan (from Curic Piemenu) in general situations.
Update:
As shown in the animation above, it turns out that when the cursor moves across the Curic Piemenu toolbar, it loses the Section Plane.
When the Section toolbar (Su’s native toolbar) is positioned in the centre of the screen and there are no obstructions in the form of the Curic toolbar, the cursor is able to position the Section Plane within the model without any problems.
The create Section Plane tool works for me.
However, what I have noticed is that if I activate the create Section Plane tool and then I hover the cursor over any part of the Pie menu overlays, the Section Plane tool is deactivated.
Thank you.
This seems to confirm that Curic Piemenu is indeed at fault in this regard.
I have observed this very situation, reported it, and am waiting – perhaps in vain – for a response from the plugin’s author.
All the more so as it is a paid plugin.
I haven’t used Pie, but I remember encountering a Ruby Console error/warning when using Curic Gizmo in SU 2024. It was something like:
`no model changes should be made during overlay callbacks`
IIRC, it had to do with SketchUp restricting model changes during overlay callbacks.
Curic Gizmo uses a workaround where its tool activates when you hover over the gizmo and then “pops” off when you move the cursor away, returning control to the previously active tool.
Something similar may be happening with Pie. In your clip, the Section tool appears to be active (white cursor), but when you hover over the Pie menu/toolbar, the cursor changes to black, suggesting the active tool has changed or been suspended.
Paul’s observation seems consistent with this, too.
So it works if you activate the Section tool and then **don’t hover over the Pie menu**?
If so, I suspect Pie may be using a similar tool activation/deactivation mechanism to Curic Gizmo. I can’t say whether avoiding the Ruby error was Curic’s motivation, or if subsequent SketchUp Ruby API changes to later SU versions are involved, but the behavior looks familiar. This might not be a ‘bug in the Pie’, so to speak, but a limitation with SketchUp’s handling of overlays and active tools.
Thank you for your ample elucidation.
Hi GTh,
Sorry for the delayed response, and thank you for reporting this and sharing the steps. Thanks to Paul for confirming it too.
I’ve tested it and can confirm the bug: the native Section Plane tool is deactivated when the cursor passes over the Pie Menu overlay.
I’ll investigate the cause and work on a fix. Thanks for your patience.
