Hi,

Can you be more explicit on the 'failure' of Instant RoofPro.
Does this plugin load normally or do you get an error message?

'InstantRoof' comes with a .rb file that's simply 'packed' and a .rbs file that's fully 'encrypted'; there's also an InstantRoof folder with .txt files in defining some roof types.
The .rb file simply says
module InstantRoofProConfig def self.sendCustomerData customerData = ['#########stuff###########'] return customerData end end
The .rbs file is un-readable...
I suspect that the code assumes that the files/folder are always in the main ../Plugins/ folder [either hard-coded or by using .find_support_file] and never elsewhere - but it should be possible to allow this... Get in touch with the author Chuck about it - he'd limiting his tools' flexibility otherwise...

I tried with the free version of the plugin, which comes as a single file InstantRoof.rbs.

It is confirmed that it must be located in the standard SU Plugin directory(C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins). It does not work when put in another folder
000_AdditionPluginFolders can load InstantRoof.rbs without any problem. The menu appears, and the functions seem operational.
However, when trying to load it by hand, there are some errors


load "InstantRoof.rbs"
Error; #<SyntaxError; (eval);155;in `load'; C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/InstantRoof.rbs;1; no .<digit> floating literal anymore; put 0 before dot

      ^
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/InstantRoof.rbs;1; Invalid char `\010' in expression>
(eval);155
(eval);155

I could not try with the Pro version. As TIG mentioned, it may come with a different setup (files and folders), and therefore could have other problems.

In general, there may be a need for some tuning to load rbs file and I'd like to fix this in 000_AdditionalPluginFolder.

By the way, InstantRoof is a superb plugin, quite impressive in what it does.
