        Looks like April 12th was the last time he logged on. you could try PM'ing him or sending him an email through the forum. That might make it to his home email account if you'd like,

          Any possibilities to make skin.rb working inside of groups/components?
          This will be very nice(i usually must copy the geometry outside of the groups and after running the skin taking it back into group or component)..

              Hi All,
              I'm new but i think i fixed the MacProblem with Skin.rb
              Because of Sketchup V6 and V7 have no NamedOptions there was this NilObject Problem.
              Here is the latest Code (2.5) with changes to the Option related Sections.
              Should be also running under Windows.
              Best Regards

                Hi Again,

                Here is the next Version. I call it -26, because it works now within Groups and Components.
                This was a very minor Change frome active_model.entities to active_model.activ_entities.
                Thanks to Thomas Thomassen for his clearly tt_cg2.rb

                Best Regards

                      @christian-dl:
                      Does skin26 have the toolbar icons? And can anyone confirm Windows operability?

                          Believe me. It is nothing personal. I had such difficulty before with getting the icons the ruby and the drop down menu entry in one package, I am just not interested in more of the same gymnastics.

                              Dear Christian,

                              Your skin-26 doesn't seem to be compatible with the icons for skin22. Only 2 of the 5 icons appear. Could you please produce a folder of icons which are compatible with your script?

                              Regards,
                              Bob

                                  Something makes me believe that Architectboy is no longer involved with Sketchup, or Ruby. He may have moved on to other interests as he got older. He just didn't resign formally. He certainly showed that he has the talent.
                                  If one of the moderators cares to pursue this, I think I know his full name and what region he last resided. I otherwise will respect his privacy.

                                    Dear Bob,

                                    As I found out.
                                    The v22 is the only one with a 5 icons Toolbar.
                                    Also in this Version there is no Settingdialog. I think thats the Reason for the 5 Icons.
                                    This Version also works within Groups and Components.

                                    All later Version have a three icons Toolbar and the Settings dialog.
                                    I don't know exactly why the Author of Skin changed this Behavior.
                                    Also he changed back to active_model.entitities. Why ever??

                                    With skin-26.rb i repair only the NamedOptions and changed back to active_model.active_entitities.
                                    Because on OSX, Skin doesn't work at all since v23.
                                    Because i'm not a mathematical genius i don't know very well about changes to the 3D Code.

                                    So If you satiesfied with v22, stay there.

                                    Best Regards
                                    Christian

                                        This was done with skin26 on MacPro. There's no smoothing and there's one icon not showing (but it works - preferences). On my iMac at home all three icons show.

                                        The Skin folder has four icons in it.

                                            This is an older version of the Skin folder that has six icons in it that results in three being shown with skin26.rb.
                                            Note that "Smooth" is unavailable (no other choice).

                                            I might add that it took several tries to get the result shown (all sorts of weird results).
