Looking at this screenshot one would think I am attempting to edit a wall panel however if you look a little closer you will notice that I am actually drawing a wall panel:
The HTML draw menu (Graphical UI Option) is almost ready to release. I have a bit more testing to do and some additional javascript logic to add to the HTML itself and then I think it will ready for prime time.
I think everyone will find this is a much quicker and easier way to create wall panels than the legacy (non-GUI) method. However, for those who prefer the old menu system that will still be available by setting the graphical UI option in the global settings (General tab) to "NO".
The other upside will be the ability to select from your presets rather than having to edit the wall panel after the fact.
Pressing the spacebar will exit out of the draw wall menu and tool, as is usual for SketchUp tools.
Pressing the ESC key on Windows will exit the current wall panel polyline and allow the user to start a new series of wall panel(s).
Clicking the Update button will update the draw tool with the parameters shown in the menu and allow the user to change things up mid-stream during the creation of wall panel(s).
I am hoping that this will be a big usability improvement for the plugin and make it quite a bit more efficient.
