thank you very much, it still works and i tried to donate

Hi everybody, Just Downloaded the plugin. Did get pointed to this by BOX in this discussion. https://forums.sketchup.com/t/how-to-open-the-component-skp-file/195138/10 TIG is mentioned and knows much more then me about Ruby, maybe it a simple something to get it working. Or are there newer extensions that do the opening of a imported component skp file for editing?

Hi Ken! How are you getting on with Curic Studio? I purchased the plugin last week. Just a question, does Curic Studio works offline for you as well? It crashes Sketchup each time, I have no internet connection. Would be great to hear from you! RW

The version in the extension store by Tig works in newer versions.

Yes, thanks, I saw that. As I said above. I will have to re-download it and make sure I get the 2022 Pro this time.

That's fantastic!!!!! THANKS A LOT!

@keithswd said: but now with SU 2022 it seems to be causing SU to crash on startup. Hmmm.... I just installed it in SketchUp 2022 and gave it a try. Didn't affect startup and it works as expected.

A revised and working version can be downloaded HERE

I am using sketchup 2021. After running the plugin, all other plugins give an error. Error in C:/Users/samib/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2021/SketchUp/Plugins/!ae_LaunchUp/interception.rb:126 for add_item break from proc-closure C:/Users/samib/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2021/SketchUp/Plugins/!ae_LaunchUp/index.rb:138:in block in load_menus' (eval):5:in block in observe_instance_method' C:/Program Files/Chaos Group/V-Ray/V-Ray for SketchUp/extension/ruby/gui/context_menu:10:in block in init' Error in C:/Users/samib/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2021/SketchUp/Plugins/!ae_LaunchUp/interception.rb:126 for add_item break from proc-closure C:/Users/samib/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2021/SketchUp/Plugins/!ae_LaunchUp/index.rb:138:in block in load_menus'

Just for updating the post for Mitchell and Davecoopstl

Hi Psylo, Yes there is, and in TwinMotion as well. I'm too lazy (for the time being) to provide the option to flip data around XYZ axes...

I updated it.

the windows isn't cutting holes in the walls after installed.

It's fine. Just found that Arc Circles + will create an ellipse much the same like the old plugin.

There are two different built-in DXF/DWG exporters. The 2d one makes 'edges' of all exported geometry, including arcs and circles [intended for use in simple 2d graphics], the 3d one preserves arcs and circles [intended for 'CAD' use], so if you need them use the 3d version [even if your export is essentially '2d']...

Sadly no..

Is 4D virtual builder still supported? The website shows last update 2014. I reached out with no return email

To find the RUBY_VERSION, you must open the Ruby Console from within SketchUp - no need to use some confusing text editor extension. So to open the Console use the built-in menu item Extensions > Developer > Ruby Console. Type or copy/paste the RUBY_VERSION text and <enter> to get the result... However, I suspect that step won't get us far... because you seem you have some wrong ideas / confusion about how extensions work ?? For example you list several RBZ files to 'uninstall', which have nothing to do with how any properly installed extensions work... if they are in your Plugins folder you can delete them as they are not 'in use'... Also how did some of their their names get changed to not include the version suffix ? An RBZ is simply a type of ZIP file which contains all of the files needed by that extension and and which can be auto-installed using the correct tool. It might be best also to uninstall any current SketchUcation files in your Plugins folder, before doing a new clean installation. No need to re-install SketchUp itself... Do this when SketchUp is not running. Once any rogue RBZ files are removed, there are only two things to delete from Plugins, a SketchUcation.rb file which SketchUp uses to start the loading of that tool's code, and a subfolder called SketchUcation which contains all of the other code files etc needed by the toolset... Go to the PluginStore again and download the latest v4.1.3 of the SketchUcation toolset RBZ. It should arrive with its name and version in the RBZ - e.g. "SketchUcationTools_v4.1.3.rbz" Save that file into your Downloads folder... Do not rename or open it in any way. An RBZ has no place within your Plugins folder. If you do not have your browser's download setting configured properly it might do unexpected things with the downloaded RBZ - e.g. it should never try to open in SketchUp [or any other app], it should always download and save into your Downloads folder - and when it does save properly, never rename the RBZ. Fix those browser-settings if necessary... Assuming we now have the RBZ safely saved into you Downloads folder... Now open the built-in Extension Manager tool... Menu item Extensions > Extension Manager In the dialog that opens there's a button near the bottom 'Install Extension...' Click that button and find the downloaded RBZ in your Downloads folder - select it + OK. Accept any warning it gives about trusting the source etc... SketchUp should now auto-extract its various files and subfolders inside the chosen RBZ and put them into the right places inside your 'hidden' SketchUp Plugins folder... [C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2021\SketchUp\Plugins ... edit the user as appropriate] - it should overwrite any preexisting files... When it's done that, restart SketchUp to ensure everything is synced etc... Now does the Extensions menu SketchUcation submenu and associated Toolbar exist ? Hope this helps... Report back...

If Orient Faces does not work, then you can try FredoTools::AutoReverseFaces. https://www.youtube.com/v/gD_rxq1rL9c
