TOOL ON SURFACE- DESPERATE FOR HELP
-
I re-installed Sketchup on my laptop and the tools on surface had to be re-installed but i cannot get it to work attached is a diagram of my plugins folder
can anyone please show me what's wrong.....desperate
-
Are you getting any errors in the ruby console?
-
No Remus the SU starts up just fine but i cannot find any reference to the TOS in any menue
-
Have you ticked the box for Tools on Surface in Window>Preferences>Extensions?
-
Dave i don't have the option to tick in that menue?
-
I'm no expert but my guess is that you've got something wrong in your installation of the plugin.
From memory, you should have in your Plugins folder a folder called TOS_Dir_15 and two RB files; LibFredo6 and ZLoader_OnSurface.
Did you install LibFredo6?
-
Have you tried removing the whole lot and starting again?
-
The current setup is
TOS_15so you are way behind ?
It should be
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins\TOS_Dir_15\
I have most of those files, but mine works though I don't haveLibFredo6_ES.lang
Additionally I do haveQuickcard - ToolsOnSurface - English - v1.5 - 12 Sep 09
But neither of these should matter...To load the file you need
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins\LIBFREDO6_Dir_34\
[and all of its contents]
and the file that kicks it all off...
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins\ZLoader__OnSurface.rbCheck you have got all of the required files in the right places.
You can download all of these things from the topics in these forums... -

Hope this will add some light to the drama
PS i have placed the ZLoader__OnSurface and LibFredo6 files in the TOS_Dir_15 folder

Please read my post again.
You seem to have the correct folders in ../Plugins/ as I said...
EXCEPT that nowhere did I say you should have a folder called../Plugins/ZLoader__OnSurface/- Therbfile that you've put in there should go directly into ../Plugins/ folder - as I had said...
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins\ZLoader__OnSurface.rb
If you move that file [ZLoader__OnSurface.rb] into ../Plugins/ it will load when SUp starts - as it is nothing loads to kick off the sequence of events, as absolutely everything has been put inside sub-folders ???
For the avoidance of doubt - leave the other files in the other folders as they are...Please try again...
You do seem to be making something of a jumble ... -

TOS_Dir_15 shouldn't be an empty folder either.
