Rudy Console Error

Humpmetwice

Error: #<NoMethodError: private methodextrude_along_path' called for nil:NilClass>`

Does anyone have any idea what this is and how to fix?
Thanks Kurt

Well, what are you doing when it happens? Why do you have the console open, are you having errors that are causing SketchUp to not work or to bugsplat?

Yes and know...
You have a script with extrude_along_path as a method BUT it's being called will nil as an argument - either because nothing is selected or the face/path has been deleted ?
What are you doing when you get this message - without knowing that it's useless to speculate further...........

All I'm doing is right clicking on a component with the console open. not trying to execute the plugin or anything.

Having done a thorough grep through my collection of most of the available scripts I find that my very old ' ExtrudeAlongPath.rb' contains a raw def ' extrude_along_path' outside of a class or module - the text occurs in no other code. It might be defined inside some 'compiled' code by someone else that then clashes ?
If you have this script and type extrude_along_path in the Ruby console what happens ?
If you try and use it without a proper selection you get an error like this:

Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `edges' for nil;NilClass>
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/25-ExtrudeAlongPath.rb;147;in `get_vertices'
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/25-ExtrudeAlongPath.rb;228;in `extrude_along_path'
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/25-ExtrudeAlongPath.rb;543
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/25-ExtrudeAlongPath.rb;543;in `call'

BUT I can get no error otherwise...
Incidentally, there are much better tools available now - like FAK...

Everything acts as it should with the plugin. Once I select a path and paste "extrude_along_path" in the Rudy console the menu pulls up with no errors.

Think I have it fixed and it had something to do with the plugin moldelfuntion? http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2010/06/plugin-model-function.html
Not completely sure about that but I uninstalled it and everything's working good again!

TIG

So to recap...
The plugin 'modelfunction' is the culprit ?

Perhaps best avoided UNLESS you anticipate glitches ???
