Dynamic Labeling in Layout and More
New Units of Length for Schedules and Layout
FlexTools has expanded its range of supported units of length, providing you with more flexibility for generating reports (schedules) and dynamically labeling flex windows and doors inside Layout.
You can now use the following units:
- mm
- cm
- dm
- Inches
- Feet' Inches" x Feet' Inches"
- WWHH (ConDoc) - FeetInchesFeetInches
Dynamic Labeling in Layout
Get the sizes of your flex doors and windows directly in Layout with the label tool.
Dynamic Size and Summary attributes with various units of length
A Size attribute will display only the size of the window/door.
A Summary attribute will show you the size + additional metadata.
Size label displayed in 'WWHH (ConDoc)' units
Summary label displayed in 'WWHH (ConDoc)' units with metadata before and after the size
The metadata displayed as prefix and suffix to the Size can be modified through the Code and Type values in the 'Report Settings' of the dynamic component within SketchUp.
Important! If you want to show only Code or only Type, enter a space and hit 'Apply' to clear the value of the attribute you want to hide.
Layout's label tool remembers your last choice, allowing you to apply subsequent labels without the need to re-select your preferred attribute.
Boost your ConDoc Workflow! 
Since FlexTools now supports the WWHH units of length, you can now quickly label your windows and doors in Layout with the standard ConDoc notation!

Compatibility with CleanUp³
All 2D symbols have been updated so they will NOT get accidentally deleted when running the default settings of Thomthom's CleanUp³ extension.
(Special thanks to our good friend and reseller Rune Lyngby from Epix for requesting this compatibility fix).

Fixed Component Finder Thumbnails for Sketchup 2023
We've added correct handling of thumbnail generation in Component Finder specifically for Sketchup 2023.
In Sketchup 2022 there was a bug where thumbnails would not update after you saved a component for the second time.
(Many thanks to Thomthom and the Sketchup Extensibility Team for listening and introducing new API methods so we could get things working again in Sketchup 2023).
