Pie Menu - New Extension

I believe the screenshots and video’s from @curic4su are all made on a Mac, I guess it works for him?
:pie:

I just tested this, confirmed the Pie tool doesn’t work on macOS, on windows works fine. This is a bug of Ruby API

Yep, Almost the entire Pie Menu was developed on a Macbook

If you choose to show the menu at the cursor, you need to give SketchUp permission as instructed, otherwise when calling from the shortcut, the commands that are not in the dock will not be displayed until you move or click the mouse.

Yes @simoncbevans, you need to give piemission😂

For the first time, Curic tools will be delayed because of license check

I will add them in an upcoming update. Currently, in the first release, I focus commands on toolbars because they have an icon :grinning:

I am sure you will come up with some nice looking icons for those ‘commands’ !

It’s a bug and I need to fix it :sweat_smile:

@curic4su thanks for responding so quickly and “coming clean” about the various issues I have encountered. None of them is a killer apart from the loss of Edit functions. If I can’t resolve that, I would have to uninstall the application because I cannot live without things like Paste in Place. I use it all the time. Do you have any idea why I would have lost those functions?

This is what my Edit Menu now looks like with much greyed out:

For me, I will retain keyboard shortcuts for my frequently used tools (native & plugins) and will use the Pie Menu to summon up not so frequent tools.

I can finally get rid of that one side toolbar ( I want a minimal workspace - I already have keyboard shortcuts to bring up various trays ).

I use the v key to paste-in-place ( and the c key to copy )

Mmm, but not quite the same is it? Using Ctrl-V will bring back a copy but then you have to place it. The point about Paste in Place is that it remembers its original location and puts it back there. So if I want to move something between groups, say, I use Ctrl-X to Cut and Paste in Place to put it back in the original location but inside a different group.

yes… I use v to paste-in-place ( no ctrl ) - have I missed something?

Not if you set that up as a shortcut but V on its own wouldn’t work. But…

STOP PRESS

My Edit menu has mysteriously reappeared. I haven’t closed down and restarted or anything. Just been away from my pooter for a while. Curiouser and curiouser. But delighted to have functionality returned.

I’m getting confused Simon :exploding_head:

I’ve set up v on it’s own as a shortcut to do a paste-in-place (I never use standard paste), and c on it’s own to do copy

The Paste and Paste In Place commands will be grayed unless there are objects that have been copied to the clipboard.

Similarly, the Cut, Copy and Delete commands will be grayed unless there are objects selected.

Sure Dan, but I was trying to use it normally. So I tried deleting something with Ctrl-X and then PiP and did the same with Ctrl-C. Neither was working in the way I was used to.

But the good news is that it all magically returned to normal. I have no idea how. I hadn’t closed and re-opened anything. Maybe I was doing something stupid (not unheard of!) but it’s a process I do so often that I would be surprised if I had.

Providing the fault does not return, I do not go on experience crashing, and the glitches Curic acknowledges get corrected, I can say that the Pie Menu should help with productivity. If he can extend its capabilities (as he also suggests) to include non-icon commands, that would be icing on the cake. And if he could find a way to create a Copy command that does not involve modifier keys, he would become my Man of the Moment! Sorry…Person of the Moment.

I’ve already posted such commands 4 years 5 months ago …

They can be modified to add icons for buttons. Curic will know how.

Then I eagerly await @curic4su becoming my Person of the Moment!

On Mac, I’ve set Ctrl+v as a shortcut for Paste in Place.

I think you could use Alt+v on Windows but haven’t tried it.
