[Plugin] Selection Toys

brookefox · 20 Oct 2010, 17:33

OK. Thank you. I thought that since it is accessed by the tools menu..., but thinking is not my strong suite.

You must enable it from Tools->Selection Toys->Enable Toolbar before it appears under View->Toolbars->Selection Toys.

While the install didn't seem that clear to me, I didn't notice many install problems in the thread, so likely I am being thick. Perhaps because I assumed it was different than the norm when it is not. (Is the download count related to this, only 141 for such a useful tool? Or is that count only since the last update or somehow not reliable?)

Thanks, again.

Since last update - there's been thousands of downloads all together of the previous versions.

With my more recent plugins I've started to add more detailed descriptions of how they should be installed.

I will remove and try to re-install as now for me under Tools, there is no 'Selection Toys'; and so not surprisingly, under View->Toolbars there is no 'Selection Toys'. After entity pick, context menu does not show sel toy choices.

Folders TT_Lib and TT_Select_Toys are both in Plugins, as is file tt_selection_toys.rb.

You need to enable the toolbar under Tools -> Selection Toys -> Enable Toolbar

Thank you, but under Tools there is no 'Selection Toys.'

hmm.... no errors upon startup?

brookefox · 26 Oct 2010, 20:40

Yes, a few. This is not current; I will update it soon.

They refer to other plugins. You seem to have multiple issues though. You might want to consider starting from scratch..

brookefox · 27 Oct 2010, 00:29

Yes, I thought they referred to other plugins, but you were kind enough to ask. I think I would much rather try to ferret out the problems with a few than mess with the score(s) that seem to be OK. After addressing the apparent issues, the current load error msg. is:

Error Loading File tt_selection_toys.rb

thomthom · 27 Oct 2010, 06:23

hm... and you have the latest TT_Lib (version 1.x) ?
Can you post a screen of the content of your TT_Lib folder?

brookefox · 27 Oct 2010, 16:38

Well, certainly, but I feel I have taken enough of your time and will try to re-DL and re-install in the likely event that I boobied somehow along the way...

Either way I will be back.

Thank you.

thomthom · 27 Oct 2010, 17:32

It looks like you have an old version of TT_Lib installed. The dates of the files, and the lack of many of the files from the latest version would suggest this. You can confirm by typing TT_Lib::Version into the Ruby Console and see what it returns.

If you recently did download TT_Lib but did not get 1.2.0 then maybe you're getting a cached version.

Results:

@unknownuser said:

TT_Lib::Version
Error: #<NameError: (eval):2537: uninitialized constant TT_Lib::Version>
(eval):2537

Perhaps a cached version: that may let me off the stick a little for screwing things up.

I re-DLd and installed and will advise if fix fails.

Many thanks.

I have sketchup pro 8 ..I've removed my old version of selection toys and downloaded the new one.I already have this 1.2.0 version of TT_lib. But everytime i start sketchup i get a dialog box saying ...Selection Toys requires a new version, 1.2.0, of TT_Lib. Sketchup pauses for a moment...then all the toolbars come in place and selection toys plugin works fine...what should i do to get rid of the dialog box??

thomthom · 13 Nov 2010, 18:30

What do you get when you enter TT_Lib::Version into the Ruby Console?

I get this...

TT_Lib::Version
Error: #<NameError: (eval):2307: uninitialized constant TT_Lib::Version>
(eval):2307

wonder why i'm getting an error when selection toys plugin is working fine...

thomthom · 14 Nov 2010, 08:10

what? you get that error but Selection Toys is still loaded?

Something is messed up here. Can you post a screenshot of your plugins folder?

Sorry - it should be TT_Lib::VERSION - note the big capitals.

This seem to be the same as what brookefox had: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=14975&start=315#p282763
Simply not updated TT_Lib version. Make sure you overwrite the old files.

TT_Lib2 won't have anything to do with Selection Toys.
