      Anyone tried this with SU8 yet? I seem to be having difficulty with component orientation and scaling.

        Screenshots? Would help with more specific information.

          Yeah, screenshot please πŸ˜„ I have not gotten around to testing my plugins with version 8. I'm sure there might be some problems. But problems with scaling and orientation were not on my list of things I was expecting to break - so I'm not exactly sure what might be wrong. But screenshots might help, thanks!

            Component Stringer Loading Problem

            I loaded the RB into sketchup folder..but when trying to activate, it doesn't work.

            Ruby Console showing:

            Error: #<ArgumentError: Cannot convert argument to Sketchup::Point3d>
            C:/PROGRA~1/Google/GOOGLE~2/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:79:in add_text' C:/PROGRA~1/Google/GOOGLE~2/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:79:in curve_labeler'

            C:/PROGRA~1/Google/GOOGLE~2/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:190

            Any help, Chris?

                    I found the bug, it was on this side of my computer screen.

                            Hmm, does it fail everytime you try it? Can you upload a small test file here for me?

                            Are you using the Itallian Language of SketchUp and is your computer set to Itallian?

                            Upload a test model, I'll start by looking at that.

                              Nice plugin Chris, would love to see an option to use the tangent of the two edges at the node rather than perpendicular to one edge

                                  I'm getting this:

                                    The relevant code is this [ending line #103

                                    
                                            sel = model.selection
                                    ###...............
                                    		comp = []
                                    		$arc_labels = []
                                    		comp_height = []
                                    
                                    		sel.each do |e|
                                    		  comp << e if e.is_a? Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
                                    		  edges << e if e.is_a? Sketchup;;Edge
                                    		end
                                    
                                    		comp_height = comp[0].definition.bounds.depth
                                    
                                    

                                    So the error is saying that the selection [sel] doesn't contain a component-instance ?
                                    Since 'nil' has no 'definition'...
                                    It could be better trapped to stop if the selection contains no instances but...
                                    SO - question: does the selection contain a component-instance when you run the tool ??

                                      hi sr Chris Fullmer.
                                      This plugin is generating the following error

                                      I use sketchup8 pro

                                      It is possible to fix?

                                      Thank you very much

                                        Can you supply the model or a part of the model you are working on? Is it repeatedable on all models for you?

                                          that error can not play Mr. Chris, but the plugin works well in general.
                                          thanks
