      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!

                  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

                                  The relevant code is this [ending line #103

                                  
                                          sel = model.selection

                                  		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

                                    Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method edges' for nil:NilClass> C:/Archivos de programa/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:59:in curve_ordering'

                                    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

                                            Here is a link for it http://www.mediafire.com/?aesv4fd1ccv1cvn

                                            It does not get to the reverse option. The plugin works fine on a simple box and a curve.

                                            SU8, OSX 10.6.7

                                            It seems to write 'start' but not 'end'.

                                            I hope it is useful, if you have time to have a quick look.
