      Hoping you are still watching this post. Have a problem in river city.
      have xp sp3 and su 7.1+ free. Was trying to evaluate your builder but cannot get the input box to appear. Have tried various thing but no joy. Is this a limit of free or do I need 8

        mac1,
        StairCaseBuilder is a Dynamic Component (SU version 7 file format)
        All users of SketchUp can take advantage of DCs - both Free & Pro.
        SU 7 & SU 8 can both use Dynamic Components
        ...........
        TO USE THIS DC:

        Open Component File - Don't Import it into an existing SU Model
        (but see note below).
        ...
        Bring up DC Toolbar: View - Toolbars - Dynamic Components
        Dynamic Components Toolbar - Yellow Middle Icon - Component Options
        Click on DC
        Dialog Box Options should appear
        ...
        Set options
        Apply
        ...
        Copy & Paste DC Staircase into your own model
        .....................
        You can actually import this DC into an existing model like a regular Component but the DC will be nested 1 Level down
        (Look at Outliner).
        You can still bring up the Dialog Box but you'll have to go inside the Components Context to do this.
        (or Explode the outer most Component once)
        ..............
        Hope this Helps / Make Sense

        Regards
        Howard L'

          Thanks for the quick reply. In ISO 1 context of Dc selected a step then component option .Ruby consul states
          Error: #<TypeError: cannot convert nil into String>
          (eval):1321:in set_file' (eval):1321:in show_dialog_orig'
          (eval):7558:in show_dialog' (eval):7598:in show_configure_dialog'
          (eval):155:in initialize' (eval):147:in call'
          Error: #<TypeError: cannot convert nil into String>
          (eval):1321:in set_file' (eval):1321:in show_dialog_orig'
          (eval):7558:in show_dialog' (eval):7598:in show_configure_dialog'
          (eval):155:in initialize' (eval):147:in call'
          If I follow your instructions, tool bar, yellow icon, then click on the DC I get just one error. Bummer

            Update for you.
            Regressed back to SU 7.0 free, after a copy of may installed SU 7.1 plugins and tools to desk top, and your DC worked OK ☀
            Re-downloaded SU7.1 free with the as supplied Google plugins and tools, and your DC works OK ☀
            Search is now on for "bad" plugin or ❓
            Thanks again for your help

                  See the first post in the thread.

                  Sort of the standard here for plugins and components: The download is usually in the first post--even for updates.

                  I am downloading this one. Fantastic work! Thanks so much. Peter
