      Edson,

      Thank you for reporting this problem. Could you please say what else plugins do you use in SketchUp and how often this problem happens?

          Dmitry,

          Edson is unable to run my VisMap Ruby on some large models. I wrote a 20-line reporter that, I hoped, would help find the problem. Edson copied my little bit of code into "t.rb" on his machine and loaded it in the Ruby Console.

          At least that was the plan. That's what Edson's screenshot shows. Somehow, your LEDAS Driving Dimensions plugin was triggered, instead of the little reporter. Any idea how LDD could have been triggered?

          Martin

            Edson, Martin,

            Thank you for these explanation. The reason of the bug seems to be clear - our plugin tries to update a model, but fails since the model contains some corrupted piece of data (not surprising, since Edson uses "a huge number of plugins"). We are going to fix this behavior in the forthcoming version of our LDD plugin by checking the correctness of our data before updating a model.

            However, I have to ask another question: when exactly the problem happens? When you open a model or when you load 't.rb' in the Ruby console?

              only when I load 't.rb' in the Ruby console.

                    just tried to run vismap after having updated the driving dimensions plugin. there was an error but it does not seem to be related to DD.

                      That is VisMap doing exactly what it is supposed to do: reporting that your model has an error. It is trying to loop through something (the "each" method) that doesn't exist.

                      Can you send me the model? (Too big? Break into pieces. Send pieces. I'll rebuild.)

                      Thanks!

                        martin,
                        i have sent you a model via yousendit. however, it is hard to believe all my models have problems. i tried vismap on more than 10 with the same result. i am inclined to think vismap has difficulties to handle large models.

                        regards,

                          Don't know that service. Do I have to contact someone?

                          Your workflow: do you start every model fresh, or do you grab pieces of existing models to create new?

                          Either way, with a problem model in hand, it shouldn't take long to fix the model or VisMap. Look forward to it.

                            you do not have to do anything. you will receive an email with a link to download the file.

                            i start my models from zero but along the way i may import pieces from others.

                                  In gmail, that email probably went to your spam folder.
